As a student in Dr. Strange's EDM 310 class at the University of South Alabama, I found this video clip very informative. It depicts the learning environment of today's student to that of a 19th century student. To date I can say my college experience has been eventful, not the dreaded experience depict in this clip. For example, the instructor's have made a consorted effort to keep the classroom size at a maximum of less than 30 students.
I found several of the facts presented in this clip unacceptable for today's students. For example, a student read 8 books during the term opposed to over 1,200 emails. Another alarming thought is most graduates will probably have jobs that don't even exist now. Technology along can not save today's student but if utilize properly it will help advance the learning capabilities of today's students. I think this EDM 310 class is making a major step toward preparing today's student to be viable part of society. I would add the use of modern technology in a classroom setting, this captures my college experience.

Good video, alarming information. Only 18% of teacher know their students name. The schools need less lecture and more hands on. utilizing modern technology will reinvigorate students.
ReplyDeleteYour writing and grammar needs work.
ReplyDeletePlease put all comments for one week's assignment in one post. That save about 2 hours per class for the instructor.
"I think this EDM 310 class is making a major step toward preparing today's student to be viable part of society." We hope so!
