Mr.Dancealot
The central message of this video is that teachers should allow students to engage in classroom activities. Mr. Dancealot taught from powerpoint and didn’t allow the students to interact. The students couldn’t see the instructions; they only took notes. I don’t agree with his conclusion because the students are lost on the final exam. Eventhough they had notes, they didn’t get hands-on practice.

In the 21st century technology is replacing reading books. Students can look up anything on the internet. As a future educator it would be something new to include into curriculum. Teaching the students how to use information correctly will be exciting, but it shouldn’t be hard because children are starting to use electronics at an early age.
The Networked Student
Before watching this video,I had no idea that Connectivism existed. Networking with different databases is a great way for students to learn different information. Eventhough the student basically can network alone, but the teacher still serve a purpose to teach and lead. Connectivism provides an easy way for students to solve solutions and with that is like replacing the teacher. Students still need guidelines to follow and someone to make sure the work is on time and correct.
Harness Your Students’ Digital Smarts
Vicki Davis stated, “pen and paper are not the only way to learn.” She believes that students learn differently. She is an amazing teacher; especially with the different programs that is used in her classroom. The students are able to connect with different students around the world. This is a great example of how teaching should be in the classroom.
Who’s Ahead in the Learning Race?
It’s evident that the students at Gulf Shores Elementary are ahead of the undergraduates and graduates students at the University of South Alabama. It’s a great that the elementary students are utilizing technology in the classroom. It’s amazing how those students know how to navigate the IPAD or MacBook. Incorporating technology in the classroom in the way to go in the 21st century.
Flipping In the Classroom
Flipping is something I’ve never heard of before this video. I think it is a great way of teaching. With the discussions in the classroom it gives the students a chance to interact and voice their opinion. I think this approach will be useful because I would have more time in the classroom to do activities; instead, of the lectures taking up classroom time.
