Week 8

Please post your reflection on the two Ted Talk videos.

20 comments:

  1. The first Ted talk I watched was a video called “Don't kill your language” created by Suzanne Talhouk. It talked about the importance of expressing your language and not conforming to what others think because your language may not be “important” or “primary”. In America the main language is English, but there are over 100 other languages that are spoken throughout each state. As an English teacher I know I will get a diverse group of students and I will always allow them to express themselves in their writing whether that is writing in their native tongue, sharing cultural ideals or traditions that are important to them. As educators we shouldn’t knock down who and where our students came from, but rather not make them conform to the stereotypical American. Everyone is important and knowing who your students are inside and out if very important to their educational experience.

    My second Ted talk was done by Laura Boushnak called “For these women, reading is a daring act”. It talks about the main idea that half of the women in the world lack basic writing and reading skills. Laura travels to Yemen, Egypt and Tunisia to talk about these women: schoolgirls, political activists, and a 60-year-old mom who are going through this challenge in present day. Growing up in America I never had to think about these challenges of being a woman in another country. I always had the privilege to an education and to learn the same as men, but these women she talks about in her video are facing this challenge with the people around them because of their culture. Some of these women are looked down upon for being literate because they don’t want to conform to the cultural for women where they are from. For me this video was very inspiring because it made me look at different parts of the world and something I take for granted every day other women don’t even get the opportunity. It will help me be unbiased with the diverse classroom I will have in the future.

  2. The First Ted talk I watched was Gever Tulley: "Lessons through Tinkering". Gever created a schooling system that is different from your average schooling called Tinkering. Within Tinkering there are no tests or grades- just exploring and building. When students arrive they are given real tools and the goal of this school is to ensure that students leave with a better sense of how to make things than when they arrived. My favorite idea from this video was when Tulley says, "every step in a project is a step closer to sweet success". I think that the idea of tinkering is a very different educational approach but it shows how success can be shown outside of your typical classroom environment.

    The second Ted video I watched was Jarrett J. Krosoczka's Why Lunch Ladies are Heroes. This video had a great message to me because it shows how far a simple thank you or even being polite can go. In this video Jarett explains how close he became with his school lunch lady and how taken back she was by his simple kindness. This video proves that you have no idea what any other person could be going through at a specific and just being friendly can impact them so much. The way that Jarrett impacted his lunch lady was incredible and I think it is great that he is honoring all lunch ladies with their National Lunch Lady day!

  3. The first Ted talk video that I watched was “3 Rules to Spark Learning” by Ramsey Musallam. This video talked about three ways to get kids interested and how to expand on their curiosity. He starts off by telling a story of how he had a medical condition back in 2010 and he asked his doctor where he got his confidence. The doctor told him three rules that he lives by, which inspired Ramsey to come up with three rules he wants to apply to his lesson planning. He then goes on to talking about his daughters and how one of them keeps asking “Why?” and he loves answering it, but he’s worried that her future teachers aren’t going to foster her curiosity. I thought that this was very interesting because most teachers just want them to memorize what they need to know and not ask questions about why it’s like that. If you get them curious in what they are learning and asking questions then they will want to learn more and be more interested.

    The second Ted talk video that I watched was “Teachers Need Real Feedback” by Bill Gates. This video really interests me because it brought my attention to something that I didn’t know since I haven’t spent full time in a classroom yet. He talks about how every year the only feedback that teachers in the United States receive is the word “satisfactory”. He said that if this is the only feedback he got about anything he wouldn’t feel confident enough to keep on going. He then talks about MET, Measures of Effective Teaching, which is when observers watch videos of teachers teaching and rate them based off of different practices. Then he shows a video of a teacher using the MET program, but she records herself and watches them every day and takes notes about what she could have done better or what she did well. I really liked learning about the MET program, because seeing yourself doing something would benefit teachers a lot with what they need to improve on.

  4. The first video I watched was "Hey Science Teachers Make It Fun." This video was of a man giving a presentation to both teachers/parents and students about how teacher science has become to serious. He showed us what he meant by giving a short lesson about viruses and bacteria but using a very unique teaching style. What he did was teach the lesson by telling a story almost in fairytale sense. He teaches younger students but the point he was trying to stress was that students just aren't getting the main points. He argues that in order to get the main points across to these kids you must connect the lesson to things that matter to them. This made a lot of sense to me, If teachers taught lessons be relating it to things that go on in my life or that I care about I'd probably be more willing to study and understand and retain the knowledge a lot easier.

    The second video I watched was "Talk Nerdy to Me." This video was of a lady giving a short speech to a large crowd of adults basically saying we need better communication from our scientists and engineers. She asked them to make ideas accessible. Along with saying that she also asked for them to present science in a more simpler way for those who aren't scientists and engineers. She quoted Einstein saying "make science simple but no simpler." I think if scientists and engineers did this more people would be interested in the topics they're studying or the things they're working on. Overall it would probably get more people interested in sciences and maybe even wanting to go into those fields.

  5. The very first Ted Talk that I watched was Colin Powell: Kids Need Structure. I choose this Ted Talk because my focus area is special needs, and it is a proven fact that students that come from low structured, low income families are more likely to have a “diagnosed learning disability”. I put quotations around diagnosed learning disability because some of the times, a student will be diagnosed with a learning disability such as ADD or ADHA because it is easier to diagnose a medical problem than it is a problem with how the student is being brought. I personally believe that teachers should make a huge impact on a child’s life, and encourage hen to be better, and teach them knowledge as well as life lessons. But there is only so much a teacher can do. Parents must be involved in a student’s life. Give them structure. They need to know how to behave in public, when addressing an elder, and so forth.
    https://www.ted.com/talks/colin_powell_kids_need_structure?language=en

    The second Ted Talk that I choose to watch was Stuart Brown: Play is more than just fun. I choose this video to watch because, I will be teaching Kindergarten through second grade special needs students. Children these young learn through play. They take their fictional world roles,, and are ab le to relate them back to real life situations. Later on in this video it talks about how we are all forever learners. Just because we grow up, doesn’t mean that we no longer learn through playing games. We are all playful, when we play, we have fun, when a person is enjoying what they are doing, and it is proven to make it easier to remember the material being covered. Joyful learning, is the best learning.

  6. The first ted talk I wanted to engage in was "Why thinking you're ugly is bad for you" by Meaghan Ramsey. I wanted to watch this because in today's society, there are going to be children that get made fun of maybe because they aren't the right size or have the right clothes. I wanted to see how other adults helped children with this kind of problem. Meaghan stressed that everyone is unique and different and that is completely okay. She said people actually google how not to be ugly. Meaghan said kids go off from what their parents say and what other kids say. A mother might tell their kid that they are the most beautiful human alive and another child might tell that kid that she or he is ugly. That child might not know what to believe but go to more of the negative comments. "Where are people looking to for inspiration" says Meaghan.

    The second ted talk I watched was the "What it takes to be a leader" by Roselinde Torres. Roselinde goes on first by explaining that a leader is like a hero to some people. Everyone should look up to a leader or be a leader. She then ask questions like What makes good leaders? You have to have responsibility and plans for the future. She goes in more of a business leader. Alot of her information could go with a leader such as a teacher. Every teacher should be a leader for their children. Leadership is a big deal all around and it can be frustrating because if you're a leader, you are trusted and need to be trustworthy. I wish she would've went into more leadership roles other than just being a leader in business but it was good information to engage in.

  7. The first ted talk I watched was Adam Spencer's "Why I fell in love with monster prime numbers". I definitely found it interesting, especially the physical descriptions of how big the largest known prime numbers are when actually written out. His description of how to find prime numbers, and why we find the ones that we do, relate closely to what I have recently done in my number theory class. He uses the form of 2^n-1 in his slideshow explaining to the audience that it is a form to find most prime numbers, and although I'm sure its due to a lack of showtime, I wish he would have gotten into the other forms as well, such as 6n+-1 and 4n+1 just to show how else primes can be found. His breakdown of the largest prime known per decade was a good visual aid as well and just shows how minuscule each previous number was, even more so with the computer age coming to be.

    The second ted talk I watched was Arthur Benjamin's "Performance of Mathemagic". Although this video was a lot more attention grabbing and the math involved was funner for a show, it is technically the easier math, due to the lack of knowledge surrounding prime numbers. Art combined his extensive and swift mathematics knowledge with the use of volunteers in the crowd to form a sort of talent show/magic act. He spent the show racing calculators to find squares and using his mathematics to tell information about where certain dates fell during a week. This ties in more with the first couple weeks of my number theory class; one of his tricks was even very similar to a "trick" we saw the first day that used the divisibility rule of 9 to guess numbers people were thinking which made it easier for me to understand.

  8. The first Ted Talk I viewed was Salman Khan's "Let's use video to reinvent education". The massive amounts of classrooms that are using khan academy now is incredible. Video is such i great tool I believe, Students feel very comfortable with it. They can re-watch lessons on their own if they forget how to do certain things and not feel embarrassed by continuously asking their teachers or tutors. Khan academy videos is based on math lessons and sample tests but i believe all school subjects can benefit greatly from video education.

    The second Ted Talk I viewed was Diana Laufenberg "How to Learn? From Mistakes". She discusses a few things she has learned being a teacher but the main thing is allowing kids to fail is a major part of the learning process for students. She allows her students to go off and try things themselves and get creative. failure is instructional in the learning process, as a teacher my goal will be to make sure kids understand the information not a major focus on the grades at first. I will be more than willing to offer a student a re-take on a test or a late turn-in of an assignment if it means they will learn the information.

  9. The first Ted talk that I watched was by Christina Domenech on "Poetry that frees the soul." She had an incredible story about the redemptive quality of poetry within the walls of a prison. Christina was asked to be a part of a writing workshop in the prison. The first thing I noticed was that she asked the prisoners about why they wanted a writing workshop and listened to their answers. This is how she decided that she wanted to teach poetry so that the prisoners would have an opportunity to speak in the poems what they couldn't speak of inside the walls of the prison. She took into account what she and the prisoners had in common, which was language, the workshop, and the beginning of poetry and recognized the inequality of knowledge in the students, and worked her lessons around this. She started small with reading short poems with the prisoners, and allowed them each to grow in writing their own poems, and later set up an event for people to hear the poems. From this video and Christina's story I learned teaching techniques and about the redemptive quality poetry contains that I believe should be addressed in schools when poetry is taught. This is something I hope to take with me when I begin to teach.

    The second Ted talk I watched was Christopher Emdin on "Teach teachers how to create magic." Christopher creates the argument that aspiring educators are taught theory and standards without being taught how to create "magic" in the classroom that leaves students on the edge of their seats, yearning to lick up every ounce of knowledge coming out of an educator's mouth. He proposes that educators study those who contain an extra spark in a performance that draws audience members in and leaves them on their toes, such as rappers, and a pastor in a black church. He urges that this particular magic can be taught and that all educators have the ability to be engaging. This video encouraged me to not settle for just theory and content, but to look for ways that I will be able to engage and motivate students through the way that I teach. I hope that my teaching can be engaging for the students and that how I teach will leave them wanting to learn more.

  10. http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity?The first ted talk I watched was how school kills creativity by Ken Robinson. He addresses the problems with today’s education and how it set limits for children. By putting children in a confined room and making them sit for hours with out activities or moving around it forces their mentality to want to slow down instead of expanding. He also talks about how every student has a talent and is good at something but everyone is good at different things. When you test children all the same as if they had the same abilities it is not fair the students who are not as talented in the area being tested.

  11. The second ted talk I watched was why is ‘x’ the unknown by Terry Moore. He made his talk more on the funny side and explained the reason why we use x as a factor in math for the part we don’t know dates back to many centuries ago. It comes from the Arabic word شيءfor the word something, something undefined and since the sounds of these words are very hard to pronounce and translate into European language they replaced it with ‘x’.https://www.ted.com/talks/terry_moore_why_is_x_the_unknown#t-188888

  12. The first ted talk I watched was Michael Sandel on the lost art of democratic debate. Being a future history and politics teacher, and have taken many of these classes in college and high school, debate is an important tool. This is something I would hope to utilize in stimulating learning in the classroom. Sandel does a great job pointing out the problems with debate in society today, and he also creates everyday scenarios of how we can better instil the necessary values for debate. I feel that this is something that can't be lost. Students should be able to challenge each other's ideas in a respectful light, something every person should be capable of doing. Debate stimulates thinking and intellectual growth.

    The second talk I watched was Zahra Langhi on the Libyan revolution and why it wasn't successful. I have been very interested in this topic and other political issues overseas, so to hear a firsthand experience on the madness in Libya lately was interesting. Langhi is an activist for women's rights, and her political group gained a monumental 17% of the congress in Libya after Gaddafi's oppression and corruption had ended. I very much agreed with the values she talked about being necessary for a peaceful, free nation, though her means of creating a stable government in Libya were vague. Langhi called for not only more women involved with politics but femine values, these I agree are necessary for a free, democratic state, but I felt she didn't provide an idea for action. With the militias, and still on going corruption in Libya, I wonder how they will recover and create this democratic government that is fair and inclusive. I found this an interesting topic to think about and hear a firsthand account.

  13. The 1st ted talk I watched was "Terry Moore: Why is 'x' the unknown?" Moore tells that the what we have come to know as western science, mathematics, and engineering was first worked out by the Persians, Arabs, and the Turks. The difficulty was trying to translate their language into our language. At the time of translation, the Spanish people didn't have the the "sh" sound so instead of putting what was exactly there they decided to just put "x" as the unknown number. I enjoying this talk because I love to know where things come from and the logic of things, so it made this talk interesting for me.

    The second ted talk I watched was "Jean-Bapiste Michel: The mathematics of history." Jean talks about how math is revealing patterns of history, such as the math behind wars and other changes in history. He 1st shows that wars that are 100 times deadlier tend to be 6 times smaller. The way we perceive quantities is unique, because if we have already sent 100,000 troops to fight then we think nothing of sending 10,000 more troops. He closes out saying that the mathematics language can help explain new trends in history and maybe in the future predict whats going to happen. This talk was my favorite of the two because one of my favorite subjects is also history and i think that it is fascinating that we may be able to predict the future with mathematics.

  14. The first Ted Talk that I watched was given by Rita Pierson: Every Kid Needs a Champion. She explained that all students need to feel well liked and as though they have value in order to succeed. Rita mentioned that she was once speaking to a co-worker and the co-worker explained that she didn’t like her students and all she was required to do was come in and teach a lesson. Rita responded to this by explaining to her co-worker that students do not learn from people who they do not like. Rita made it clear that there needs to be a certain level of respect in order for students to be successful. In this video Rita explained how one of her students received an 18 out of 20 on a quiz. Instead of writing -18 on the student’s paper, she wrote a +2 with a smiley face. She said that the student was very confused by this and she simply told the student that he/she was trying, and would learn from his/her mistakes for the next quiz. This was amazing to me because we are always shown the negative sides to things and never the positives. Even if a student did not do well on an assignment it does not mean that he/she is incapable and it is very important that teachers help their students to recognize that. Ms. Pierson helped to open my eyes a little wider on to what it really means to be there for your students and help them to succeed.

    The second video that I watched was by Malcolm London: High School Training Ground. This video was in rap form and really allowed for Malcolm’s voice to be heard. He spoke about our school systems and our society. He explained who difficult it is to be a good student if you have a bad home life. He also explained the hardships of going to school in the inner city. This Ted Talk really spoke to me because after graduation I have to teach in an inner city school for at least 2 years. This helped me to better understand the day-to-day struggles that many students are facing. I believe this Ted Talk could also help my future students to feel a sense of security in the classroom.

  15. The first Ted Talk I watched was “Teachers Need Real Feedback” by Bill Gates. He explains teachers in the United States aren’t getting the feedback they need to improve. Most of the best nations in the world in education have a formal system for giving new teachers feedback. These nations are reaping the benefits of an educated populous, which of course opens many other doors. He then explains his solution to the problem where he headed up an experiment with American educators that included a rating system. He found that teachers who were given constructive feedback from senior teachers and students naturally improved. This means their students learned more…. Which is the goal, right?

    The next Ted Talk I watched was “A Circle of Caring” by Jok Church. He tells a story about a teacher who made a huge impact on his life in high school by a simple act, letting him use the staff restroom. He was alienated and beat up in school because of his sexual preference. This abuse mostly occurred in the boy’s restroom. He later reconnected with her after he became a successful cartoonist/educator and helped her through a tough time. This talk spoke to me because it shows that teachers can really make a huge impact on a young person’s life either negatively or positively.

  16. The first Ted talk i watched was by Terry Moore. It was about "why the x was unknown." Terry Moore made this video very easy to follow by using humor and many examples. He talks about the letter "x" and how we are always hearing it and using it for unknown objects or numbers, especially in math classes. He goes on to talk about how "x" confuses people and we typically consider it to stand for nothing, which is partially true as it is derived from an arabic word meaning "something unknown." He then explains how using x is beneficial in equations and why it is the go to "insert letter." This video was quick and factual, which i enjoy.

    The second video i watched was called "A circle of Caring" which was produced by Jok Church. Church explains the story of a teacher in his high school career who had a tremendously positive impact on his life. He explains how he was bullied and harassed for his sexuality and sexual preference and couldn't escape these "bullies." This was until his teacher then started allowing him to use the "staff only" bathroom as a safe haven and place where he could relax and take a moment to collect himself and feel safe. I really enjoyed this video because Church illustrates and brings to life the importance a teacher can have in a student's career by taking the time to notice the little things, act out,and care for their pupils. It inspires me to go out of my way for those kids i am around.

  17. The first TED talk I watched was called “Teach teachers how to create magic” by Christopher Emdin. What Christopher was trying to hit home was that institutions are pumping out teachers into the world without teaching them how to truly grasp the attention of their students in a way that will have them excited to wake up and come to school the next day. This really stuck out to me because he was mainly referring to inner-city school districts and how black culture and the standardized school system currently in place do not correlate. Christopher gave the examples of elderly men in a barbershop, a pastor at a black church, and a few others. The thing these people have in common is that they are not taught educational theories day in and day out to earn a degree, yet they have the power to catch peoples attention and get their message across better than the average professor or teacher. Why is this? Mr. Emdin says it is because instead of teaching us future teachers how to emulate these successful approaches in the art of speech, we are constantly tossed theory upon theory with little retainable substance. I think most teachers would agree that they learn most about their subject in preparation for their lesson. So instead of focusing so much on meeting certain requirements in college, should we not be taught this art of speech? If most of our education as teachers was geared towards this maybe public schools would have better results.

    The second TED talk I found very intriguing. It was called, “Life lessons through tinkering” by Gever Tulley. This talk was about Mr. Tulley and a camp that he put on that allowed kids to “tinker” and learn how to problem solve by trial and error. Throughout his talk he shows kids having the time of their life building and creating things. There were children as young as seven years old making a wooden roller coaster and a tree house! I found this to be extremely cool, I wish this had been around when I was little. I feel like hands on learning like this not only gets kids away from the monotony of a traditional classroom, but also teaches them skills such as how to perform minor repairs or just how to bring out their creative side in a way they are not able to at home. And yet we are rapidly doing away with industrial arts in public schools. To me this is completely backwards, my high school was one of the last in Dayton to still have all shop classes still active and I have to say that some days, that was the only thing getting me through the day. Some kids are not star students, yet can absolutely thrive and create masterpieces in this environment. I think it would be extremely beneficial to reconsider cutting programs that allow students to explore their strengths, whether it is a dance class or a shop class, they are all important. After all, our job as teachers is to help kids grow, not to hinder them in an effort to save a miniscule amount of money.

  18. The second video that I watched was a talk given by Bill Gates. The first half of his talk he discusses issues of Malaria in Africa and diseases that are carried by mosquitos. He talks about all that goes into solving these types of world problems. He talks about how these issues can be taken care of depending on the effort going into it. He uses statistics to share how there is a higher investment in medication for people who are balding, than an investment in taking care of this disease. For the second part of his talk he asks a second question "How do we make great teachers?" And Gates then dives into the educational world and what it means to be a "great" teacher. He talks about the education system itself and how the effectiveness of learning is based on how "great" our teachers are. He then shares what he believes that it means to be a great teacher and how to be a great teacher. He looks into accounts of having a masters degree, or doing teach for america, but the thing that really makes a teacher "great" he found to be their past performance. One a teacher has taught for 3 years, they are not going to change after that, and it all comes from past performance. I believe this is an important idea to understand. I don't believe that anyone can be a teacher, it takes a special person to be a teacher. We all have areas in life that we are good at, and that is why in college we choose areas in which we want to specialize in. Just because someone has the knowledge, doesn't mean they can teach it successfully. This also reminds me of the first video I watched that talked about math education. If a teacher is not successful in making the content engaging and intriguing, then students are not going to learn it. Teachers are behind the scenes in almost every area of life. I believe it is sometimes overlooked how important teachers are to our society. We grow up going to school, but do we have a true appreciation of the people that lead us through it?

  19. The first Ted talk that I watched was called "Math class needs a makeover." Dan Meyer describes what our math education looks like and how it needs to be changed. He says that students are not engaged. They are learning how to solve problems by memorizing formulas and plugging in number values. He questions whether or not they actually understand the meaning behind these numbers and word problems. He says that students are looking for the fast and easy way to get problems done without caring about actually being "problem solvers." Dan talks about how we need to be changing the way we teach math so that it is more engaging for students so that they WANT to solve problems. We need to be making kids THINK. Instead of giving them the formula and numbers and saying solve, we need them to find the equations for themselves. We need to turn these word problems into real world problems that they can visualize. Dan talks about how he takes the problems in the book and creates a visual by using actual video that he uses to represent the picture from the book. He then cuts the problem to make it so simple that there are not steps into finding the "answer," but he cuts it to the chase and asks the students to think about what the question truly means in representation of the visual. The students are then forced to wonder and to try to figure out the information they need on their own, rather than having it handed to them. Through this process the students are building the problem. I think this is so important to do, especially in math classes. If you ask a student what the math they are doing actually means, most times they will not have a clue. It also teaches an appreciation for the problem solving that they are doing, because they can actually see how it applies to their life.
