While reading through the article, Mob Rules (The Law of Fives), I couldn’t help but think of how far we have come with technology.  I remember being in middle school and not even knowing what a cell phone was.  Cell phones weren’t near as convienient as they are nowadays.  Even when the computer came out, there weren’t very many people that could afford to have one.  Nonetheless, as technology has improved, a cell phone and a computer are much more easy to purchase now than they were in the very beginning.

When thinking of the relation to education, the article mentioned that “we are the network.”  We create a network of learners in the classroom.  In the same way, their education doesn’t have to be limited to the classroom–with the use of technology we can expand the learning environment and it can include opportunities around the world.  Likewise, as technology enhances there are more learning tools that become available in the classroom.
