I found the “youtube.com” video to be very interesting. It brought up many facts that are worthy of note. The video is geared towards teachers and their methods of teaching. If the world around us is making advances in technology, shouldn’t education be one of the things making advancements? Almost every aspect of our lives involves technology. Our morning routines, places of employment/careers; basically we are surrounded by technology. Technology is artificial; we created it and continue to improve our way of life through the use and fine-tuning of our technological resources. If it is so important to our evolution, why isn’t education evolving along with everything else? The most effective way to teach in this day and age is by using technology. Technology is the key to a proper education.
The last reading, “In the Basement of the Ivory Tower”, perfectly describes the way an average college student not only thinks, but also applies himself/herself. In the beginning of the semester, everything is dandy and everyone is filled with positive energy. From the midway point to the end, however, everyone’s positive energy has dissipated and been replaced by the “Fuck Its”.
1. How accurate do you think “In the Basement of the Ivory Tower” depicts college students and teachers?
2. Do you feel technology needs to have a place in education? Why or why not?
3. What ways can technology benefit not only students, but teachers as well?
