Gary Hayes Social Media Count

This was amazing to me I knew that millions of people were on the internet but man that was crazy just the amount of emails that had been sent in just the small amount of time that I was on the site. this just goes to show you that we are in the technological age and if you don't get on board now you will be left in the dark. If you have seen the counter imagine how many of the people sending email are children or the number of social networking pages created how many of them are children the social networking page is probably more adults than children mainly because most 8 to 18 year old's already have social networking pages they have a myspace page or a facebook page or even both and twitter. This just proves the point that as a teacher you have to be technologically literate because the kids you are teaching are very literate and if your not you will never suceed as an educator.

  1. I agree. I was amazed at the rate that the numbers were changing. This is perfect example of why technology should be used in the classroom. The students today are growing up in a world that solely relies on technology for everyday life. Leaving technology out of education is not doing students any justice!
