The Dr. Seuss video was a great example of how we as humans are stubborn and set in our ways. We are not susceptible to change, we don't like change. It is easy to do the same thing you always do because you are used to it. it is the same concept with technology. My generation and generations after mine are the technological generations. We have only been given a preview of what is to come. The Landslide video, with the chorus, had to be my favorite video so far. I am really into music and have been in numerous choirs so it was so refreshing to see this chorus line make a video and share it with the world.
To answer the question why is it inmortant for students to post their work to blogs, it allowes people like Mr. Chamberlain to reach other people around the glob. Click here for Kaia's video. It also allows students like me to contact teachers from anywhere! Comments4teachers is a great way to see how technology is advancing in the classrooms almost daily. Click here for comments4teachers. Another source we use is comments4classmates. This allowes not only my class but all the other classes to read each others blogs.

I agree with what you said we only have seen a preview of what has to come. We have a lot of great technology now, but there is much more and better things for us to have in the future!
