Did You Know?
Wow. so my first thought after watching this video was, OMG, what does he want us to write about, I don't know what I think except that some of it I expected and some was like wow.  I mean of course computers are going to get better and better.  In a few years they will probably make a computer small enough to fit in your front pocket, and like VCRs and DVD players, computers will become pretty cheap.  
                    It was  a little strange to hear that China is becoming the main English speaking country.  One question, WHY?  But I guess its like US, when people from different countries come here they expect us to know how to talk to them in their language.  of course China's kids are smarter than us, they are way stricter on studying.

     Mr. Winkle has been asleep  for a very long time. when he finally wakes up, he discovers that there is a whole new technological world.  He goes to work and it is very techy, computers everywhere, people video chatting with others from around the world.  It is just all so overwhelming that he gets physically sick, so he decides to go to the hospital only to discover that is is very technological too.  people are hooked up to machines, doctors use machines to look at bones, they use machines for everything.   
          He then walks into a school and thinks that is so different, but then he realizes that school is exactly the same as he remembered.  Students still all sit in rows and listen to teachers teach the same subjects he remembers studying.

          Sir Ken Robinson
                 I  loved all his stories, especially the one about the little girl drawing God and the one about the dancer.  Its so true that if a child cannot sit still, someone wants to put them on meds. I can't stand how adults feel that they need to drug children in order for them to behave.  they just need a little different technique than just sitting still all day.

Cecelia Gault's Interviews  with Sir Ken Robinson
     This girl that interviewed Sir Ken Robinson was very well educated and she had some very good questions.  This was a great interview especially for a young child. I hope in the future that I may teach my students to do this well at things.

This teacher had a great relationship wit her students, she interacts with her students.  She says that students cannot just learn with pencils and paper.  Every student learns different.  She has a very nice relationship with the students, she is not afraid to admit that she doesn't know something and she lets them teach her.  she also lets the students communicate with students their own ages.
