September 13th, In response to "World Without Walls: Learning Well with Others" http://www.edutopia.org/collaboration-age-technology-will-richardson Here are a few ideas for what you could write about in your reflection/reaction post: This article talked about how the internet allows us to learn, communicate, and collaborate in new ways. It shows the positive aspects of the new internet age, and how it can be beneficial to parents, teachers, and students. "Much of what our students learn from us is unlearned once they leave us; paper is not the best way to share our work, facts and truths are constantly changing, and working together is becoming the norm, not the exception". I find this quote from the article interesting, mainly because of the profound truth in it. I find myself forgetting the lessons learned in school, even days after they were explained. This is mainly because they are not applied to our life. The connections we have on the internet make it easy to connect with our community, and learn more from people, with people, or about people. I find it surprising that teachers condone spending time on the internet. I myself don't like technology very much, and prefer learning out of books, or directly from conversations with people. Seeing that teachers encourage us to explore the web, comes off as peculiar to me. I like the idea of connected learning for video editing, and working together on school projects. However, i like the interactions with the people i'm working with s well, and spending just as much time doing the pre-editing and internet work, such as filming. I'd like to learn more about how to edit, which I've never been particularly good at. I'd really like to learn more about topics which I find obscure and more challenging to learn.
