The universe is full of ideas that belong to no one. I watched This is how we dream Part 1&2. These videos were about changing the way we view things on the internet. He talked about changing the way we learn things online. For instance he said peple view normal recorded, boring lectures. He wants to make them nice and add audioto pages.
They mad a black history segment recently and had multiple pages that had videos, informationa as well as audio to keep you interested and have a great information flow. I believe that producing and consuming multimedia is important for teachers because it can expand the amount of knowlegde we can retain as well as keep us entertained and the children happy.
I also watched EDM310 for dummies. I thought this video was really funny because I know alot of people who actually get like this. I get mad but id never break my computer because then what are you going to do when you cool off. I do plan on making videos soon. Not for school though. For now im going to make kidney videos to try and show what im having to go through in hopes of bringing awareness and hopefully finding a donor for myself and others. When I start teaching in the classroom im sure ill make videos for the children to watch and film them as well for them to learn new things in different ways.
I watched the video Learn to change, change to learn. I think that this is a great way of talking about what we should start doing in ours schools. The children today are learning in more than one way. They are hands on. Hands on technologically and hands on in the museums and libraries. There are many ways a child can be educated, whey not do it in a way they want to? They will be more excited about learning and will expand their minds into different ways of larning new things.
The surprising thing about what motivates you and Power of time. were both good videos. One was about people who focuse on the past and regret. They are called past positive and past negative. some believe their lives are already fated but most of us are future oriented. We trust that when we make descisions about our future that it will work out.
The surprising truth about what motivates us is a great video. I love how they let people do whatever they wanted for 24 hours and they came out with new exciting things and fixed multiple problems. They just gave employees freedom and they expanded theyre minds and companies ideas and they didnt even have to be paid and extra incentive to do it. The incentive was to have autonmy. To be able to make their own choices and do the things they wanted to do the way they wanted to do them. FREEDOM.
Hi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteIn your comment on "This Is How We Dream" you wrote that teachers need to produce and consume multimedia. This is a great point. We certainly need to stay up to date in our field and continue to learn and develop our teaching. We also need to keep up with how our students are communicating so that we can reach out to them in ways that they are comfortable with.
I also liked the point you made about the "Learn to Change, Change to Learn" video, that if we teach students in ways that get their attention they will be more open to learning new things and become curious about their world. I think teaching our students to love learning and nurturing their creativity is one of our most important jobs.
Great post!
