I enjoyed this reading and think I will utilize quite a bit of the resources discussed in the text. The three that stuck with me the most were the Weblogs, Wikis, and RSS. The inmplications of technology are incredible, especially in the inner city classroom which is where I work. Students who previously had trouble figuring out what they could contribute to a greater society of knowledge are now very capable of conrtibuting via wikis. Students who previsous had trouble generating netwroks through meaningful contacts are now able to do that via the internet.
I also see technology as potentially maginalizing however. Working in schools all over Jefferson county, I can tell you that a school's ability to provide every student with a working and updated computer is closely related with the economic situation of the neighborhood the school resides in.
