This is a short video by Michael Wesch and the purpose is to show how current college students feel about college classes and expenses. Classes are to big and professors do not know their students. Expenses are outrageous and some classes are required to take, but are not useful towards their degree. Text books are pricey and many professors do not even use them. Many students do not want to be in the classroom because they feel that it is a waste of time and do not try hard. As an educator, I want to be interesting and motivating to my students.
Back to the Future by Brian Crosby
Mr. Crosby teaches fourth, fifth, and sixth graders at Agnes Risley Elementary School in Sparks, Nevada. Many of his students speak English as their second language. His students have laptops and use blogs. They do several hands on activities and post them on their blogs with pictures. He also as a student that has to stay home because she has cancer and they use Skype with her to keep her involved with the class. I think it is great that Mr. Crosby is able to teach so many objectives through one activity, I like the saying "killing two birds with one stone." I think it is great how he motivates his students to want to learn!
