This article is about how technology is changing the way classrooms operate and it is affecting the students and teachers. It goes into what educational technology is and what it is doing.
This article focuses on how ICT's (information and communication technologies) have transformed reading, writing, and education. Written communication has become less formal and the syntax and layout has changed. However, technology has enabled students to engage in "creative and collaborative communication." It has also enabled the practice of writing through everyday activities such as texting. The Internet, especially, and cell phones can be used to facilitate learning when incorporated creatively into the classroom.

This article deals with the idea of enhancing the ability to learn and comrehend teachers by using technological literacy. It includes teachers' responses on how they feel about technology in the classroom. It makes sense to expose a child to technology at a young age, because studies show that they will then be able to comprehend as opposed to later in life. However, not everyone agrees with this statement and the idea that technology should be able to be used in the classroom.

Issues of desire in music education are integral and anathema to the profession. Constituted of and by desire, we bodily engage music emotionally and cognitively; yet references to the body are limited to how it may be better managed in order to produce more satisfactory (desired) sounds, thus disciplining desire as we focus on the content of teaching (music) to the virtual exclusion of its subjects (students)-and our selves.

This article speaks about the reluctance there is to move forward with the times and adopt new technological innovations. This reluctance from teachers may be from the fact that they believe that Facebook is the same as email, just a way to communicate, and see no reason for change. The article also agrees with the counter in that educational institutions see Facebook as a way to communicate with their students, and do just that. They see it as a way to almost relate with their students and to keep them informed. It also talks about how big of an influence social networks and the Internet are in students lives and how beneficial it is to integrate it into learning in the classroom. The article addresses the ways colleges are using Facebook to connect.
