Did You Know?
This video was extraordinary. It has so much information that i did not know about. How in five minutes of me watching the video there were sixty seven babies born in the United States, and even more than that in China and India. That was just in the time that the video was going. Which leads to the question is the world over populated? After watching the video I will view the world a whole lot differently. It shows how much the whole world is changing everyday.
Also in the video it shows how much the technology world is changing. Like for instance, how when a student starts college by the third year the stuff he or she learned in the first will be outdated. That's amazing. A person can learn something new everyday. And this video proves that. And in conclusion everyone should keep up with the times and how they are changing to stay updated in the world.

Mr. Winkle Wakes
This video is about a man named Mr. Winkle who wakes up after a hundred years to find the world has changed. Business people can talk to each other around the world on a computer. How the hospital had machines keeping people alive. But when he went to the school nothing has changed. The teacher still teaches and the students still take notes.
 After watching the video I noticed that the world has changed and is still changing rapidly. Everything will continue to change as the world of technology grows. The thing that was kind of disturbing is that education has not changed. This means that as technology changes the schools are not. This is not a good thing. The schools should get up to date and teach to the updating technology. This will better help the students in the "real world".
The Importance Of Creativity
 This is about Sir Ken Robinson and expert on creativity. He wants to create an education that nurtures with creativity rather than undermining it. He states the unpredictable world is changing everyday. And how kids that are being educated today for the world ahead and nobody knows what the world will look like or be like in five years. So how is this possible? He wants for education to change with the world and as of right now its not.
 This is important because education is still teaching the same thing it started out teaching. Of course students need the basics of reading and writing and how to solve problems. But on the other hand students need to learn about the changing world. For instance students need to learn today about your computers and how relevant they are to the world today. This is something that was not taught a while ago. This just shows that education needs to be updated with the technology.
Laura's Blog Post
 The great thing about this article and video is how we need to change education with the times. How everyone is creative and that education should encourage creativity rather than ignoring it. Also that the United States is way behind in the education factor and this should reveal a problem to the educators. And to ensure that the Cecilia Gault's  have as good as an education as this Cecilia Gault is to encourage creativity. Let the students be creative and show them that it is alright to think outside the box.
 Harness Your Students' Digital Thoughts
 This video is of a small town teacher Viki Barnes. She uses technology such as podcasts and blogs to connect her students to the world. Her blog won the best education teacher blog of the year. Her purpose is to show the students the rest of the world through the computer. She teaches this because she believes that this is important in the world today of the changing technology. She allows her students to teach her this is important because she knows she does not know everything about certain things and the students when finding out certain things can teach her what they found.
 This is a great video in that it shows how one teacher can do a whole lot when embracing the changing world and teaching it to her students. Once again the world is changing rapidly and in order to keep up we have to learn the new technologies.And to do this we have to open our eyes and not shut the new technology out. This good that Ms. Barnes is doing this and other teachers should join in.
