1. This was a great informative video on how to improve your personal learning network, It informs students of the different ways that they can learn outside of lectures and a textbook. It tells that not only can students learn from outside sources, but they can also teach the same thing to others. It provides a great way on how to share knowledge with others.
The student in the video has the opportunity to learn as much information about a subject as well as other students without the use of a textbook. With the help of personal learning network he actually communicated with the author of his classmates' textbook. Most students do not take advantage of networking with others. They do not realize how easy that they can communicate with authors.
I am not prepared to teach a connective student. After I graduate I have to make sure that I am very educated in my field of study. With all of the outside resources available, I have to make sure that I am prepared to answer the questions or comment on any remarks from the students that they learn from sources on the internet. I think that there should be a media class in every school so that teachers can focus on what they are to teach instead of helping the students create a personal learning network.
2. Personal learning environment goes hand in hand to personal learning network. The environment is where one may organize all of their networks onto one home page.
3. Michael Wesch is an amazing educator. It is true that today's generation is more focused on themselves. Some are steadily looking to find themselves and many times that takes place in the classroom. They try to relate themselves to what is going on the classroom. Many call it selfish.
As a future educator, I will try to relate as much of my lessons as possible to the students daily life so that they will be interested in the lesson.
The machine is definitely changing us. I have not yet come to know why some feel as if they have to entertain the world with home footages on you tube. We do not know the 1.4 billion people on the planet who may view the video.

ReplyDeleteYou are opposed to being an educator in a connected classroom? Am I understanding you correctly? What do you mean by: "I think that there should be a media class in every school so that teachers can focus on what they are to teach instead of helping the students create a personal learning network."
Are you opposed to Personal Learning Networks?
