Are you in Social Media?

Video clip -> SocialMedia Revolution 2011

I expected that a large number of people involved in social media such as Face book, Google, etc. However, according to this video, it is quite REVOLUTION!!! 


More than 90% of marketers use social media, which means many people are exposed to social media! Social media is powerful tools that allow people to create, share or exchange information, ideas, pictures and videos in virtual communities and networks. Furthermore, social media depend on mobile and web-based technologies to create highly interactive platforms through which individuals and communities share, co-create, discuss, and modify user-generated content. They introduce substantial and pervasive changes to communication between businesses,organizations, communities, and individuals. 

For instance, looking back on my daily life, I always carry and pay  attention to an iphone in my hand, texting about my concerns or interests of everyday and sharing it with others. There are a bunch of apps I can enjoy and sometimes, I post dinner food on the plate in the nice restaurant. It seems to be that I cannot live without my electronic device. My opinion from this clip is that our life styles have been changing, so our education may reflect this major society issue!  

Future Learning in Our World!

Video Clip ->  FutureLearning Documentary 2012 

We have to consider the NEXT GENERATION who is the FUTURE!  To arm it with the relevant, timeless skills for our rapidly changing world, we need to revolutionize what it means to learn.
This clip shows about how technology plays a significant role in education. In this video, some educators mentions the function of technology like computer in our learning. They are redefining how we engage young minds for a creatively and technologically-advanced future. For example, one thing I was impressed is that, according to Seth Weinberger, we need to connect a computer to classroom itself. The goal of this is that  teachers do more higher order things and let the computers do more basic thing like all the practice. 
Through watching this clip, I think that technology can teach us many great things and this will definitely influence on our learning environment as well as life styles.
