A Vision of Students Today

A short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. Created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University.

@Reinova I bring myself to learn something everyday, just not enough time to understand it.

Im just saying if a student really want to learn he does it! He doesn't need a teacher to encourage him. Moreover,The students should be the ones that encourage the teacher to make a better and more interested class by reading and asking him questions, so the teacher will also be put in test.

I dont know if they obligated you to buy books, and readings dont have to be realted to our life, they show you differents lifes, differents thounghts, differents subjects, so you can include it to your life or leave behind. Books give you a better perspective of life in general.

I don't think the problem is technology but is not the solution either. A Laptop doesn't make a student better. If a teacher doesn't know your name doesnt mean he's a bad teacher. think it of these way , you have only a few teachers but they have hundred of students. They are suposse to teach, thats all. How they make the students being part of the class, that's what it matters.

They say they didn't cause these problems like it's not there responsibility. And plus we need more hours of school per day.

I agree!

[Reinova]

So writing on a chalkboard will solve all these problems because it is cheaper than most people make in a year and it forces the lecturer to MOVE??? HOW STUPID IS THIS??? I agree that the problems are overwhelming but people are WAY off the track here. How can you blame technology while you can't bring yourself to LEARN something?!
