Did you Know?

This short presentation was a way to share with its audience the importance of technology today. Technology plays a role not only in the US, but also in our neighboring countries. The information at hand is a way to help strengthen awareness in all countries so that learning can persist to increase. Technology is and will persist to have an impact on the world. Statics prove that everyday life and its overall prosperity are effected by technology.

                My view on the video and its message is a positive and knowledge grown. Even though it is right in front of us, we never stop to take in the way that technology plays a role in our life. Seeing the facts causes me to site and ponder on what life would be like without our mass use of technology. Jobs, families, and businesses would possibly be obsolete. Now I have to stop and think, how much do I know?

 

                Mr. Winkle Wakes

                It took a couple of views before I could really bring forth the content necessary for what I wanted to say. The information in this piece was a wake up for the school systems. Many schools are not utilizing their assets the way society is as a whole. We are teaching students but not using the number one thing that they need, Technology.

                I feel that it is true what Mr. Winkle is so sarcastically stating, we are outdated in the schools. How can we prepare our students for success if they are not being taught with the tools that they will use in the real world. We as future teachers need to wake up and smell technology!

 

Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity

          In this presentation, Mr. Robinson expresses a needed for a more direct approach to the arts and its nonconductive use in the school system. Starting a young age, most children are unknowingly separated from natural creativity. This is a cry for improvement in that field.

            I share a weakness for the topic at hand. I feel that this was done by teachers in the past causing an unknown cycle to persist. Children are prohibited from expressive learning, therefore causing a structured learning environment. Those children have grown up to be our teachers, where as they are not familiar with creativity or do not like it. This cycle can be and will be stopped only if the correct tools are placed forth.

3. Vicki Davis: Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts

            Watching this video gives me as a future teacher new ideas and hopes for what can go on in a classroom. When students are excited about school most would fill that learning is not taking place, but that is the exact opposite in Vicki Davis’ class.

            I feel that in this video there are many things that teachers can learn. One thing that is not as frequent as it should be is the creative chance that the children can have. Another thing is the openness that is displayed by both the teacher and the learner. Most traditional classrooms are based on a one-way street, but now anyone can learn and anyone can teach.
