adversity

Luis is a prime example of a child who is very understanding as to what needs to be done. What i mean is that in the video, he is taking on so many tasks already from having to get his brother up for school and bring him home to helping his mother with the cooking. He is giving his time to the community and trying to make a better environment. He is making a difference in the lives of others which is is a large task for a young man who is about to become the first in his family to attend college. His devotion to helping others proves that he has a natural ability to lead. It is up to the teachers to find that spark, that niche, that dream, in as many children that we possibly can. It is clear that the teachers there in Corneleus, Oregon were able to find the one that will hopefully lead Luis to a bright future.






Nafiza story

Nafiza shows that she is a child who can use technology as her means of life. She shows that she has an interest in the subject so now is the time to continue pushing her into new material to show her and give her every opportunity to succeed in life. I think this is a good example Nafiza sets, and others should follow. She has demonstrated the ability to lead and teach others which is a definite benefit.





little man

The story of Cameron was pretty cool. It was really neat to see how he was able to help teachers with some of the presentations that were given. He was able to create a small tv media to the school. Technology has definitely offered people the opportunity to expand to basically live in their own virtual world. He has demonstrated his ability to financially support his way through not only a summer job but what will soon to be your next possible CEO, movie director, or doctor. The child has every possible way to go in life, and I say let him run with it. Extremely bright child.


were not in old times anymore toto

After watching the video on wizard of apps, I was impressed to see all the tools available for people to use. I thought it was rather clever and witty to see the songs to the wizard of oz were changed to fit into the technology world. The parody was great. It is amazing to see how so many things that were once deemed out of reach or to far to grasp are now right at our fingertips. We can virtually visit any part of the world with the click of a button. Being able to use flicker or PPL or voice thread, it has given people the opportunity to do things that weren't easily accessible.
