#12 6 VIdeos

Classroom of Tomorrow
I really liked this video.  I thought it showed a good representation of what classrooms will be like in the future.  This video shows students using different forms of technology such as iPad, computers,etc.  Technology is already very prevalent and will become even more widespread in the future.  I think the author is correct by saying " The future is available to those who prepare for it" because people who are taught with technology are the people who will be the ones to be best prepared in the future, when most things are technologically advanced.

The Voice of the Active Learner
I thought that this video had many good points.  Technology has become so much more widespread now than it was years ago especially in children, I think that it is still important that children do not become too absorbed in the technology.  While technology is important and bound to become much more prevalent, I think children should not be totally surrounded by technology so that they are still able to know basic social skills.

The Future Starts Now
I think that the author made some really great points in this video.  Technology, or ICT, is something that students are very interested.  Involving technology with everyday learning can be much more fun and exciting for students, making them want to learn.  However, though interest and excitement helps students yearn to learn, I still believe it is important that they are able to not fully rely on technology.  Face to face interaction is still extremely important.

Designing Schools For 21st Century Learning
This video described a different way of building schools in the future.  It is interesting, but the office type setup may be difficult for a student to learn.  I think one of the greatest things about school and learning is the input and interaction coming from other students.  Personally, being in my own cubicle like that would make me feel separated from the other students and may even distract me more.  I found that this video was a little boring.  I felt that the author could have made his point quicker and more to the point with a shorter video.

Tools and Resources for the 21st Century Education
This video was interesting because it provided viewers with many sites that could be used for educational purposes.  I find that useful, but I thought the video was a little long and dragged out for the point that was trying to be put across.

A Vision of 21st Century Teaching
