The Future of Learning: A Networked Society
This
video covered many topics but one that stood out to me was when they were
talking about students conforming to schools. This is because we are taught in
school that everyone has a different learning style and we need to try and
reach out to each. The video compared that in the industrial revolution
children were conformed to do jobs in the factories. This was then brought into
the schools where they took a factory type approach and made the students
conform to the system. When in reality like the video said the system is there
for the students. Yes there does have to be some structure but it does not have
to be like a factory line. In the video they brought up the issue of ADD and
how these students are medicated to conform to the system. I believe this is
one hundred percent true. Student whom have ADD take the medication and are no
longer who they are. Some medications are so strong that are completely dazed
and in that case don’t learn. Personally, I have seen this as I was an EA and
can relate how the student is medicated to the point that they are dazed and
not them self. The new program that they introduced is called Knewton. This
program will help with designing lessons for each student and make it
individual to that child’s learning. I think this may create problems, as a
teaching job would then become a 24/7 job trying to create a lesson for each
child in the class. The really neat thing about this was that I found Knewton
told you when the child learns best and what subjects they learn best at what
time. For example Knewton will
tell the teacher the exact time that the student learns math the best. This way
during that time the teacher can personalize that students lesson and get them
to do math at that certain time. I think this is great but I also think it
could be a problem in the future as in a classroom there is so much going on in
one classroom and a teacher would have to create 25 different lessons based on
the learner. I am very interested to see if this system goes into schools in
the future, as I would be interested in using it to see how students respond to
it.
