What I learned about Wiki
I learned that the people editing the Wiki pages, for the most part are reliable people. They enjoy what they are doing and have a lot of knowledge on it. They are honest and factual when posting information. They also have a lot of experience with using Wiki and they do a good job creating articles. The research we have done with Wiki has made me realize that Wiki can be a good, positive source. It is not all unreliable, you just have to check and make sure it seems okay. Also make sure it is not your only source!

Do we have a positive attitude?
"Spell-check, along with online search engines, may be convincing us that devoting energy to honing spelling skills is anachronistic." I strongly agree with this statement.
I believe that spell check and autocorrect is hurting the worlds ability to spell. When you type something in the search engine, most of time it will still find what you are looking for. So why bother remembering how to spell it? Or when you are typing a paper and you misspell a word. Most times it will underline in red and help you fix it. As long as you can get close to what you are trying to spell, then how cares if you know how to spell it? Wrong. It is very important for people to learn how to spell, and while I think autocorrect and spell check can be good they can also be very damaging. From personal experience I know that I am not a good speller and these things have made it worse for me. I don't bother to remember how to spell a word if Google or Microsoft will help me again later.
Here is someone that agrees.
"whatever the benefits quote"
I strongly disagree with this statement. I believe that it helps. It does so many positive things for children and aids in learning. It is not damaging for the kids learning.

My mathematical induction of the future
My reaction to the future of work video:
I dont like the fact that work is almost become a persons house and everything depends on your work.
Location in the future wont matter, we can communicate with people halfway across the world at home. I believe that is a good thing for families, and will help familes grow closer together.
College is the new high school. This statement didnt really surpirse me but I strongly agree with it. It also said it is not okay if you dont how to do something. I think that that is crazy and it is not right. There are going to be things in life that peeople have trouble with not every one is perfect.
How did my educational background help with my future job?
I took computer classes to help me know how to use different sites to help with my school work. My math teachers showed me websites to help me with problems that I was having trouble with. I was shown different activies to help me with teaching in the future. I was teach that nothing is free in life, and I have to earn everything I do. I believe that is an important thing to know.
