Blog 2 Did You Know?

Did You Know? 
In the video "Did You Know?" by Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod, they are stating that technique is very important. In the future mostly everything you do will have to be done using your phone, TV, or computer. He states that "India has more honor kids and America has kids".
They also states that, "We are currently preparing students for jobs that don't yet exist..." I agree about student learning material that's not going to be helpful in the future. For example, with me becoming a Elementary teacher, they are making us learn formulas and information that you will not use to teach elementary children. Technology changes every year, information change, and new things are being invented, which fall into him saying "In order to solve problems, we don't even know are problems yet". His main point  is everyone is using the internet to do things.

Mr. Winkle Wake
In this video Mr. Winkle is from a time where everyone did not use machines for everything. He is saying that  he is not used to computers doing things like printing out pictures and businesses communicating over the internet. Mr. Winkle is realizing that this is a different time in life and things are changing over time. When he visit the hospital he noticed that some things have changed. People being kept alive on breathing machines was a big surprised to him.
But something does look familiar to him when he walk inside of the school. He saw that teacher were actually standing up in front of the classroom lecturing the class while the students take notes. Today society, everything is being taught on computers.

Important of Creativity
According to Ken Robinson, everyone has a interesting education. Children who graduate in 2006 will retire in 2065 but nobody has a clue. Creativity is very important in education. Robinson tells a story about a little girl who was in class drawing a picture and the teacher asked the girl what was she drawing. The girl answered, "A picture of God". The teacher said that nobody knows what God looks like and the little girl said they will in a minute. I believe that creativity goes along way and if you believe that you can do it, then you will succeed. Robinson uses comedy as a way to get his audience attention about education. He uses jokes as a attention grabber to get his point across. Children will take chances and are not afraid to be wrong. Robinson states that, "You don't grow into creativity, you grow out of it".
He also talks about William Shakespeare. He makes a comparison about how math and dancing are important but some people don't treat dancing like it is. Our education is based on academics. Robinson challenges the way we're educating our children. He also states that there are three kinds of intelligence, diverse, dynamics, and distinct. Robinson tells a story about a girl who couldn't stay still and people thought that she was sick. They discovered that she was not sick but she was a dancer and she had to move around in order to think. The task is to educated their whole being.

A Day Made of Glass 2
In this video it's showing how everything is made out of glass and touchscreen. The author is implying that technique is a huge deal. In the beginning of this video they show a girl waking up and using a glass touchscreen device to pick out what she is going to wear. When it is time for them to go to car, they can change the color of the dashboard in the car with just an device.
The device that they use is like a mini glass thin computer, something like a nook or kindle. They use this device in class and instead of the teacher writing on the board, the board is made of this glass touchscreen device. They use this device as a teaching method, helping students mix colors together with just one touch. I think the author is trying to make a point that everything in this whole will be computerize and easy to use with one touch. He wants you to imagine what it would be like if everything was touchscreen and easy to operate. I thought the idea of having everything being touchscreen was cool but it will take some time getting use too. Mr. Winkle would really have a hard time adjusting the this new device on the count that he didn't like the way things were operating by machines.

  1. Shannon,

    Your blog is very well written. You did great with the links to the videos, I could not get my videos to link to my blog! All of your headings are bold and separated when needed. The titles are bold like they are supposed to be. Your sections each have two paragraphs like they were supposed to and you completed the assignment on time. Everything looks great on here . I like how you have changed your layout and background to personalize your blog. I noticed that you quoted pieces of the video in the correct format also ! Great blog!

  3. "...when he walk inside of the school. He saw that teacher were actually standing up in front of the classroom lecturing the class while the students take notes." when he walks not walk; He saw a teacher standing up... not what you have written.

    "Today society, everything is being taught on computers." I think you mean In today's society everything is being taught on computers. I would disagree with that conclusion, however. There is still a lot of lecturing and memorizing going on!

    "...has a interesting education." an instead of a

    "...but nobody has a clue." Nobody has a clue about what? You do not tell us.

    "The task is to educated their whole being." educate not educated

    "...with just an device." a not an

    "...everything in this whole will be computerize and easy to use..." Did you leave out world after whole? computerized not computerize

    "..having everything being touchscreen was cool but it will take some time getting use too. Mr. Winkle would really have a hard time adjusting the this new device on the count that he didn't like the way things were operating by machines." being touchscreen should be be a touchscreen; too should be to and used should be used but even that is awkward; omit the before this; on the count that can be eliminated by substituting because which shortens the sentence and makes it more readable;
    replace "he didn't like the way things were operating by machines" with he didn't like machines.

    It is difficult to make a judgement about what you had to say about these assignments because of the many grammatical and word use mistakes you made. You must either PROOFREAD your work more effectively or go to the Writing Lab for help. Or both.
