Week #2


I found Sir Ken Robinson's video "Bring On the Learning Revolution" very enjoyable. It reminded me what the purpose of education is: to fuel students' dreams and excite their spirits. From personal experience, I know that learning happens best when this engaging environment is cultivated. Since students' talents, interests and passions are so diverse, Robinson believes that education needs to be customized to the individual. Technology is an extremely helpful tool when it comes to adapting and customizing a curriculum to meet the needs of individual students. Although some people may argue that technology in the classroom is distracting or detracts from learning, I see technology playing a vital role in the classroom, from effectively engaging students with the subject matter to helping the curriculum easily change shape to adapt to the students' needs.
