I would have my high school students, in my history class, to use a couple different forms of technology. I would assign them a presentation to present to the class. I would have them use the internet to research their topic and also get more ideas about how to narrow their topics down. I would have them use the internet databases to do more research. I would have them use Microsoft Power Point to actually present their topics with. I would have them make a minimum of 10 minutes to present and use many slides, pictures, and effects.

If I was a computer teacher or if I had to supervise my high school students in a computer lab, I would be very concerned that they would be misusing the internet for the wrong reasons and look up things that they aren't supposed to be looking up. Also, I would just be afraid that they would just get off track and surf the internet, get on facebook, or youtube videos.

I think that the Apple Popcorn by Roxio program looks pretty cool. I think that it would be good to use because I could tivo programs or certain things that I think my students should see and then I can transfer to video so that it can be seen in the classroom. I think that it is a great idea to use just in general in one's home as well.
