Not Alone
Kelly's video on Obesity openened my eyes to an issue I've never really thought about- obesity is often handled alone. It is strange that obesity is an obvious problem, but it is something that we try to hide and take care of all by ourselves. So many people suufer from obesity, and we should find accountability partners ans seek help from one another. Awesome video!

Luis the 21st
I enjoyed watching Luis' Digital Youth Portrait . I thought the most interesting part of the video was that Luis was able to use technology to bridge the cultural gap between himself and his mother. He helped her watch some of her favorite hispanic soap operas using you tube! This exemplifies the universality of technology.

Buddy System
Blogging Buddies really made me think. Why shouldn't students from other schools be able to communicate?
I never before saw typing as a tool for literacy. That makes so much sense because, as students guess a word's spelling, the computer can help them along. The computer can teach them about capital letters and punctuation. WOW
I remember when I was in the second grade, my teacher assigned us "Pen Pals" with another class. I could NOT wait to recieve my letter every week. Blogging Buddies revolutionizes the Pen Pal system.

Cameron Can!
I really enjoyed Cameron's Digital Youth Portrait. This was probably my favorite video we've watched (I'm working backwords, so I've seen quite a few). It is truly amazing how much Cameron has learned . One smart little boy.
-But-
It seems to me that wealth had a lot to do with his advancement. Maybe I'd be as Tech Savvy if I had a lap top-like little game when I was 4 years old,or a Green Screen and a Mac in the 6th grade! The parents seem so proud of him, and they should be. I'm really not trying to be too critical. He's a talented kid, I just think he has a view advantages.
