Additional Assignment 3

a.  To me, the most important thing that Sir Ken Robinson said was:  "Many brilliant people think they are not."  This just speaks volumes.  So many children (and adults) are truly brilliant and amazing people, who are capable of learning great multitudes, but they just THINK they can't.

b. I wouldn't say that I necessarily totally DISagre with Sir Ken Robinson, but I am motivated to do research on ADHD in the Eastern parts of our country.  I am interested in studying about whether or not medication is the answer and so on.  I am curious.

c.  Well, obviously we are all in college to earn a degree to make a living off of.  Sir Ken Robinson says that we aren't guaranteed jobs with degrees anymore.  I disagree.  Maybe at this point we aren't guaranteed jobs, but I believe they will come about again.  We are taught in EDM 310 about how doing things like they were done in the past (education, teaching in general, lack of technology, technology illiteracy, etc.) is no longer working; Sir Ken says the same thing.

d.  I can first earn my degree, get a JOB, be a successful educator with a purpose.  I can help my generation learn that they NEED technology, especially in the education field.  I can help raise standards- first for myself, then for my students, and my colleagues.  I can help others see how truly brilliant they are.

e.  I loved the presentation; it was SO NEAT!!  If I were to do this in a group, I would like to be the 'author' and/or the 'narrator'.
