Module 6
As a leader in educational technology, what can you do to help make emerging technologies valuable to others, while maintaining gender, cultural, and socioeconomic sensitivity?
I feel that technology is very valuable in the diverse world we live in. I have recently used Skype to communicate with a class in Mexico with my first grade students. It was amazing that the first grade students enjoyed this experience. The students understood each other’s accents without a problem my students even said adios as the Mexican students laughed as they all said good-bye. Many of my students will probably never leave the state much less travel abroad so this was quite an experience for them.
Dr. Soloway advocates, “cell phones for all schools not laptops.” He feels that students put their cell phones away when they come to school and that we should be allowing their use in the classroom to benefit the students and the academic growth.
I encourage technology in my classroom. Our system is made an initiative to get away from paper and copies and use technology more. This will be interesting as many teachers are afraid of the technology or just don’t want to change their ways indicating that the old way still works for now. I am doing several workshops for teachers this summer to help them out!

MODULE 5
Dr. Thornburg defines a Red Queen as "huge competition existing between two technologies, in the process all other competition is left behind" (Laureate Education, 2009). It is clear to me that streaming video is clearly competing with DVD’s for the market share of movie watchers at home. With the video streaming becoming cheaper and easier to do within the next 10 years we will see DVD’s obsolete. The one thing that hinders video streaming from taking over right now is that there are so many places where a person can get DVD’s. With gas prices being what they are, along with the time it takes to rent or buy a movie and return the movie video streaming becomes more attractive. I believe that more and more people will be leaning at video streaming as they realize it is easy and economic to use.
The thought of running to the store to rent or purchase a video today
When you decided to obtain a DVD for your science fiction assignment in Module 4, where did you go to find a movie based on a Philip K. Dick book? Did you rent or purchase a DVD, or did you view it digitally on your computer using Netflix or a similar vendor of video on demand?
First as with anything I want to know I went online to Google and goggled it. I first looked for free video’s and watched 60 minutes of the movie before my computer said my streaming was full. Becoming frustrated I went to Amazon and downloaded the movie for $5 as I had a $4 off coupon. This worked great I was able to see the movie. I live in rural Tennessee and a drive to town is a round trip 40 minute ride and the local McDonalds is the only one renting movies and selection is not extensive.
This chart shows the relative growth of instantly watched titles streamed by Netflix compared to DVD Shipments over the past decade. As impressive as the growth in DVD shipments has been for Netflix, the growth in Instantly Watched streams is even steeper. It is likely that 2010 will be the first year when Netflix's DVD shipments will begin to plateau off. Retrieved from http://www.feedfliks.com/dvd-vs-instant
Where do you think DVDs and video on demand are on the four criteria of McLuhan’s tetrad?
Enhances
Watching movies at home. More family time watching movies together.
DVD’S
Obsoletes
Going to the movies.
Going to video rental stores.
Reverses
Cheaper, quicker movie downloads
Retrieves
VHS and Beta and film strip movies of years past
