Video on middle shool news cast

The video we watched in ED 483 in class showed middle schoolers using technology in the school. They were creating a news cast that would be shown to the school. The students used a video camera, a digital camera, and the computer for word processing, internet and video editing. This video is almost 10 years old, so its quite outdated. Students in the video could not even type, they used just one finger. Also, the teacher was not even present; students were teaching their peers about the technology.
Students today are much more proficient in technology than the students in this video. Kids today use echnology all the time; they have their own cell phones, laptops, PSPs, and iPods. Thay can type and text will ease. When I was in middle school in the 90s, I didn't even know how to turn on a computer. However, now that technology is integrated into our everyday life, we are forced to learn it. This video shows how much technology has progressed just in the past decade.
