To me this is what I like to use and use consistently. All of these are both websites as well as apps for my iPhone and iPad. I tend to always have my phone on me and use the apps more than double the time of the websites. It is just easy and convenient for me. I like the power that google can give me. They connect many of their apps together with one username and password which is awesome.
Here is what I think represents the student currently with the use of devices and technology. I tend to use some of the things and devices these student's use because of closeness in age. I think students are easily adaptable to new technology which is a good thing. The bad thing is there is that much more to distract them from their studies and being physically active. I hope the 21st century student will continue to learn and grow with technology but hope they don't forget the basics to which got us to this point.
Rod I like how you incorporated how they communicate in the 21st student PLN. There are all these avenues they use to communicate with someone and something like snap chat takes 20 seconds. It is definitely something we need to take into consideration as teachers.
