PLN#1!

A Vision of Students Today” By, Kansas State University, illustrates how students use technology today, however  it is not effective to their system of education. Many College  students show how it’s like to be a student today, with new technology, and hundred dollar books, they get to the point. From how they make money to how they spend their time in class, and how they use their time on the internet. This shows that many students may not find what they are taught relevant to their lives. This video also shows how students can waste time so easily, some students are over achievers, and some are slackers. Some students also use the technology for their education while others use it for fun. Some students even talk about how they read more facebook pages than books. Students today use technology for multiple things, however technology is scarcely one of those things.

A Vision of Students Today” By, Kansas State University, shows how students may not get the education they need with the technology today. I agree, but at the same time disagree, because, I do a lot of my homework on my computer, but at the same time, the internet can get very distracting. “A Vision of Students Today” also shows me that most of the technology, and the current the education system may not be relevant to our lives. Now or ever. I also like how some the students explain how they goof around on the internet, instead of doing work. However there are some students over achieve and work hard to get through college. This reminds me of how I spend my time on the computer, sometimes I can waste I hours, but most of the time I work on the computer. I really think This video talks about and illustrates how students feel about education and technology.
