21st century english classroom

    My feelings of the 21st century english classroom are normal.  They are only normal because i have grown up with all of these things such as facebook, twitter, blogging, the internet as a whole, and cell phones as well.  The funny thing about this blog is that its asking us to describe what we think of as normal, but for you, its the opposite because most of this stuff is new. Because you didnt grow up with this crazy technology, the english classroom of the 21st century is much different than before.
    I have already talked about my feelings on blogging so i will start with facebook and twitter.  In the english classroom, facebook and twitter make it really easy to, not only communicate faster, but to obtain information quicker.  People can tweet their feelings about a book or something from class and someone at the same time could post a whole section of a book on facebook or start a group that follows stuff that relates to english.  I use facebook quite often to check what is going on with friends and stuff and there is no doubt that it influences school as well.  I dont have a twitter yet, but i dont really plan on getting one unless i am required to because i dont seem to have a lot of time.  Cell phones are also a huge part of the 21st century english class.  For example, the coolest thing about them is that they are so easy to use.  More specifically, even you, Mrs. Hayes, use it in class.  I think that it is pretty awesome that every time one of us updates their blogs you get an e-mail.  That just makes your job as a teacher easier, which therefore makes the 21st century english class even more fun.
