Things 2

Have you ever gone into a toy store and said to yourself, "Man I wish they had this stuff when I was kid." After watching the digital learners clip and the other clips, I was saying the samethings. Learning has taking a whole new direction, and we as teachers have to keep up. Watching those clips made me think of what I need to do to better prepare my students to be better learners in this world. Now a days these kids literally have the world at their finger tips. The can be in two places at once without having to leave the comfort of their own house. The can be in Hawaii watching Mt Kiliua erupt while being in the Indian Himilayas tracking a Yeti on Mt Everest. Yes this is physically imposibile, but learning is not. These kids are going to have a global culture at the touch of their finger tips. We need to catch them and us up to the world in order to compete with those nations that will have the man power to be successful in the world.

What do you get out of it?

Ok so let's see. Learing, we all have to do to it! That's my thought. No i'm kidding Learning is a lifelong process, we start from day one until our very last breathe in this world. We are constintly learning, no matter how we do it. The thing we have to remember is what we keep after our session is done. After watching the video for 7 1/2 habits, I've realized how fun this may acctually be. For me the thing that will be most difficult will be getting everything done. I will have to keep on target with everything and not slack off too much, just every once in while. I think I'll be ok if I just remember to do what I'm supposed to do. The easiest thing is most definitely be playing. I get to play on the computer, ond of all my all time favorite things to do. I liked how the video began with "Begin with the end in mind" It kinda goes with one of my favorite sayings, "To know where you going, you have to remember where you came from," just in reverse.
