Writing goes hand in hand with remixing.

Remix's do not have to be originally an individual's idea, however, it must be changed or combined with another idea. This happens in culture constantly.

This is taking many ideas and mixing them together, creating a new product.

The changing of the ways in which people are reading and writing could not be ignored. This has been a huge step for humankind, now we must learn how to effective teach and learn information within a different understanding of literacy.

This is not something that they expected to just know and understand right away. There is always something new to be learned. Being able to learn from peers and the teacher is crucial.

Like discussed in the lecture, there are many parts to construction. Planning is a huge and helpful aspect. Simply focusing on creation could deter from the entire process.

This is constantly changing as advancements are made.

The concepts all work together. We should not get caught up on one specific concept but, instead, learn to use them interchangeably and with one another.

This is a great point! Being able to develop digital literacy will not only build confidence in their skills, but provide them with practice regarding literacy in general.

I find this intertwining of reading and communicating through technology fascinating. Not only is a never-ending amount of information at students and teachers fingertips, but they can share this information further through their own online communication. Like this says, this may also involve their own interpretations of what they read. Getting different perspectives is crucial to learning and makes communicating online a great tool for understanding.

I feel as though this is especially true regarding the web. Students must be taught how to effectively use it. However, this is only possible if the teacher knows how to effectively use it as well.

I like how this includes the word global. Literacy and learning can quickly transition from being confined to the walls of the classroom to engaged with global opinions and thoughts.

Students may be skilled in actively using the internet, however, they need the skills to be able to use it effectively. Understanding what to be searching and how to identify credible sources is a huge part of this.

This is a key part of teaching with technology. The use of the web provides endless opportunities and information that are accessible to all.

Integrating technology into the classroom requires a mixture of these, however, there is more learning involved with modification and redefinition. This is when there is a true development of learning with technology as not just a tool, but a chance to develop things in another space.

Knowing content is obviously a huge responsibility of educators.

Very true. Knowing content is way different than having a deep understanding of it. With having that more extensive knowledge, the ability to teach well becomes greater.

What's best for one classroom and topic may not work for the next. This will probably often be a trial and error method since this is all relatively new.

This is actually something that has worried me. With everything always advancing so quickly, it is difficult to know whether or not I will be prepared enough for my future students.

This is important. We cannot only focus on the benefits of technology and must observe their flaws as well. By doing so, we could then explain these constraints to the students while also encouraging to develop those skills in other ways that the certain technology being used cannot provide.

This makes them drastically different from what educators are used to using in classrooms and as these technologies develop further, their differences will grow as well. This is why being adaptable and flexible is so important.

We can not fight the use of technology in classrooms because it would go against what we, as educators, are meant to do. Even if we are not already familiar with these technologies that we should use, we need to learn. This is what being flexible and offering students maximized opportunity requires.

This is always an important thing to remember. Even if it seems like schools are progressing in countless ways, there are always children who are not receiving these opportunities. As future educators who may work with these children, we must do what we can to make them as skilled and involved as possible.

This is an important point. A lot of people, including myself at some points in my life, doubt the incorporation of technology in the classroom. However, there is no denying that these technologies provide endless opportunities that we can utilize in the classroom.

I feel like sometimes we can get really caught up in what we feel is important for kids to learn, however, it must be remembered that they may not even be properly learning if they do not care about the topic. Incorporating students' interests into the classroom could really enable a better learning environment for all.

The idea of incorporating personal interests into the classroom seems like the perfect way to get kids not only truly interested in a subject, but to also point them in the direction of opportunities and help in which they need.

Because the internet is used by everyone, all across the world, this is a crucial point that must be practiced by not only students, but us as future educators. Taking other cultures into consideration not only prevents conflict, but encourages the ability to see different perspectives and speak respectfully with people of all places and types.

This is why this matters. As educators, we are providing our students with the abilities they need to reach their potential. If we leave out teaching web literacy, we are, perhaps, preventing them from becoming these things.

This is arguably the most crucial aspect of reading on the web. Without credibility, the information being taken in is practically useless. We must be able to encourage students to find credible sources in order to encourage their learning through the use of the internet.

The map has to be these things in order for it to apply to everyone and all situations. Having a super specific map would not work for all types of people or applications, rendering it useless.

This is an important point. We must be able to openly discuss the issues regarding technology with students in order to understand how it had modified our lives. Without doing so, students may disregard the problems and put themselves in dangerous situations.

These questions have to focus around why, not just how an what. Being able to analyze why we are doing something gives insight into the importance of it.
