Love of Technology Does Not Always Translate into Career Interest
This article was interesting. It showed that thought teens may have an interest in technology and be good at it that they do not necessarily see themselves as going into a career in technology. I think that that is a little sad. I hope that maybe teachers especially like me who teach computers can find ways to encourage students with the skills to move in the direction of a technology field.

Education World: Mobile Apps and Devices Increase Achievement
Education World: Mobile Apps and Devices Increase Achievement
At first the title of the article really caught my eye, then as I read more I was disappointed. The study only focused on one app so how can they say that mobile apps and devices increase achievement. I would be interested in a better study to see what mobile apps can do to help students.

Groups Urge Facebook Not to Aim Ads at Children Under 13
Groups Urge Facebook Not to Aim Ads at Children Under 13
The headline of this article caught my eye immediately, because according to the usage policy for facebook and most other web based social sites, you have to agree that you are above the age of 13. So why would anyone put ads up that are targeting children under 13? If this is true about the ads then facebook is admitting that they are aware that there are under age users on their site and doing nothing about it. Then that raise the same issue, what can be done. I wish I had answer.

Facebook to give young children access — iKeepSafe
Facebook to give young children access — iKeepSafe
Since children are signing up anyway, this maybe a good idea. To allow them to sign up but with restrictions on what they can and can't see and parental control. But since kids are already lying about their age on FB and not telling their parent they are on it, will this really make a difference?

I know, I know another article about Internet safety, but I just had to share because I really like the video they attached to the article.

I know there are many articles out there talking about Internet safety but what I liked about this one was there was a plan to try and educate the parents. There were steps that they took to take the time to teach parents how the computers worked and help them teach their kids to be safe.

I love technology being a computer teacher and am from time to time a facebook junky but.....is this what our country is coming to???? Actually the article is about digitizing voter registration in New York, which I think is a great idea. But as they mention what does come next, in this age of technology?
