From the video I was amazed of the number of different areas of life that are changing that I didn't know about. It really open my eyes on some areas that i thought the United States was best in. It was really like the info on technology and how it is growing so rapidly.I did not know half the information in the video so learned a variety interesting things happening in the world today. I look forward to seeing how much the numbers change in a few years. One thing that really surpise me was how low we were on using the internet.



I thought that the video was unique. It was cool them using Rip Van Winkle as the main character. I thought their was two points that I like in the video is the presentation of new technology and how some things stay the same. I like the two view points that they show through the video. Because some people today don't appreciate the older things that were the first steps in that leaded to the advancements of today. It was a very good way of showing the points they were trying to express.



Sir Ken Robinson points on bring creativity back to school, I agree with that we need to offer a balance between all the subjects that we teach. Because, some people learn through other areas of school. I think we should encourage people to do what they love to do for a job. I do believe we should be looking for ways to students to do what their passions is whether that is in areas other than what the world views important.

The approach that Ms. Vicki Davis does I really do like because it allows students to explore and learn and exchange what they learned with other people. That way you are involving the students which makes them want to learn because teacher would not being just the only one being in front of the class.
