When I finished reading Morgan Boya post i agreed qith her. The way students are learning these days is not helping. If anything it is harming the students. We can not use teaching styles from over a hundred years ago to teach the students of 2011?? It doesn't make sense. And for colleges and universities to be the same way. How do we expect to get ahead when we are still going backwards?? I thought Dan Brown's video was exciting. he explain s how the way WE teach today is not affective. We must change our learning styles in order to become better educators. Edm 310 is a great example of the type of learning not just college students should receive but middle schoolers and up. Every one should be allowed to participate in their learning. By doing you learn more because it helps you know if you know what your doing or not. And when you make a mistake it allows you to learn from it. I think the way Dan portrayed this information in the video was very entertaining. I think more people should watch and learn from this.
Tom Johnson's Don't Let Them Take the Pencils Home! I thought was a great read. It was a great message as well. I thought it was great to focus on how to alternativelty handle the "pencil" situation. I think that the message this gives is that you should not always place blame nor should you try to take away from a child, but learn how adjust the situation or compromise to where it is beneficial for the child.
