Students Today
Both videos for this week showed how advance students have become and what they expect to receive from their education. The first one was cute, but really showed how children are becoming advanced when it comes to technology. The boy on the second one is an amazing motivational speaker. I have seen this video a few times, and love it every time I watch it. He really challenges teachers to step it up and give their students what they deserve, to believe in what they students will become. We are preparing them for jobs that do not exist at this time, it is our duty to teach them well. Using technology is important because it teaches important skills that are needed today and in the future that weren't used in the past. It is important that education evolves alongside technology.

After School Matters
http://www.edutopia.org/pursuing-passions-after-school
This video is about pursuing passions after school. It is important for students to find what they love to do and have opportunities to do it. Being in an after school program helps students develop educationally, and helps them stay out of trouble. It also shows students the possibilities they have with their education and for their future. These are typical students who are able to find what interests them and then develop a talent in it. It is great when the talent involves technology, and also when it doesn't. Students are doing what they enjoy doing, and those needs are being met. The difficulties with after school programs are funds, finding qualified teachers, and also students having time for after school programs.

WOW
I was surprised to see a student so interesting in technology. I think it is great that he found what interested him and than used it to enhance his learning. Also that he tries new things and learns new things on his own. It was pretty cool to see him video taping his hockey playing to help him improve his technique.
Wonder
I wonder what first got him interesting in technology. And how much does it cost to provide him with the tools he needs. I also wonder what the other students in his classes think of him, from the video he seemed like a teacher's pet. And another thing, how does he have time for it all. School, homework, video making, hockey, guitar, video games, friends, and family life are a lot to juggle.
