While I may not use the video as much as other teachers, I do believe I would use video conferencing for certain subjects. I think it would be a great thing to talk to other communities, compare data or learn new cultures and languages. Video conferencing makes these world connections possible. It would open the eye to what is out there and not just what is here.

Sure, Videos are a thing of the future, but why? The amount of time you put into rehearsing and filming and editing doesn't leave much time for much else. Yeah I can see the highlights of something new and fresh to teach a subject and even allowing students to embrace the method to do their own projects. However I cannot see myself using it often. What benefit do they present that another method cannot offer?
If I was not afraid of the Internet and Its world, I am now! Holy Cow is things scary on the Web. Privacy is a big issue, not just banking information, emails, social security but my family and address is now easily accessible to the knowledgeable web surfer. It makes me question How great is my security and privacy settings? Are people watching my moves and actions? Am I safe? Cyber bullying is another big issue because it is hidden. Regular bullying is easier to identify and control and deal with, but how do you deal with the bully you cannot see? They can sneak in, change their names, change their accounts and not even know who is responsible for the actions. If the Internet had not made so much of great impact in the world as well, I would argue that we did not need it. |
