PLN 4: Pay Attention

“How do students learn? Are they impersonal, logical, spatial, intrapersonal, musical, Linguistic, Naturalist, or Bodily-Kinesthetic learners?” In the video Pay Attention by an unknown publisher, technology matters to both a child and a teen’s education. This video explained how now a day’s people are digital learners, and how we got that way is from all of the new technology that has come out, and everyone is familiarizing themselves with. For example, today’s college graduates have/had spent ten thousand hours playing video games, over ten thousand hours talking on their cell phones, and roughly twenty thousand hours watching television. As digital learners we send two hundred thousand emails and instant messages by the time they graduate college. Schools around the world should respect the fact that people now days learn better when they are focused on a certain type of technology, such as iPods, podcasts might impact millions of people, and some people would learn better from that type of thing. Who knows, we might someday be totally computerized, and we might not ever need to go to school again.
