The video about using IPod touches as an educational tool I believe is a great idea to pursue at Mackenzie. I believe this because the IPod touch has thousands of educational applications such as Shakespeare apps that allow you to understand the symbolism and hidden meaning within each line of Shakespeare's books. English classes would benefit from using this technology because many students have trouble understanding Shakespeare, so with the Shakespeare application students will understand more. Also, students use technology on an hourly basis, so it would be beneficial to the students to use technology because concentration will improve if there is a technological tool to assist students. For this idea to work I believe we would need to just buy the IPod touches and program educational applications onto the IPod that will benefit the student and improve concentration.
The video about connecting your school to another school somewhere else around the world, I believe would be an amazing use of technology. We can connect to other countries; we can study their country's economy by having a one on one conference with another school by using a program called Skype, which allows you to video conference. International business classes, Economy classes and world issues are possible candidates that would greatly benefit from this program. By using this technology they will be able to study and understand a countries economy, history or anything else that will provide the students with knowledge that can not be given from reading a textbook.
