I have been feeling a little uncertain about it, and any comments are much appreciated.<br />To answer some of your questions: First, I do agree that most education is "burp-back." However, I like it that way, because I am great at regurgitating. (That was a joke.) <br />Secondly, you are right to point out that I didn't put my personal opinions on Sir Ken Robinson's video. I had to take some time to ponder what he said. I go back and forth on his statement regarding literacy and creativity. I want to agree and disagree all at the same time. It sounds good. However, let's face the facts. If you can't read or write your own name, who cares how creative you are? I know the point he was trying to make, and I agree that creativity is stifled by the traditional learning environment. I also agree that the wrong answer can sometimes be more educational than the right one. Programming the "right" answer into children does not help them to become independent and critical thinkers. <br />Thanks again for the feedback!Jessica Bonnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17854313669858377271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972065642068988453.post-80052735768452540172012-02-12T20:20:38.129-06:002012-02-12T20:20:38.129-06:00Hey Jessica,
I agree with what you say about the ...Hey Jessica,<br /><br />I agree with what you say about the way our education has been headed. This what you said: "How we are going to integrate technology across a vast, debt-ridden nation is another issue entirely." Is it really that much different? I think the two walk hand in hand. We as teachers need to know our students and their status economically to be able to use the right technology for that particular student. From there, we know exactly what we need to do for these students. Technology is really great if students can carry it with them from school to home, but it isn't absolutely necessary. With that said, I do agree that the status of students in terms of access to technology is an amazing feat to overcome.<br /><br />Do you agree with Dr. Strange when he refers to many, not all lecture classes as "Burp-Back" education?<br /><br />You described Sir Ken Robinson's video very well, but I want to know what you think. Do you agree with what he was saying? Do you think that we spend to much time in schools asking students for the right answer and not letting them explore the answer themselves?<br /><br />I'm glad that Ms. Davis has shown you some ideas along with this class. <br /><br />Good post Jessica!<br /><br />Stephen AkinsStephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013950577628601749noreply@blogger.com
