1) What is the central message of this video
2) How does the author make the case for this conclusion
3) Do you agree with his conclusion

I think the central message of this video was that you cant teach people to dance without them doing it. I think his point was to let people know that certain things cant be taught by just sitting in a class. In his conclusion it really didn't make any sense to me but I think he wanted people to think outside the box and do things on their on.

Teaching in the 21st century
1 Think outside the box
2 Let technology take its place
3 Get the kids to engage in learning

I believe Roberts is right in what he is doing. Teaching has change a lot over the years as well as technology. The way the world is set up these days we need better ways to keep the children active in wanting to learn. This will affect me in many different ways because I cant go by what I was taught in schools. I will have to learn new ways to teach and interact with the children of the world today.

In the video at the networked student it gave me a lot of insight on what I am getting into in this class. Connectivism is a new way to learn and help the student use some of the new technology's of the world. I really learned a lot by watching the video and I am eager to learn more. It is so much to do in this class that it is hard to keep up sometimes. The teacher is there for helping the student create this network of learning. The teacher is a guide so the student can succeed in the class and in life.

In the harness your student digital smarts video she lets the kids learn and teach on there on. She challenges the kids to learn and empower them to learn and teach the class. This is a very smart way to do things because she keeps them involved and wanting to learn more. I really enjoy things like this because these children are the future and w need them to be able to do these things.

In flipping the classroom I have never used this. I do think this is something that will help the children of the world in this day in age. If they miss days they can always go back and get the assignment and be able to get help with things they don't understand. It help the children get a head start on there education.

I feel that the bringing the locker room into the classroom was a very good way to teach at times. I feel that if the information is given and they know what they need to do it can be helpful. I do not feel that it should be used in all classes because some information could be false and not something the student should be studying.
