"Did You Know?"
I have watched a video on "Did You Know?" 3.0 By Dr Strange as well as "Did You Know?" by Karl Fisch and Scott McLead. Both videos are very outstanding. It helps a person understand how fast technology is changing, but just not in our society but all over the world. I honestly did not know that 25% of India population IQ's out number the entire population in the united states. I find that really interesting.
The facts that are put out within the two video is something each and everybody in this world should know. I feel like if you want to succeed in this day and time as well as the future, u will have to keep up with technology. In Karl Fisch video he mentioned that in today's society it is more text messages sent and received everyday that exceeds the total population in the plant, now that is powerful. A lot learned within these two videos
"Mr Winkle Wakes" Mr Winkle Wakes by Mathew Needleman was an excellent clip. I realized so much. It is just like some older people in our society today that is just not up to date on technology but still see the schools some what the same.
I feel like we should as educators keep the children up to date with technology. We should have more then just computers in our library's because before long society will have to use a computer and a lot more just to know the simple stuff. That was a powerful video and an eye opener as well.
"Sir Ken: The Importance of Creativity" This Video " The Importance of Creativity" is about Ken Robinson getting his point across about creativity is just as important in school systems just like all the other subjects. I agree with Ken a lot because there are some students that would rather dance their way through life then actually growing up to become a math teacher or English teacher and so much more.
Our future must be more creative. When more creativity is involve students become themselves more than what our society is trying to make them out to be. I am really starting to agree with him when he said college degrees are really starting not to mean as much as it use to. Right now it seems like our society is pushing education out the door. The harder a student tries the more it does not matter to some. Just let a person be great at who they are and the society should accept who they are no matter what field of education they want to succeed in.
A Day Made of Glass 2 A Day Made of Glass 2 is an awesome but yet scary video. It is kind of crazy how that might be our future if not our kids and grand-kids future. Its very interesting how technology will improve in such a matter to where we are using glass screens in the schools and hospitals. To me its kind of scary how she picked out an outfit without even having to go look for it. That was just taking technology a little to far. Nothing is wrong with being a little independent. I don't know about everything being operated that way but it does seem cool. Technology can harm you but it also can help you.
