Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution! - Response

I love how he engages the audience by making them laugh by real world situations. People need to be pushed to wan to get their education, like he said be challenged. By making the generation smart and successful tells people that we have the kind of mind to run the country sufficiently. We now take time for granted, I do myself. I always count on my phone to tell me the time instead of having a clock like the old times. An interesting quote he said was " College starts in kindergarten" That was really interesting because it doesn't. Why should kindergarten be so competitive?  I love how he makes life situations a joke because he doesn't agree. I agree that every one has their own talent that pertains to them selves. He's an amazing speaker, I enjoyed listening to him and watching.

            “A Passionate Teacher: Teacher Commitment and Dedication to student learning”, by Cagri Tugrul Mart is the article I did my comparison to. This article connects to my writing assignment 100% by showing us how teachers are role models and prepare us for future education/ life. Teachers spend months and years with your child, wouldn’t you want that teacher to be the best influence on your child? If I send my child to school every day I want to know that they’re the best hands. When your child is around someone all the time, they start to develop the same habits. Every parent wants their child to have a healthy education. “Passionate teachers know that is their role to encourage students for an active learning and concern themselves with promoting students intellectual and moral development” (Mart 438) Passionate teachers love doing their job and love to pass it on. Parents depend on that teacher to give their all and prepare them for what they need to know. If you a great teacher you want the class to look up to you. Make them feel comfortable and allow them to trust you at what you’re doing. You should want to be that role model teacher so when the students look back they can say “He/She was my favorite teacher”. We are around teachers from pre-school till grad school. Each and every taught us something new that will lead us into the next step. “There are strong empirical grounds for believing that teachers can and do make a difference and that consistent high quality teaching, supported by strategic professional development, can and does deliver dramatic improvements in student learning “. (Mart 438) Teachers have a huge impact on how students become in the real world. They can either brake them or make them. Some teachers put an extensive amount of work into students; on the other hand, you have teachers who say “You should have been paying attention” The way that you keep focusing is with different tactics; for example, mini learning games. Games that make their mind think and they wouldn’t even know it. They also learn from the various activities, in return they would receive a free homework pass for winning the game. That also motivates other students by encouraging them to win.

Introduction!

The blog space reflects me as myself expressing my thoughts. Anything I have to say can be said on my blog. It’s also a better way to do assignments, because you’re already working on the computer. The most important thing to me is my family, without them I wouldn’t have the things I have now am passionate about basketball, I’ve been playing since I was in the 6^th grade and haven’t stopped. I am in school because I want to become a homicide detective and to become that I have to get my master’s degree then become a police officer and work my way up. I am furthering my education because I want to have a successful life as an adult. I hope to expand my style of writing, being able to write solid A+ work. I need to take this class because it will help me write papers so I can present to the judge in court. What I value most is my family and basketball. They both help me at the same time. My family helps me by allowing me to just focus on school and not pressure me. Basketball helps my career by potentially giving me a scholarship to go to any school I want.
