A Vision of Students Today Blog

I learned that students feel like they are learning things that don’t matter. How will it benefit them in their future life? It is hard to really focus in class, because us college students bring our laptops, iPad, tablets, and etc. to class. And when we bring our electronics to class, we either be shopping, on social media or playing games. Because we get bored when the teacher is teaching about something that’s not going to help us in the future.

Everything that they showed in the video is characteristics of all students that are in school even grade school students. All college students feel like it is pointless to go to school and not get the correct lesson they supposed to get. And they also feel like they also feel like they just wasting their money on school. It made me realize that we really take classes that don’t have anything to do with our major like we taking pointless classes that we will not have to use in the future.

I enjoyed the video presentation that Mr. Dave came and talked to us about. It really taught me a lot, because he showed from how to use different lighting, and tools. When I do my videos they be bad lighting, and the sound be horrible. And I also be nervous when I do my videos, even thought its just me shooting in a room by myself. I learned a lot of new things from the presentation, and I can't wait to try the new things I learned. And I also can't wait to take pictures using the tools I learned. This make me want to buy one of them high price cameras and take pictures of people.

4th Blog:Let's use video to reinvent education

 I learned how he started making YouTube videos for his cousins and other people started looking at his videos. Different people was writing him thanking him for starting making videos. Parents said that it was helping their kids with their work they didn’t understand. Even teachers were writing him asking can he make videos for their lessons. He also does a similar thing at the Khan Academy like they do at school when you teach a lesson for a week then you move on to something else. Even if the students don’t understand the previous lesson.

     I think it is a good thing to use video in education, because people learn in different ways. And especially if they are at home they can rewind, pause, or stop the video when they get ready. This can help me as a future teacher to maybe let my students watch some of his videos when we get to the lesson, and see if that will help them understand the lessons better.  I think his ideas was a good thing to do and it really help a lot of people. I always watch YouTube videos when I need help on doing something.

3rd Blog - The process of creating the Free App Trailer

At first I was procrasnating on doing the app trailer, because I said it was gone be so hard to do. I didn't know what app to do I didn't even know which where to start. So when I got what app I was going to do I went on YouTube and watched other people app trailers. I actually watched the tutorial videos and they helped me too. It was very frustrating at first, because I couldn't get my slides to cooperate.

After I finished the video I learned a lot about making videos with music and how people be doing make up and hair tutorials on the internet. This project was very helpful for me, because one day I might do a tutorial video on something I want to share with other people. I also will use what I learned from this  project with my future students to help them when they want to make a video. This project was very fun to do.

Do school kill creativity?

If you not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything. Children are scared to be wrong. I learned that education people are out of the out of their creativity capacity. They said that all children are born artist. We grow into creativity we grow out of it. I also learned that there is no public system for education.

 I think that school is killing creativity because of the challenges that the schools have to face now. The reason is, because they are making the students take all of these test like the standardized test. The test will determine if the students can move to the next grade or how well they know their work. And some of the children are failing to learn, because they are not ready to be on a certain level.  And that’s the main reason why children are dropping out of school, because they not passing these test. Especially in the state where I am from. This can help me want to be motivated to teach each and every one of my students so they can be ready and they won’t have to feel like they can’t do it.
