I enjoyed how this article was different than a typical article about education. The slides were helpful to understand the different parts of the article as opposed to a traditional article. Another point that I felt was interesting was the slide “Years to reach an audience of 50 Million”. I realize that Facebook and the Apple iPod were recently added but I never realized that it only took 2 and 3 years respectfully for them to reach an audience of 50 million. I agree that communication, reflection, collaboration, community, creative tools, and amplification are all a part of essential learning components. I feel students should feel comfortable using the previous components in order to learn. Students could also use wikis or blogs to post their reflections and to collaborate with their fellow students and teachers. Students can also use education social media sites such as Edmodo as a way to collaborate with their fellow students and teachers.
