Mr. Winkle Wakes
I love this video. The fact that it's in cartoon form helps it to relate to almost anyone. Even children can relate and understand the concept of the world changing and the need to be a part of the change. It makes you aware that you can't just sit around and let the world pass you by or you will become lost. The fact that the school system is the only thing that hasn't changed is disturbing. There is so much available to teach and learn. Why schools and educators are not taking advantage of it is alarming and it is something I hope to change as a future educator. The United States cannot get their students ahead in the world if they're starting them off behind in the first place.

Well, schools have changed. They teach to the test more than ever. And there are other changes as well. Just few that are taking them in the direction that I think is necessary.

ReplyDeletelol i thought it was a cute way too of getting people to grasp the concept of what the video was trying to say.
