Learning new things Discussion 1 (5317)

The videos provided for this week’s discussion were very eye opening and something I feel all educators need to hear. The first video presented by Dr. Sugata Mitra was very interesting with so many resources available you start to wonder what the future will be like when it comes to education and how the students will learn. Every day we as educators are learning something new and we of course have to stay on top of all of the new technology so that we can teach our students so they can begin to teach other students within their own learning communities (School) soon to be or if not already blended learning.

The second video about creating and drawing your own future hit home for me and is just what I need to give me some motivation and realize that the things we speak and create for ourselves can come true if we put our good foot forward and change the way we look and do things, things well be better for us as learners and educators.
