Reflection 2: CDK's Education Technology Place

I find the webpage CDK's Education Technology Place to be very helpful. There are links to the College of Education homepage, K-State homepage and there are many interesting videos to watch. The navigation through the site is easy as pie. Everything is very clear and easy to understanding. Getting lost and confused is practically impossible. 

Reflection 1: Technology Bits, Bytes & Nibbles

For my articles I read Tennessee School Requires iPad For Class and Angry Birds Valentine’s Edition. I found that it was very interesting that the school is using iPads in place of computers. I find this article to be a great idea. Giving the students a way to always be connected to their school in a way that they find interesting is a great tool to have. However, with reading both of these articles I started to wonder how the teachers are going to be able to stop the students from downloading apps, like Angry Birds, to their iPad instead of working on assignments. I wonder if there is a way to block the app store since it is already programmed on the iPad. With that being said, I still find this requirement to be a new and exciting way to learn. I would have loved to have the opportunity to learn with this type of technology when I was younger. I believe that this is a learning device and I would use this is further my education opportunities in the classroom.
