Video in the Age of Participation," by Glen Bull.

The author starts the article by telling how video is becoming the new frontier in the technology world. He also discusses how teachers can use video in the classroom for such things as watching video's of the wild and using it as a way of digital connection to the standards. He also gives an brief overview of Vista, a non-profit organization that was founded to open educational digital media, with an emphasis on student interaction.

Questions:

1. How big of a part will video's play in a classroom? I feel, like technology as a whole, it video's will play a big part in the classroom. Even when I was in school, we watched dozens of videos which we would then either be tested on or do an assignment based on. I feel that technology is becoming a big part of everyday education, as it should.

2. What opinion do you have of programs such as Vista? From what I read I think this, and others like it, are wonderful. I am all for any type of resources that will engage students in a better education.
