Wickipedia

In this day and time I really don't think wickipedia can be trusted. As days pass more people are becoming knowledgeable about computers. The internet is becoming a big toy to people. People get on the internet and play on it for days at a time. They learn new ways to do different things with the internet. An example of this is that an anonymous Wikipedia user deleted fifteen paragraphs from an article on e-voting machine Diebold, researchers found that the anonymous left behind digital fingerprints. This left hints about the contributor. The hints lead to the location of the computer used to make the edits.
AsI read on about the articles I started thinking really hard; Wickipedia might can be trusted in the future. There are a lot of college graduates out there learning a lot more about computers now. These future students will have the knowledge to stop the ananymous Wikipedia users. An example of this is Cal Tech computation and neural systems graduate student Virgil Griffith. Virgil established a searchable database that ties organizations where those edits apparentlt originated, by cross-referencing the edits with data on who owns the associated block of internet IP addresses. In my opinion I think Wickipedia will be safe to search in the near future.

I think iuniversity will be a great thing to use in my future teaching.

I do think that the main thing a regular classroom teacher can use is the iuniversity publishing books. Teachers can go on iuniversity and it will send you to great assortment of books.

Duke University

Duke University hands out free Apple ipods to incoming freshmen. The college says that mp3 players will give the students a chance to download lesctures and books. The popular mp3 player can be used as educational purposes as well as entertainment. The school made a website that similar to the apple's itunes music site. The apple site allows students to download recorded lectures, audio books, and other content.
The ipods not only downloads lectures and class assignments, but also downloads freshman orientation material and the academic calender. School officals says that this is an experiment to see if they can motivate faculty and students to think creativly about using digital audio content. The officals hope this will advance educational goals in the same way that ipods and simialar devices have had such a big impact on music distribution.
When I become a teacher in the future I could use the ipods in the physical education field by providing my athletes an ipod to be able to view sport schedules, study plays, and view other schools records. The athletes really would like this because they could view all the other stuff and listen to music. I think the apple ipods are a good idea to use them in the education fields.

A Culture Revolution

This article that you wrote is very interesting. The article is right, more and more new inventions are being develop every minute in life. The article explained some explanations about culture revolution and the statement is right. We are leaving a culture of reading and writing. This leads us to a culture of listening and watching. In my opinion I wish i was not living in the culture of listening and watching. As growing up it was never forced to read a lot, this leads me to not liking to read. Reding is very important and we are taking it out of our students eyes and don't even realize it.
Not only did the article write about reading and writing it also described the communication culture we are living in. The communication is changing from reading, writing, and conversationg to multimedia data. This leads to Audio CDs, Laserdiscs, CD-Roms, and Game Machines.
If you want to know the truth I don't really know if I would be ready to teach in the future because of all of the new inventions. Then again it might make it easier to teach because I know a lot new inventions we have now that I did not have when I was younger. This article really extended my thinking about how I am going to teach in the future.
