Technology Will Kill
Technology Will Kill is about new technology constantly replacing old technology. I had no idea that they were about to do away with Google Reader! It is very frustrating to have to find new ways to view things after we have already gotten attached to something we have been using. We tend to grow dependent on these things because we make them into a ritual of our every day lives, but it is our job as educators to try our best to stay posted on new ways to use the web. Like this post said, we need "to experiment with something new -- and quite probably, something better than we ever could have expected."

The Handcuffs Holding Us Back [SLIDE]
Bill Ferriter thinks that teachers and principals are bound to only teach what legislators want us to teach. I agree with him, and I also agree that it is time for a change in the classroom. We need to teach students things that will help better our future and stop focusing so much on teaching our kids to memorize stuff to regurgitate on a test.
