Summary Comment for Teacher number 2 EDM310

In the first video There Is Nothing On The Internet That Is Not In Your Heart.  The Intrepid Teacher was concerned about what people have been saying about the internet.  He said that most people think the internet was bad and that not much good came from it.  The Intrepid Teacher then pointed out the good facts.  These are that the internet allows him and others to communicate with people all over the world, make friends, and have people who listen to and understand what he says.  He also stated that the internet is what we put into it and some people will chose to put hateful and harmful things on the internet because that is who they are and that there is always good in things along with the bad things in life and on the internet.  His Second blog School Should Not Be Considered Work  covers the blog of a student who wants to better herself in school, but she is writing as though she is lost and not fully thinking her ideas through.  He tries to tell her/us that school is what we make it and that it is up to us to get the most out of our everyday school lives.  He goes on to tell us that schools are there to show us how to acquire our knowledge and information and not just make us learn what they want us to know.  The one thing I like was the fact that most people love to learn for the sake of learning and that is very much true.  When we can learn over our whole life doors are always opened for us then and only then can we make learning a life long enjoyable dream.



I totally agreed with Intrepid Teachers point of view on the first blog and what he said was the truth.  It is easier for us to say there is too much violence, drugs, and sex and overlook the fact that it takes the more enlighten person to see the good that the internet has brought us in our lives today.  The internet is a tool that we as humans can use to better ourselves and our children not only now, but for years to come.  The things I love about the internet are the friendships, closeness, and wealth of information that come from this companion.  The second video also hit home with me and made me think of my own school age days in high school. Looking back I remember that we all learn differently and some will learn faster than others, but that doesn't mean we are dumb or stupid.  We should all apply ourselves to a life of learning, but sadly most people do not do this and are left out of the loop as they say.  Also the most important thing we tend to forget is that teachers spend all their time trying to be nice, helpful, and respectful to students, for this is why we are there for our students in my opionin and to help them learn will only enable them to accomplish great thing in life and help them to be even better learners.  Also students learn by doing and we should let the students learn and figure out how they want to learn.  To do this will only let our children accomplish greater things in life.
