First Article
This article relates back to one of the first questions we were asked in this class. When we were asked this question, I was highly confused as to why we would be talking about it in this class. After reading the transcript of the video, I was very surprised. I believe that as we found out, a lot of teachers believe that students already know certain material. Teachers may think the information is common knowledge when it isn't at all. Reading this, has really made me think of how many times I, as a teacher, have assumed that my students know certain materials when they don't.
First Video:
I actually use the Khan Academy videos with my students. I do not use them to teach my students but I use them for review. Each day I post extra resources to go along with each lesson that we learn daily. I would have to agree with what the video was talking about. Students today are given videos or lesson that just tell them the answers. If people/students think that they already know the answer, they will not learn the correct answer. With video's, people chose to listen to the material that they want to. I believe that we will still need teachers in our society. We can't just give students video's after videos and expect them to learn the material because sometimes students just can't retain the information needed.
Second Video:
Well a lot of people seemed to think the same thing about the seasons. I also believed that it had to do with the distance of the Earth from the Sun. I didn't know that the Sun only moved 3% away from the earth. One thing that I didn't like about this video was that it didn't necessarily tell the right answer or agree with an answer. It only talked about what answers were incorrect.
