What will teaching in the 21st century be like?

 When turning on the Mr.Dancealot video, at first I was confused. Then I realized what the central message was. Even though the 21st century teaching style has changed to more along the lines of technology, there are some classes that can not be taught using a presentation. While he was teaching this class, the teacher was not teaching this class the best way. The author demonstrates this in a way of showing a dance class but with it just being a lecture through the semester and then wanting the students to perform them on camera having never performed any of the dances before for their finally. I agree with what the author was trying to convey. When teaching a class, you need to find a way that fits what your teaching. For instance, take this video for example the teacher should have not used power point to teach dance, but had this class in a ballroom or gym rather then a lecture hall. He also should have shown the students what to do where they could actually see what he was doing and he should have let them practice with a partner while teaching.

• Teachers being filters. 
• Facebook, twitter, google, etc
• Helping students analyze data.
• Where is the information coming from that students are learning?
• How can students be challenged online?
• pirating, copyright

  Roberts way of seeing teaching is a great point of view. Students, including myself, use Google or some other search engine when working on homework, I used it often when working on organic chemistry and couldn't seem to understand what was going on. He is right that we need to know where the information is coming from and if it is reliable. Teachers are acting as filters more in the 21st century, then they are anything else. Yes, they are extremely helpful. Though now even Elementary schools and Middle schools are giving students computers to do their school work. I think this will have a heavy impact on me as a teacher. Though I believe teachers will always be needed in some way. The internet might be useful, but it is not always correct.

 The Networked Student was a good view on roles of the students and teachers. I think the question "Why does the networked student even need a teacher" in the video is answered the right way. The teacher shows the student how to make his network so he can continued using it after he leaves her class. Yes, the teacher's job has changed but the teacher is still important to what is happening. My reaction to this video was simply, I thought it was enlightening and not all that wrong.

Vikki Davis' thesis is her and her students being the teachers and the learners. She shows them how to use technology to their advantage, though students also teach her! I thought this was brilliant. I have never liked teachers who think they know everything and are not willing to listen to your point of view or even what you might know and they have yet to hear. Things change everyday and nothing is the same. I will defiantly learn something in college that will change and my future students will teach me the new things! Everyone should evolve with time and teachers and students should learn from each other.

    
  I'm an Undergraduate at the University of South Alabama. Now to the question "Who's ahead in the Learning race?". After watching this video and even from experience I have to say Elementary students are ahead. I have siblings who are a lot younger then me, my sister being ten years younger then me. She is a six grader and she knows how to use her iPhone, ipad, and her mac she gets from school. She actually shows me how to work things on it. My brother is a ninth grader but has always been skilled at a computer. He shows me how to use programs that I have to use for school or something else. He could probably do this work no problem. After hearing this video and even everything I know about computers, Elementary schools are defiantly winning this race.

 Flipping the classroom, I have not heard of it phrase this way, though I have been in a class with this way of teaching. I think it could be a useful approach for certain subjects. Students are not going to watch a lecture on the computer for all subjects, they will be bored or even easily distracted. I know this because I speak from experience for cell biology. I didn't like how it was taught. I would use this method for maybe a math class. You could show students what to do and also give them practice problems, then class could be used for helping with things they didn't understand. 

What about EDM 310?

Hello,

    I have heard some awful things about this class. It has scared me to sign up for this class, but I decided to get it out of the way. I have heard this class was time consuming and hard. I also heard a lot of the students didn't like the amount of time it took to the assignments and that some found it hard, but I have not heard more then that since I have just recently changed my major to Education. My biggest fear is not doing the blog posts correctly. I'm also worried about forgetting to do something for the class when having to juggle my other commitments. This class is different from every class I have ever taken. I can't just study information and it be given back in some form of a test, though I kind of like the approach because I have never been very good at tests. Plus, the class is interactive. The most difficult thing for me, I believe, will be the posting of videos of myself talking. I'm not a very outgoing person, I have an easier time talking to little kids then adults. The best way for me to overcome this is to do it anyway. I can't think of any others questions to ask.

Hello!

   My name is Jennifer Parker. I'm a 21 year old female.I live in Mobile, Alabama, though I was raised in Loxley and Foley, Alabama.  I have been married two years and we are currently expecting our first child. We also have a puppy who thinks she is a baby.My husband is currently attending The Harrison School of Pharmacy at Auburn on USA campus. I have two siblings I adore. My brother is 14 and is a freshman in high school. My sister is 11 and is a 6th grader. My mother works at bay side Orthopedics and works in the billing department. My father owns his own pool cleaning company. I love to read when I have hours of time because I tend to get lost in my book and have no idea whats going on around me. My other love is to spend a lot of time with my family. 

   

     I attend the University Of South Alabama. I actually chose USA because I wanted to be close to my parents and siblings. My major at South is Elementary Education with a double minor in Chemistry and Criminal Justice. I would really love to teach Kindergarten because I love little kids. I find they are the most interesting people and they tell you everything. They also always see the bright side of things. I have wanted to be a teacher  for as long as I can remember. 21st century educator's work entails making sure all students are on the same page with everyone, that everyone understands.Their jobs entail more for preparing students for state tests rather then teaching for higher education.

 The thing I'm best at is caring for others. I love to read more then I like doing anything else. I would like to know how to dance better because I actually enjoy dancing. I actually dance around my parents living room with my little sister often. I can be girly for some things but i prefer my jeans and t-shirt rather then wearing dresses and skirts. I absolutely hate heels! I love action movies and chick flicks. I also love to play video games and bored games.
