Video Clip -> FutureLearning Documentary 2012
We have to consider the NEXT GENERATION who is the FUTURE! To arm it with the relevant, timeless skills for our rapidly changing world, we need to revolutionize what it means to learn.
This clip shows about how technology plays a significant role in education. In this video, some educators mentions the function of technology like computer in our learning. They are redefining how we engage young minds for a creatively and technologically-advanced future. For example, one thing I was impressed is that, according to Seth Weinberger, we need to connect a computer to classroom itself. The goal of this is that teachers do more higher order things and let the computers do more basic thing like all the practice.
Through watching this clip, I think that technology can teach us many great things and this will definitely influence on our learning environment as well as life styles.
Hi Erin. I like this video very much! One thing that touch me the most is the motivation. How we can motivate the kids to explore the world is more important than what we teach them. Besides using new technology is not only about using but also innovating. We need to help students to find out the ways that are really suitable for them. As long as they figure out how to use these technological tools, they can explore whatever they want to know.
ReplyDeleteSometimes deciding what "relevant" skills" we need to teach are is difficult. However, if we motivate students to become life-long learners, they can continually update their skills. Perhaps the most important skill we can teach them is to be critical thinkers so that they can not only find but evaluate the truth and value of information they find on the internet.
ReplyDeleteI like the video too. Actually it was the one I commented on. You are inspired by how computer can be used in teaching and I am inspired by why computer should be used. I think we both learned a lot from the short video.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
From this video clip, I also realized that it is important for teachers to combine technology with their teaching. As you mentioned, through connecting computers with classroom, teachers would save more time to do more higher order things. I totally agree with you on this idea since I think one goal of using technology is to better serve our learning and working.
