I enjoyed both videos very much. In "A Seamless Integration of Technology" I really liked the idea of having computers for the students when they need them. Having that open technology in the classrooms or in a computer lab near by is a great idea. If they need to work on an assignment that requires internet research, they have the resources to go about getting the assignment done, while in school. It is also good to see that they are all so comfortable with using the technology such as scanners and the internet. I hope that when I start teaching that I can incorporate technology into my class and have my students be as comfortable with it as those children in the video. I also want to be able to use concept maps to help my students brainstorm in a more effective way, in my opinion.
    I think that by using a "hands on" method, the students in any classroom would gain more of an understanding of the lesson being taught to them. Personally, I am a very visual person and I learn better when I get to be interactive with what I am being taught. I think that Garder's idea of the students being active is a wonderful idea. When the students can be "hands on" the information stays with them for a much longer amount of time. I also hope to be able to use this method in my classroom.
