Did You Know? 3.0
This video was very informative on how fast technology is growing today. It made several comments that were amazing. And just think this video was made two years ago. I would love to see some of those numbers now and see how much they have grown.
With technology growing at such a fast rate it is important that future educators stay up to date with the ever-changing technology because our students are going to be very interested in this and will probably affect what jobs and professions they will pursue.

This video was a humorous way to state a serious problem with today's education system. The world is changing rapidly, and the education system is not keeping up with the rest of the world. With today's technology there are countless ways to learn that students in the past did not get the opportunity to use and wish they did.
With all of this new technology future teachers should use every resource that this new technology has to offer for the education of students. Computers should be used in every facet of education, not just in one or two classes. Using the technology should be a priority it teaching future students.
Sir Ken Robinson: The Importance of Creativity
I believed that this was an awesome speech about how and were today's current education system has faults and needs to change. I believe that school systems are not helping students be as creative as they should or could be. Sir Ken Robinson said that we are educationing our kids out of their creativity.
I also liked what he said that all kids have talents and intelligences. Just because they are not intrigued or talented in a certain area does not make them any less smart than the next kid. I just means that they are different and learn different. Also with the way that technology is growing, it is our jobs to prepare them for an uncertain future.
Vicki Davis: Harness Your Students Digital Smarts
I believe that Vicki Davis's class is really paving the way for the future in the class room. In her class students are learning by using this modern technology. By using this modern technology the students appeared to be very interested and willing to adventure and learn.
I believe that every high school should have a class like this one where students learn how to use modern technologies by using them hands on. I believe that it benefits the students and prepares them for future jobs. Also they can use them in their personal lives and teach their parents how to use them.

Carl,
ReplyDeleteYou bring up a good point. "Computers should be used in every facet of education, not just in one or two classes. Using the technology should be a priority it teaching future students."
Interestingly, The College of Education is going to make it mandatory for students to bring their own laptops to school and all classes are going to have to incorporate them into their lessons. Do you have any ideas how we can use the computer as a true tool rather than just an electronic pencil and paper substitute?
