My connected world is fairly minimal compared to most. I only use the basic technology tools to listen to music, connect with family, and watch videos on. I find that the tools that I used are the ones that work best for me because I like to have a minimal of tools to have to check on daily and to continuously update, as I am not one that shares a whole lot on the internets or Facebook. 
I think that students in todays world are a lot more connected and have signed up for every possible social media site possible. I think that the more tools that the students are able to use the more learning that we as teachers can provide them. It allows for the opportunity for us as teachers to allow students to create amazing assignments using technology like never before and allows students to explore with that creativity. I think that students growing up in our technology driven world are more comfortable and do not think twice about posting something online because they feel like it will not harm them- I think that we as teachers need to take the tools that they are so vigorously engaged in and make sure that we are teaching them to be smart digital citizens and to make responsible choices!
