Nice, I like the office and the spoof part was great. Funny thing as an engineer we actually do use a lot of technology in the class room, though when I took a socs class, classroom clickers were the main source of technology.
pamela: In the video you could tell that the teacher was not teaching the course of technology. The teacher needs more computer skills and the students seem to know more about technology than the teacher. The teacher is using out dated materials and the students are not learning. This shows how teachers need to be trained in the field of technology to better serve their students.
Wait. So what exactly was the point of this video? Was it supposed to be an example of how technology (I'm starting to hate that word...) is often more dysfunctional in the class room?
Or is it just supposed to be spoof? Because if it is...then it's gigantic fail. Not funny, not interesting, and really no point.
The only thing dysfunctional about this video, is your take on it. This is a communications class (COMMUNICATIONS, not film) that is trying to bring awareness to a large and very real issue about the way technology is being used, or lack of, in classrooms these days.
This video has sparked many conversations with my peers around the topic at hand.
blackboard is a tool online used by teachers and students. kinda hard to explain but teachers can post lessons and assignments and grades on there and students get class info from it or communicate with other students on it
This is a great comment on "technology in the classroom". My favorite line is "If you are here, why are we 'Skiping'?" The video seems very well "casted"; John Boswell is a sympathetic "Michael". I'll be sharing this with my university students and colleagues alike.
Loved it! Congrats to the students who created this work and to the faculty member who had the courage to let them do it. I'm sharing it with fellow faculty members at my college.
good job! Would have been nice to include criticisms of students using technology during class--I mean, there are good/bad points worth exploiting there too. Over all great effort and involvement! It came out great.
Amusing on a surface level but really does emphasize the "technology cuz we can" approach and leaves the viewer with the idea that this is the right way to go about it.
It also fosters the notion of "technology is computers."
I have to admit the floppy joke was pretty funny, but how many really got the powerpoint joke? :)
This video truly does focus on the issues that are happening around campuses today. Professors not using technology in the proper manner and students being on a different level compared to the professors. I love how it mocks how the use of technology varies but at the same time the video adds great entertainment. It follows The Office to a precise manner, which I love!
awesome!

I didn't say I didn't "get" the humor. Things can "fail" at being funny to some people. It doesn't mean that people don't "get" the humor.
