By watching The Ischool Initiative by Travis Allen, the argument about needing Ischool in class rooms was a great idea. Using Ischool would change the face of learnig as we know it in a positive way. Bringing Ischool in classrooms would be a very useful tool in todays computer driven world. I agree with Travis Allen and his idea to get rid of paper, pencils, and books in modern classrooms.
By doing so we would leave a cleaner carbon foot print for the next generation of students. Another great point Travis makes is how much money is being wasted in our school system. Ischool would save at lease $450 per student per school year.
In Zeitigeist Young Minds Entry, made by Travis Allen after he left high school shows how great his idea about Ischool became. Travis gained a lot of public awareness and fame from hid ideas. He opened the eyes and gained lots of respect of many educators by pushing technology into their classrooms. I think Ischool is great and I wish Travis Allen nothing but the best in spreading the power of Ischool.
I was blown away by the organization and the use of the internet in Eric Whitacre's Virtul Choir. This shows the organization and the power of the internet in the world today. Just think, the internet can put a piece together like this, that makes the ideas of the internet endless.
In the video Teaching in the 21st Century, by Kevin Roberts he feels teaching is far more than just presenting information or facts to a classroom. By this said, it is not enough in todays society to only lecture. Kevin feels that problem creating and problem solving is a far better technique to become a great educator. Learning Kevins technique will require the learning of computers. I feel this is a very useful tool in becoming a great educator in the future.
Flipping the classroom is a great teaching tool to insure you have to classrooms attention. I really agree with the flipping method, it really does make learning easyer.
Flipping the classroom is very useful because I have instructors that use this method in there classrooms. The method makes you have a better understanding of the lecture in the classroom. Hearing the information over and over again helps me to remember the information better. Therefor I will surely use this method in may classroom in the future.
"...the face of learnig as we know..." learning, not learnig
ReplyDelete"... fame from hid ideas..." his, not hid
"By this said, it is not enough in todays society ..." But, not By; today's, not todays
" Learning Kevins technique will require..." Kevin's, not Kevins
You have no summary of what a flipped classroom is. Someone who does not know that will miss the meaning of what you have said about flipped classrooms.
Your summaries of the first and third assignments are too brief.
You must summarize in one paragraph and then comment is a second paragraph for every assignments (or part of an assignment).

ReplyDeleteWhile reading your blog post, I found several grammatical errors.
ReplyDelete1. "learnig"....should be learning.
2. "in todays computer driven world"....should be today's
3. "from hid ideas"....should be his
There were other grammatical errors as well. I also noticed that you were very brief with your summaries. Be sure that you are summarizing the videos in your post so that your audience understands what you are talking about.
Every post is required to have links. Be sure you are following Dr. Strange's directions for all assignments. Other than that, keep up the good work.
