Can we keep up?

Well, who would have thought that I would be so unproducitve during the university break. I wanted to read more, write more and certainly blog more.

Something I've wanted to blog about since Alec showed the video in class was a very interesting video about Web 2.0. You can watch the video here:



Now, I am someone who prides themself on being on the cutting edge of technology, but I have to admit that this video scared me. As an educator, how am I supposed to keep up with an internet that is so constantly changing and evolving? How can I teach my students internet safety when there is now so much to protect them from? What will happen when the new generation begins to be more comfortable with the new technology?

I know these are all questions educators before me have asked, it's an age old problem. I'm hoping my love for technology will help keep me on the cutting edge of the newest technology and even more than that, I hope I can figure out ways in which this technology will help improve the learning of my future students.
