Upon reading my EDM 310 blog, if you haven't realized the tools that are accessible to learn inside and outside of the classroom, then watch this video. It pulls all of the tools I have learned about this semester together, and puts them into context. It shows how a student can use these tools to, in this case, complete a project, but more importantly, gain knowledge from other sources than a textbook.
The video was incredibly simple but creative! I found it easy to follow and fun to watch! It also provides an extensive amount of information. This video follows our friend the 21st Century High School student, and his journey through his Contemporary Issues class using and creating a PLN, or Personal Learning Network.
I think this video should be a requirement for future teachers AND current teachers to watch. If every school from elementary to collegiate level could teach courses in this manner, the possibilities would be unfathomable! Professors from Harvard and Yale could be sources on my next history paper!
I also learned a few good things from this video. How to strengthen the learning process by allowing your students to learn to teach themselves, and the students acquiring their own PLN.
