WEEK 2 HUMAN AFTER ALL.

After check, compare and try some of the searching tools reviewed and recommended, I wonder:

Is all of this so necessary?  I mean when I learned English (several years ago) I learned using traditional methods,  a classic teacher and some kiddos struggling and trashing our notebooks and books  to learn some ,  I am not against of course but, that’s how I learned on that times the most technological aid for the teacher was a TV. Set and a VCR  player!! And now we’re so plenty of information, like the one we get from this course, I was reading in some one’s post that on her school they’re trying  to let behind the traditionalism to follow the tech method to teach.

I just want to make a point here, again I am not against all this ,(welcome all the possible help to motivate our students) and I know that we’re preparing this generations to deal all of his life with the technology, but precisely that’s why I never forget how I learn, what was the context, how I did and how my teachers made to  praise us to follow, to never give up. But really, how many times you carry your lap, tablet, BB or whatever gadget you want and spend a whole evening just updating, checking, answering, and forwarding messages, e-mails, or just “updating your profile?
And how many of those were really productive? This just made me think about how to process all the info we have access via web, in the pre-electronic era we use to measure the info in pages, (a book commonly, a journal etc.)  now, the measure is a giga a mega and follow as you want,  and sometimes we got the info as soon as it is created (good thing) but sometimes is really annoying to surf  into all that to get the real good stuff, because the easy way to create and share  is now making that the web goes full of …. Bad info. So yes this kind of info and this sites are pretty cool to make our searches easier and more accurate, machines are here to make our life easier, but we are human after all.
