I think emerging technology has advanced PLN. At the same time, I am curious if online teaching can completely replace offline teaching. In the past year, most students took classes online, whether voluntarily or not. Due to the time zone difference, many teachers post their teaching videos online. In my personal experience, I started out unfamiliar with the system and have come to prefer online classes. Depending on my schedule, I can always learn from the Internet. Compared to offline classes, online classes are convenient and flexible. Software similar to blog is even more known, and bloggers share everything from dressing to academic knowledge . More and more professionals are joining the sharing community. Due to the wide spread of the Internet, emerging technologies will change the traditional teaching profession. I think there will be some faculty members who will lose their jobs. Facing the trend of emerging technology, it is a problem how to arrange the re-employment of career employees.

WoW:

After I watched #tresdancing, it shocked and scared me. At the beginning of the film, Frankie was disqualified from the exam due to her environment. It resulted in Frankie having to re-study for a year. According to Frankie’s feedback, the surveillance system needs to be more and more personalized and enhanced. The glasses in the film brought new ideas to me. Frankie shows how the glasses can be used in a variety of ways: 1. to enhance learning, 2. to protect the community, and 3. to report violations.

Wonder:

With the glasses on, all of Frankie’s actions are monitored and recorded. Although she can choose to take off the glasses, it still makes me feel the fear of being monitored. At the end of the film, Frankie chooses her friend between finishing her education and her friend. We cannot blame a young child for choosing her friends, but they committed an illegal act.
