blog # 2


  1. 1) What is the central message of this video. 
    The central message in the Dance-along video was,you don't learn any subject unless you get to experience or practice it first.
    2) How does the author make the case for this conclusion.
     In conclusion, a teacher who teaches a dance class should actually let the students participate with the dances instead of just talking about it only. Its like if a teacher lectures but doesn't use a book.
    3) Do you agree with his conclusion? Why or why not? 
    No I don't agree because students need structure and demonstration in there classes so they (the students) will learn better.
     a)What does Roberts think it means to teach in the 21st Century? Create an outline of the
    argument made by Roberts, including the evidence and arguments made to support his thesis. How do you feel about the way Roberts sees teaching changing? If Roberts is correct, how will it affect you as an educator? 
    In the video "Teaching in the 21st century",Robert thinks that teaching in the 21st century, kids need to be more engaged in the learning process. That children these days, use nothing but technology for all of the subjects they learn.The teachers should provide content,facts,dates,formulas,research,theories,stories and information. One argument that I remember is when the video was playing all of the questions for example: How do I fix my car?, Whats the best credit card deal for me and also should I rent or buy.

    Honestly I feel like technology has taken over the educational system. That instead of pen and paper when I was little its now iPad's  and cellphones.
    It will affect me as an educator because everything is starting to be just electronics for books, tests even lectures too. Soon all education will be electronics and no more books or paper products. 


    Think about what you have heard and seen. Listen and watch very carefully when the question is asked "Why does the networked student even need a teacher?" Write about your reaction to this video 
    In the video the networked student, the question appeared on the video "Why does the networking student even need a teacher"? I have an answer, to guide the student when he or she needs help in which case in the video its a boy. The teacher is also there to answer any questions and assists him when he gets stuck on something,also the teacher assists the student with what information he is looking up is true information or false.

    My reaction to the video was the animation was good it got the point across with the discussion.

  3. What is the thesis of Davis’ video. What is your reaction to her argument?
  4. A chart of how the 21st century learning will be like
'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The thesis that I came up with from the Davis video was, All Education is becoming Electronic.I personally was not     surprised at all about how the students know more than the teacher in some programs.The teachers grew up with pen and paper, but as students grew up with electronics. 



    Is flipping a classroom new to you? Do you think this approach will be useful to you as a                               teacher? Why or why not?
          The phrase "Flipping a classroom"doesn't sound familiar to me     but I do know what the video is talking about.I had a             class in High School like that it was fun because personally     I understand and learn better as a student electronically         then on paper.I think that the approach was useful for when I     become a teacher, I think that If I grew up with using           electronics then my future students should too.

  2. You said that students need demonstrations in class in order to learn. I agree with that. I was one of those students. It helped me to learn if I saw a demonstration or participated in the lesson. I also agree with you when you said that kids need to be more engaged in the learning process. Technology has not taken over the educational system, but in my opinion integrating technology with the educational system is a great idea. Technology will help students get more excited about learning.

    You did a great job on your post. It kept me interested and also taught me a few things.
