I thought that this video had a really interesting and thought provoking message. It points out the difference between classrooms from several years ago to classrooms of today. The part of the video that I found really interesting was the question that it left us with at the end. “Are we teaching them?” To me this question makes me think. What are we really teaching student’s. Is our world becoming so focused on technology and advertising that we are losing what we are really teaching students? As a future teacher, I will keep this in mind. We should be teaching them knowledge and values, not to be lifelong consumers as I discussed in a previous blog. Many things that we have learned in class so far have made me think about the way I want to teach. I’m still a couple years away from that, but I want to keep growing towards being a better teacher. I want to be a teacher who is looked up to and leaves children with good values and knowledge for their life. I think that teachers are very influential, especially at the elementary level, and need to always keep in mind just how influential they can be.
