Nifiza's Wired

The video about Nafiza is a good example of how young people today are truly connected to the virtual world and demonstrates the mass integration of multiple applications that is takes place in even fairly simple projects.




My most significant takeaway from this video is a reminder to stay up to date and literate about the virtual world and what is going on in it. This is important for my own good so that I might make the most of my time and technology to have some fun or help me with school. As a teacher I need to understand what the kids in my class are capable of and make sure that I encourage them to really use and learn about all the resources at their disposal.

This video connects with the experiances in my own life in that when I do have the time i enjoy tinkering with the internet, especially video and audio applications. Finding a way to apply things that I really enjoy to what I actually need to do makes things both more enjoyable and amore productive.

Some of the implications of this video in terms of my career as a teacher is to think of some ways to incorporate the technology to present what I am teaching in class in a more engaging way. Also to encourage students who are more literate to help the students who are having more trouble. This helps everyone really learn the material more thoroughly and gets kids actively invovled.
