This video was very interesting to be because it shows how much there is to being a student in today's world. It is hard to balance it all. There was one part of the video where someone held up a sign that mentioned having to be good at multitasking... that is the story of my life! I am doing my homework as I eat lunch in my room on my lunch break at work.
The other reaction that came over me after watching this is how fast the world is moving. There are so many changes and as a teacher, it scares me because I can't tell you just how to prepare students for the future and I can't say what the roles of teachers will be in the future. I believe in embracing technology and all of the technological advances but what if I can't keep up or the world of teaching passes me by and we as teachers become irrelevant?
All we can do now is learn what is out there and do what is best for our kids.
Thank you for sharing this! I was thinking about how technology is always changing and there is a lot to keep up with. Do you think some teachers that have been teaching for 20+ years feel this way about some simple things such as computers?
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your thoughts on this video. While I was watching it I couldn't believe all the things the signs said, but, at the same time, so many of the things that were on the signs hit home for me. They put into words so many aspects of my education in undergrad and aspects I continue to experience today due to the fact that I am a full-time teacher working on my masters. Multi-tasking is the key word. I would never be able to do everything I do if I didn't learn how to multi-task!
