A Vision of Students Today

I think it is to ironic that I was sitting in class thinking some of the same thoughts and feelings as the students in this You Tube video. The fact is that the most of what you experience in college you have to wonder how it is going to help you in your life. I truly value education and I do see it's worth but I feel most instructors spend too much time emphasizes on the material being taught instead of applying the material to my life. I am an Education Major and the first two years of my college experience was spent on classes that I do not feel will help me in the classroom.

I want to get my money's worth and a lot of my money I feel was wasted. Why should someone trying to better themselves be 20,000 in debt. The education system is somewhat discouraging unless you have a determined mind to not focus on the negative and see the end as a reward. The fact that I am now getting a Bachelors and will have to get a Master's to make real money to pay back my loan is crazy. I think if we are going to be competitive in the future we have go to add more technology and life experiences for students entering college.

New regulations require that all info be submitted to a review board before it can be submitted onto the Wikip edia database. I think this will cut down on a lot of the unreliable information that was so readily available and keep the site from losing any more credibility. Wikipedia

You only say good bye to people you never plan to see again, this is more like see you later. I do not like the word Good bye it sounds so permanent. I do like to think that somewhere down the road of life our paths will meet again and we will remember the time we had on Thursdays in EDM310. I wish you all happy futures and prosperous lives.

Teachers teaching Teachers

I really enjoyed this podcast. The dialect between the the speakers flowed, the information was clear and useful. What better way for a teacher to enhance their learning skills than from learning from each other and receiving feedback in the classroom. It is easier to relate to someone who knows what you are going through on a daily basis and can encourage you and guide you to being a better teacher. We are all different and have vital information to share to help one another. Teachers give to their students everyday and sometimes it is feels good to get back what you put in. Quality of voice sound could have been better
