The world of media has taught me so much and that is where I took my first quote, "most of what I know about the world comes from media sources..." (Hobbs, pg 72). I am thankful for media(all forms) and all that it has given me in the form of knowledge. As I have grown up I have had to learn what media to trust and what not to- this is also a great responsibility that we must teach our students as well. This ties into the second quote, " learning to live responsibly when it comes to online communication is a process." (Hobbs, pg 138). One of the most powerful lessons we can teach our students is how powerful our words can be verbal and written.

"news about science and technology affects nearly every aspect of our lives..." (Hobbs, pg 153). As new discoveries are made and technology is developed it does impact all that we do and will do.

Learning new methods of teaching when you are so busy teaching is almost impossible. It is important to take the time and learn new ways as often as you can.

But the most important aspect of any type of teaching is guiding and allowing a student to find their voice in this big world. Giving them the tools and knowledge so that they are able to make wise decisions and make a difference in the world that will soon be theirs.
