I chose my topic because it is a good basis on the future and what it hold. It can help one express your creativity using technology and being able to express how one sees what it important to a normal everyday society. Also it can help maybe other being to acknowledge what one person thinks is important compared to another. My topic of creating your own social network is a great opportunity to be able to show what is see through the eyes of our growing generation.

As i listen to this video, I didn't really understand what the purpose of it was the first time i listened to it. It spoke of many different things, but as i listened to it a 2nd time was when i understood the purpose and mean of it. His accent of one of the person made it hard for me to understand. I learned a few things, Wicked problems take creative solutions. Another thing is Teacher are the full designers. And finally is that pedagogy is another form for meaning of teaching.
