Address to Did You Know? 3.0 - A John Strange 2012 Version The video by Dr. Strange using the information from the, did you know serious, Gary Hayes Social Media Counts, and by the Kaiser Family Foundation Study Generation M2: Media in the lives of 8 to 18 Year-Old, January 2010. I found this video very interesting and a little disturbing. The fact that I heard from numerous sources that many people don’t have computers in their home and for that reason many don’t have access to the internet. While watching the video to read that two years ago a percentage of 93 kids between the ages of 8-18 had computers in their home blew me away.

Address to Did You Know? 3.0 - A John Strange 2012 Version The video by Dr. Strange using the information from the, did you know serious, Gary Hayes Social Media Counts, and by the Kaiser Family Foundation Study Generation M2: Media in the lives of 8 to 18 Year-Old, January 2010. I found this video very interesting and a little disturbing. The fact that I heard from numerous sources that many people don’t have computers in their home and for that reason many don’t have access to the internet. While watching the video to read that two years ago a percentage of 93 kids between the ages of 8-18 had computers in their home blew me away. The truth being that just because you hear it doesn’t make it true that just because you have information doesn’t make it accurate information.
The number of videos watched on YouTube in the course of a minute was very shocking. Personally I really am not a YouTube fan, but while reading the information on YouTube and watching the video I realized that in the course of a minute I was one making up the sum of 1,097,220 people watching the same minute I was. 1,393, 519 in this same minute did a search on Google. Being a big user of Google I did not find this shocking. As it went to the next slide 11,453,577 sms messages were being sent worldwide. I always knew that computers and phones were used a lot but to actually have it put in numbers is something different to rap your mind around, Also knowing that your either making this number or adding to it helps you see yourself in this group of individuals making huge numbers by using such a simple tool.
Mr. Winkel Wakes, at first I wonder how I was
going to write to paragraphs on something so simple that took 2:31 seconds. But then I realized that
was it, something so simple expressed in a simple way, making a point in my
case that my teacher stress so often when were in class. That the classroom is
not supposed to be places where you do something call “Burp Back Education” Dr
Strang. The video showed us a possible ongoing way of life in our educational
system that we sit get fed and then give it back. That how we can let everything
else advance and get better and not adjust our teaching method.
What would be the reason for schools if you weren’t taught what you needed for the outside world but when you get there you have to learn new techniques and undo a 12 year period of learning wrong, or better an old way of learning! That we are following a tradition of teaching that for the time when it was relevant to the times was the best method. But now that times have changed the methods of How, Why, and for what reason we’re teaching should change also. The purpose of school is to prepare the students to enter into the world as a proactive and successful member of society. This is also the objective of any teacher that does not wish to see their students fail as a member of society.
Sir Ken Robinson: The
Importance of Creativity: I just want to scream ken Robinson, ken Robinson, I can
honestly say that I enjoyed this video to the fullest. I believe Mr. Robinson
was amazing, the words that he said I or correct. We have been brought up to
fear being wrong. While watching this video I begin to think of myself which I realize
that I have had many times where I have feared being wrong so I did not say
anything. That as I grew I was thought that if I don’t know not to answer and
this is one thing he words proved in this video.
The things he said I heard myself, don’t do music you want get a job, don’t do music because you want make money. Knowing that I stirred away from music and went to something more that I would likely get a job and make money. I liked something he said was that “intelligence is distinct “many people experience bright ideas in different ways. Just because one person learns different and express themselves differently doesn’t mean that there not important. It means that a different technique is needed to help bring out the inner ability to express ones intellectual needs.
The Future, Mr. Winkle video showed
us a future. A future that is very much possible from what we are doing now. A
future that is making itself a strong part of the future made of glass. The video
a Day made of glass is a future that shows a bright technological future where
the student is an incline user. Now the reason I say that Mr. Winkle video is a
strong part of a possible future is because, technology will not wait just
because a part of a generation doesn’t know how to use it. The advancement is
possible but the people must meet the requirements.
I believe that if our methods of teaching remain at an industrial method we will not meet the criteria that the future is calling for; to produce the more qualified teachers. The technology is not a person no matter how much it can do it still need to be controlled, used, and furthermore directed in use. To have a day made of glass would be an enormous benefactor to our future children and students. If we were to make the right steps toward a more advanced way of living, teaching and learning the possibility of the day made of glass would become a proactive and accessible way of life to everyone.

Lamarsio,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that you found Sir Robinson's talk so inspiring. He's a really cool guy. However, I have a few things to point out to you that you might want to address for your next post. You need to have an image with the ALT and TITLE modifiers for every post. You also need to include the clickable links to the videos you are talking about. This is so anyone who hasn't seen the videos can click on the links and see them for themselves. I would like you to write your blog posts in a Microsoft Word document to catch any spelling or sentence errors.
Hey Lamarsio McKeller,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your views on the blog post from last Sunday. The viewpoints that I greatly agree with were your statements on YouTube, Google, and Ken Robinson’s speech. The number of YouTube videos watched were shocking to me also because I know there are many other sites that you can watch videos so the number was quite shocking. The amount of Google searches done in a minute; however, was not that shocking because people today use Google for almost everything, many people have Google as their homepage on their computer and its also used for driving directions. The statement that you had on Ken Robinson’s speech about there are different techniques needed to bring out a person’s intellectual needs was exactly the same view that I had because people are always going to be unique in their own way. However, some parts of this post were hard to understand but I think if you use spell check you would eliminate minor errors in grammar, mechanics, sentence structure, spelling errors, and getting your point across. Overall, this was a very interesting post.
Thanks, Giorgio
