Response to Zero to six
As I read the article I realized that already my daughter at five months is off to a bad start... she's completely mesmerized by anything electronic...tvs,computers, phones...you name it she wants it...I try to read to her as much as I can, my husband on the other hand...
The key issues in this text is that children today are exposed to a much larger amount of media than we were at that age... things have definitely changed since we were young...
This is definitely apparent within my classroom... students want to be constantly entertained- they can't sit still to even read for 15 minutes.... students can tell me all about what they watched last night,but ask about what they read 2 minutes ago, BLANK STARES!!!!

My hopes for this class are that I will become more comfortable and successful at using technology within my classroom with my students... my concerns are that I will not have enough computer knowledge to be comfortable using the technology and that my students activities on the computers will be limited
