Why Wireless? Good question.

The article I choose to review and reflect on would be the “why wireless” article from the month of November, solely because that is my birth month. I found it very interesting that a high school would allow there internet to be wireless for the students’ personal devices. This is probably because I am one of the people asking “why”!? Why would you offer a link to further distraction to teenagers who are already wanting to be anywhere other than in the classroom anyhow. I am still skeptical of the whole thing. I know for a fact that if I were to of had my laptop in class that I would of not given it a second thought to see what was going on with my Facebook or my Myspace. I can say this because I do it to this day even though I am paying for school now.
The article, however, did give me another point of view. It allowed me to see that with the internet so readily available to students, if an unanswered question came about, it would be no problem to get in groups and get if figured out. I can understand the necessity of the internet that is coming more and more everyday. I know that teachers today, just like teachers before, do not have the answers to every question and having a tool that would basically eliminate that problem from ever occurring is wonderful. I firmly believed, though, that the only way to get the full potential of this idea would be to have some strict rules and maybe a couple site blockers. Which I am sure are already in progress.
