I use technology every day for fun and for school. Some technology that could overlap those categories are my cell phone, computer, and tablet device and such because they all deal with communication which is important especially if your doing school work and need to ask your teacher or your peers for help on understanding or doing projects or assignments. I use email, texts, social networking sites, and many other things to talk to my friends already, why not be able to talk to my teachers as well.
In the flat classroom project, we are using the 21st century skills that promote responsibility for you and your group to be timely and responsible. More than one person is depending on you and encouraging you to do your duty and do quality work so the group can get a good grade. It also promotes creativity because you and your group need to work together to solve problems that come up and write and essay together. You have to overcome any obstacles that stand in your way, together.
The best part about all of this communication and collaboration is that the experience is preparing me for my future because no matter what job field I go into I will most definitely need to communicate with my colleges and use technology to do so. It will be helpful having the experience of learning new technology so I will be better able to do so in the future. Learning to communicate with new technology is a life long skill that I will use as an adult and for the rest of my life.
Another thing that will help me in the future is that fact that I, and others in my generation, expect fast response times and in turn, give fast responses. This most definitively speeds communication and allows for more work to be done faster as if everyone was in the same room. If i take that into consideration when I post things or add to something and check the cite or place I posted it more often to see if someone replied, we can get more done and have a better overall project.
