On my blog I’m going to start a weekly post with a song of the week. The song can be something inspiring or something that is just fun to dance to. I’m going to have the song as the first song on my little ipod music player on the sidebar of my blog.
This week’s song is Change by Taylor Swift. I chose this song because the first time that I listened to it I thought about it a lot. It is a song that I think really has a lot to do with what we are doing now with integrating technology with school. It really made me think of my Social Studies teacher Mr. B who is one of the only teachers that I know of around here, where I live, that is trying to do this. I don’t know if integrating technology is prominent in other countries, but it definitely isn’t here. See in this song it is really talking about restraining people from doing what they are capable of. I know that Mr. B had has a lot of problems with trying to do this, but I know that he is going to get there and like the song says, “These things will change, can feel it now. The walls that the put up to hold us back will fall down. It’s a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win.” Another part of the song that I feel is really real is when she says, ”So we’ve been out numbered, raided and now cornered. It’s hard to fight when the fight ain’t fair.” This part is so real because the people that run the education department feel that something horrible will happen to us if we come in contact with people out side of the four walls of our school, and it must be hard for him to fight with people that sign his paycheck. This is what I hope for in the future… ”Tonight we’ll stand and get off our knees, Fight for what we’ve worked for All these years The battle was long, It was the fight of our lives, But we’ll stand up, champions tonight It was the night things changed. Can you see it now? The walls that they put up To hold us back Fell down! It’s a revolution, Throw your hands up, ’Cause we never gave in”I honestly believe that this can happen and the Mr. B doesn’t want to do this for the recognition or the fame, but for us. Without us this can never happen so every blog post, every assignment that we do will help us get there, but with out him we have no way to get this to happen we need each other to make this happen.
This song has a real deep meaning, it can have different meanings for every one, this is what the song means to me. What does it mean to you?
