Mr Dancealot- The central message in this video is that Mr. Dancealot does conduct class. The students come in day after day and he teaches but yet the students do not learn anything. He tries to show them how to do the different dance moves but none of the students are able to see the professors feet to know if they are doing the moves correct. I do not agree with the conclusion of this video or the way the final exam was given. Mr. Dancealot never gave the students a chance to try and see if they could do the different dances he had previously gone over in the class.
Teaching in the 21st Century- by Kevin Roberts.
Outline of some of the arguments Mr. Kevin Roberts is attempting to make.
1) Teaching could be a lot different in the future.
2) Teachers can instruct students in a lot of different ways in the 21st century by using new and improved resources.
3) By making students use their imagination and create things on their own.
4) Learning things that could actually be used in the workplace. To better their future.
5) Knowing the difference in entertaining people and keeping them engaged.
The Networked Student- Why does the networked student even need a teacher? By Wendy Dexler. That is very good question. Technology is continuously growing. There are many different opportunities out there on the web that can help in so many different ways for learning about different subjects. I believe as technology keeps growing before we know it more than half of all classes will be internet based classes.
Harness your Students’ Digital Smarts- by Vicki Davis. In Ms. Davis’ class her students are very technical savvy. They learn many things to do online that most high school students have no clue about. This will defiantly have them more prepared for college and the work field. I completely agree with her argument and only wish I could have had a teacher like her in high school to prepare me the way she prepares her students.
Flipping the Classroom- Flipping the classroom is new to me. I do however this technique could be very useful to me as a teacher. I can see this being used all over the world for many more subject than just math as used in the example video. This will save a lot of time and also give the students more one on one time that they miss out on otherwise.
I agree with you about more than half of classes being internet based. Isn't that crazy?! I still like to sit in a classroom and take notes from the teacher's demonstrations on the board.
ReplyDeleteFlipping the classroom is also new to me. I agree that this will save a lot of time in the classroom, and I will probably use this technique some when I become a teacher!
This was extremely brief, and I can tell you didn't proofread before publishing. You did not include links to the videos or a picture with alt/title modifiers. Both of those things are very important and necessary for every blog post!
