TED Video

  The TED video was very interesting. It touched a bunch of different areas. The video almost came off as anti teacher. It is amazing how kids can teach themselves stuff faster and perhaps better than an actual teacher, but i believe that there has to be a balance with the amount a computer teaches and amount a teacher teaches. There are things that are better to be taught by a teacher. Kids won't always show interest in everything they need to learn. Kids learn better on the computers because they are interested in elecronics, when you are interested in something it is easier to learn.

Another thing that interested me was, it opened my eyes to realize how we can at times under estimate how much goes on in a child's head, in a sense. There are things children can teach themselves and we don't always give them enough credit for their creativity.

I started workin in a 1st grade classroom and reading this I applied this to my students and realized how there are kids that in my class  that would benefit from it and some that I think wouldn't as much as others. The kids are at so many different levels of learning and they all process things so so so differently. In a college class at UNM, my class was mostly online, and I strugggled. I dont even really remember learning, just remember hating the computer while taking tests and such. Therefore, By altering the way of education to learning on a comupter, I believe would affect us in both a negative and positive way because some kids, more than others would benefit from it.

But, Just as a side note. By the way the world is moving with electronics, I think it will come to where computers will generate a teacher like figure to teach us ha ha
