Double Entry Journal #2

This week we read the article "Web 2.0 and Emerging Learning Technologies/Learning Styles."
My quote from this article is:
"For example, the Suunto X6-HR is a powerful watch that has many functions inside it like “a heart-rate monitor with an altimeter in a slick package that's water-resistant for 100 meters” (CNET, n.d.)." (Smart watches and learning styles.)

I chose this quote because it began the articles decent to being a product placement ad.  I liked that the article was giving examples of what technology to use and reasons why to use it, but I did not agree with the 'buy-this-product' atmosphere it quickly picked up.  They sent entire paragraphs on why you should buy different products.  Thankfully they brought it back to the true subject matter.

I found another website with learning materials designed to help teachers integrate technology into their classroom, with diverse students in mind.
