March 28- Homework assignment

An Open letter to Educators by Morgan Bayda
She tells us how she sat in a university classroom and listened to an instructor lecture. There was no interaction between the students on the topics discussed. This to me would be very boring and as far as paying attention to what was said would be hopeless. Not be able to interact in the classroom is unproductive to the student. To paraphrase what my instructor Dr. Strange says, it that burp back is not a good teaching tool. When students are interested or excited about a class, it makes learning a lot more fun for the students.
The video of Dan Brown was short and to the point. He states that he dropped out of school because his schooling was interfering with his education. When you have been exposed to only the same teaching method learning to adapt and change with the times takes some time. The younger generation was born into all the technology that is around them now but for the older generation they have got to adapt to. It is not impossible but it make take a while for some.
