I feel that media has very much influenced myself. When I was little I used to read constantly I think reading helped my vocabulary and helped me gain perspectives through other peoples view points. I feel as a a student working to become a teacher reading has greatly influenced me. By reading I learn new teaching strategies, history of education, and classrooms stories. All of which help me grow as a teacher.
The Internet has very much influenced me. With my iPhone I can look up anything, anywhere. I can pay my rent on my phone, access my bank accounts, keep track of my running. I feel that as technology progresses the tedious things of the past will become easier. In the schools technology is benefiting the classroom and helping children in a new way. I strongly believe literacy still needs to be pushed in schools but technology needs to be embraced for the benefits it provides.
For my personal life I believe the media improves my knowledge and helps me grow. I think media is easy access to news and information that we shouldn't take for granted. Media is something that can help expand student's minds in the classroom. Using books, television, or the Internet we are able to learn about many different cultures and see them better then we ever have been able to in the past.
Personally I feel with media influences it is important to be the judge of stories being true or false. I think it is the individuals responsibility not to believe everything they see but to analyze and figure out what point of view they stand on.
I'm excited to see where media influences take us in the future and hope that we will all continue to benefit from it.
