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.
