Today in class we got to use the iMac computers. These computers are great for making videos and everday use. I like the fact that they are so small and compact and light in weight a little better than your average laptop. They are very high tech and fully loaded.
Using the iMac to do the Digital Video Project is going to be an experience like no other. I have never had to do anything like this before. I think that this will have many benefits to me in the future. For one, learning how to make video's is something that I can incorperate into my future classroom. I could have my students make a class video at the beginning and end of each school year to see how they have grown and matured through out the year. Another use could be as a way of presenting material to my students in a different way other than straight leture and PowerPoint.
I have a feeling that iMacs are going to become the computer of the future, more than just the computers we use in class.

I am one who is slow to change when it comes to technology; I like to find something and stick with it. I don't think I would be ready to use those Imacs. I like my regular (what the name is for that, I don't know) computer. All this "i" stuff, iMac, iPod, I think those things are cool, but I need to master one thing before I go onto another. I hope this doesn't become the computer of the future. When I used it in the classroom, I was confused, and I would rather stick with what I have for now. Would you rather learn to use iMac or stick with what you already know?
I also think that the imac's are pretty neat. I really like your idea about having a beginning and end of the year video. That's a cute idea. I think it will benefit our future in some way. Knowing how to use the technology is the first step to getting it into the classroom.
