1. In watching Dr. Bonk - there are so many tools that do the same thing... I found myself asking.. do we have too many things going on at once.. are there problems with overlap.. are we dividing our efforts? Will it get to the point that there are just too many things to use,and not different enough to make it worthwhile to learn?
I think that even though there are multiple websites based on the same information, nothing will ever be exactly the same. Different people will always have different views and ideas, therefore, the information will always be used in different ways. If websites do not change and grow, they will eventually die, but there will be another website that is able to keep up with the new information and technology, will continue to add members, and therefore thrive and grow. I think "natural selection" of the technology infrastructure will weed out the unhealthy so that the healthy websites will survive.
2. Dr. Bonk talked about how one person could make a difference and change the world. How might technology enable a teacher or a person in rural Oklahoma to impact others in the world. Make a suggestion and explain how it might have global impact? Is this realistic here?
I know that it is possible for someone in rural Oklahoma to impact others around the world, I just don't know how. As I watched Dr. Bonk present person after person that has made huge contributions to the information and technology age, I was very overwhelmed and humbled by the prospect that I will never be one of these contributors. I had never heard of most of the people or their products that he was talking about. I am hoping to leave my mark on the students in my classroom. I am planning on setting up a moodle page for all of my EOI test subjects, starting with Algebra I for this year. My contribution, hopefully, will be that my students will be able to graduate with a diploma.

As well as you, I was overwhelmed, but some of his ideas I took it. Since then I am being thinking what I can do, not necessarily you need to things in Big scale you can make a huge impact in the students and let them think outside the box, just remember to create this situation where they feel free to express and develop new ideas.
