"Education must shift from instruction, from imposing of stencils, to discovery--to probing and exploration and to the recognition of the language of forms."
This quote relates back to the Pink posting that we did too. Educators must change their ways of teaching and what they are teaching if students are going to be able to find jobs in the future. They will have to be more inventive and creative.
"The operative words in the prompt are the verbs: imagine, change, experience, create. This directive encourages students to see themselves as being in control of the content and format of the news they present."
I think this will be a whole new way of learning for students. In the past students were rarely in charge of what they learned or how much they learned. Not only will they need to be creative and inventive, they will need to learn to care about what they learn. If they get lazy they will get left behind.
"Vu's observations demonstrate her sensitivity to prevailing trends in mainstream reporting and awareness of the corporate pressures that affect media outlets in general.
This quote is especially true if you think about the 6:00 news. It's full of commercials and editorials. You know that if a company donates large sums of money to a news media, that media is certainly not going to report major "bad" things about that company. The news media needs the funding to pay the huge salaries and the travel that comes with being a news anchor or reporters.

Quote 1 was a good quote to choose and yes it does relate to Pinks summary videos. I also believe it relates to this course and what we are supposed to be learning. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI also commented about your second quote. I love the use of the verbs and that students are doing to learn.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with your 1st quote. Changing the way we teach is a must to help students become more creative in order to get the jobs that do not exist yet.
I love your second quote! You are exactly right our students have to care about what they are learning and show pride in the finial product. When a student has the opportunity to have ownership over something they have created it usually helps motivate the student to produce a better product, thus the student is experiencing a deeper learning experience. Great Post!
ReplyDeleteI really like that you chose that particular quote as your third one. What I like even more is what you had to say about it and the great examples you give with it! Great Post!!!
