I have listened to this clip and reflected on it in previous classes, but it is worth mentioning again. Here is my reflection:
“Learning to Change and Changing to learn"I found this clip to be so enlightening and uplifting. As a soon to be new teacher to the teaching profession, I have seen a division between teachers. It almost seems like some teachers don’t want, or are afraid to change, and prefer to stick to the “old style of teaching” and some teachers, most of the "newer" teachers, want to incorporate change and bring technology into the classroom. In my opinion, I believe the difference lies in that "newer" teachers just coming out of college, are learning and are very much aware how important it is for technology to be in our classrooms.
An important point addressed by several of the narrators in the video clip is that our children are exposed to so many different types of stimuli outside of the classroom we need to find a way to incorporate some of that stimulus into the classroom to maintain the balance necessary to keep them interested. Children are so much more social and technical than ever. Some key points addressed in the clip – we as educators have to accept technology, it’s not a choice. School is only one place that children learn. If they are using technology outside of school we have to have in our schools and incorporate it into their learning. One of the most significant points stated in this clip for me was “We need to shift students academic experience to prepare them for college and even life.” If we continue to teach in traditional ways and not the way the 21st century is headed we are doing an injustice to the future leaders of our country.

Joy, I found your analysis of the video clip very comprehensive and insightful. I agree with your statements about the need for teachers to change their practices and start to integrate the technological tools available now. There is such a large gap how and what students do and learn after school, and how they are engaged while in school. It's very motivating to be learning about the technologies we can use in the classroom. I'm sure you are going to be a very stimulating and inspiring teacher for your students.
