The whole purpose is to make it meaningful and that means the students have to be able to relate to it. That is done through computers. Unfotunalty there are limits as to how much you use when opening up the internet and cell phones things can happen so one must be careful. But the more interesting and inspiring the lesson the better it is! With studnets today that means technology.

I am now trying to incorporate technology into my math classes. I quess though I better pay closer attention. I do not know what podcasts are. This was a very informative video.

I do think it should be introduced but not dependent on. There is such a gap in are education system and the fact that schools have different budgets, leaves a technology gap.

I agree that our students our more technologicly advanced than ever before. I also agree that teachers need to take advantage of this to better support our students learning.

Teachers are trying to find ways to reach students through technology and the main source is right in our face. The whole text message game was pretty cool but I dont think that every student owns a phone but the thought was good. Overall, the video just asked some questions that you would never stop to think about. Again, it was very interesting. I think that this is so interesting.

As an educator you should be capitalizing on students strengths and if computers, Ipods, and cell phones are important to them, then we should use those modes to get our point across. Seeing computers, cell phones and Ipods as tools not hinderances is the first step. I loved this video and think it really makes you think!

We are not giving up on these horses though– KEEP CALLING YOUR SENATORS and CONGRESS PEOPLE, All MEDIA OUTLETS and tell your friends– this is another treasure being destroyed if we can’t stop this unneccessary, callous and massive roundup. We will do our best to keep you updated- the round up is scheduled to begin tomorrow, Thursday Sept. 3 and over the next few days or week the BLM plans to remove over 70 horses– from older mares and stallions to young foals. Don’t give up. Who Has Been Hired to Round Up Cloud’s Herd? Wednesday, 02 September 2009 14:28 Dave Cattoor is a contractor hired by the BLM to perform wild horse round-ups. He and his wife and son run a business largely funded by the American taxpayer to harass and remove wild horses and burros. He was indicted by a federal grand jury and pled guilty to illegally hunting wild horses, aiding and abetting in 1992. He rounded up protected American mustangs, corralled into pens, loaded them into trucks, and hauled them to a slaughter house in Texas where they lost their lives. It was government theft and animal abuse. Among wild horse and burro advocates, he has a reputation of being cruel and inhumane. Photographs of newborn foals run to exhaustion, found hog tied on the range, horses and burros bleeding from their nostrils, broken legs and injured during exhausting gallops to captured pens are displayed on many wild horse and burro web sites. He is currently being investigated by the Department of Interior Inspector General for procurement fraud. It is known from federal contracting web sites that he has earned 13 million dollars since 2000 for which records are available. It is believed he has earned more than 21 million dollars since his conviction. Both he and his wife spoke separately before the Wild Horse and Advisory Board in 2009 and advocated for the continued use of helicopter round ups in an attempt to influence the boards recommendation to continue their lucrative contracting business. Federal law prohibits the use of contractors that have been convicted of a crime. Generally, a indictment would eliminate a contractor from consideration. However, Mr. Cattoor has been rewarded and made a millionaire many times over by the BLM despite the public outrage. Fully knowing the public’s concern about Mr. Dave Cattoor ‘s inhumane practices, the BLM Billings, Montana office have denied humane groups request to placed humane observers on the ground with full access during the Pryor round to ensure animals are treated humanely. Wild horses advocates have advised the BLM Billlings office as well as BLM officials in Washington DC that foals only day old and heavily pregnant mares are among those the contractor plans to run long distances for captured.
