My name is Jameson Branch. I'm a student at the University of South Alabama. I think what you're doing with your blog is great! People need to be informed of the great benefits of technology in the classroom. Providing them with the information and where it can be found is the first step to reforming the educational realm. Thank you for educating on the usefulness of Skype. I recently conducted a Skype interview of my own, as a part of Dr. Strange's EDM310 class. It fascinated me how useful such a tool can be for collaboration among students, teachers, and colleagues! Great post!

Mr. Bower recently read a book that discusses the faults of traditional education. He expresses his views on the factory style teaching that doesn't hold any child's attention. I commented the following on his post:
Mr. Bower,
I couldn't agree more. I'm a student at the University of South Alabama. This semester I enrolled for EDM310, or Microcomputing Systems in Education. For the first time, I was challenged to delve into the world of technology, teaching myself as I went along. For the first time, I was in control of what I learned or didn't learn. Over the past few months, I have come to realize many of the faults of traditional education. Children today are surrounded by the stimulation that a technologically advanced society offers them. It's no wonder that they are bored with the classroom setting in which they are scolded for showing any interest in technology or disinterest in textbook oriented, caveman-style teaching. It's past time to reform the education system. Cookie-cutter teaching just isn't cutting it. Great post!
