Thinking activity on Education and Technology.

Hello, Everyone warmly welcome to my blog! This was an academic task which was given by Dilip sir in context of ELT :2. It was about Education and Technology in which we have to see below videos and share our views about that .

  • Video - 1: Sir Ken Robinson: Changing Paradigm :- 




• In  the very first  video the speaker Sir Ken Robinson talks about"Changing Paradigm" in the context of Education and Technology.So,here we mainly talk about Education. So, speaker first says that give some students to some challenges and then see there are three kind of rewards for different kind of students. From that we reward most to top performer and we ignore the lower perfomer but have ever thought about the middle students who don't count in top or lower. What happens with them ?It happens in current scenario also that in whichever kind of competition of any kind of field we always remember winner or looser. So,it was a very bad condition for middlers . Then speaker talks about the job . In ancient there was easy to get job you just have to do your graduation and you able to get job but time has change now and now with graduation or post-graduation there is no guarantee for job. Further in job to paid more to employees you can get more work. So, I personally see at many places like ,in factory or mall where my some of relatives are working so,if they do overtime on job they get extra salary for it. Then he said that there are 3 factors which are leading to better performance & personal satisfaction:- 1) Autonomy.  2) Mastery  3) Purpose .so, Autonomy is our desire to be self- directed ; I think self directed is better than anything. We know what we do then for what are waiting? Was someone told us that do this or that only then we do is not a good idea.In mastery there was a kind of Management so it was a great if you want complience. But if you want engagement which is what we want in the our life.Here he gave example from Atlassian and Australian companies so there they can do whatever they want and with any way but at at the end the Honour of the company will see the results of the work done by employees. So, this is how they works.Infact some people are doing work not for only money but they are doing for they peace or delight and pleasure.



  • Video 2:Sugata Mitra: School in the cloud- SOLE :- 





• In the second video by Sugata Mitra in which he deal with the School in the Cloud :- SOLE - Self Organised Learning Environment.The first I like this video and it's ideas that he talks about Future of Learning. So, first the speaker says about the 19th centuries's people that how we done our study in school and in present time students are getting more facilities with technology. He told that in Victorian time they have done with bureaucratic administrative machine. In 21st century all children having Mobile phones in their home so, they are habituated with the very tiny age. Then we have to think about that what kind of job they will be does.I mostly like his idea of SOLE where he does such kind of experiments with the different kind of students at many country. Hole in the wall with computers and within such short time students can get its browse whether it was in English language.Even they don't know English they never give up they are trying. If I am giving live example of our English department then we also have a kind of all facilities or technology and we also have teachers who teach us. So, we don't have to bother but we have a wish to learn new kind of thing with day to day life. I think we are very lucky to have a such a great teachers and technology. I wish and hope that I also come in to help of some students who don't get this kind of Facilities.If we gave mobile and net to students then they can give better answer than teacher. Moreover he says that,we have to think about learning; which was the product of educational Self-organization,if you allow the educational process to self organised then learning emerges it's not about making learning happen it's about letting it happen.
SOLE :- broadband+ collaboration+encouragement and admiration.In addition he says that the teacher has to only raise the questions and then can admire of students. At the end of the video he shares his wish which was very good and helpful for human being.



  • Video 3: Sugata Mitra: Future of Learning :- 









• In 3rd video the speaker was also Sugata Mitra who here also throw some glimpse on technology. Here students in primary have to listen the instructions by teachers like ; Seat quietly, don't make noise,keep mum,pay attention,listen me and try to remember, improve your handwriting. But now it happens that science is discovering a machine which can replace by teachers. We can saw in this video that without the help of any teacher students can get easily with some period of time. The speaker secondly deal with the invented of paper and says it is difficult to get good teachers in remote places and group of children can learn to use the internet on their own. Students can aslo learn about science, biology,chemestry, about DNA . Another thing was a concept of granny he said. At last he said that children can search accurately by themselves what if they land themselves in trouble. Pupils should be taught to recognise that the past is represented and interpreted in different ways and to give reasons for this.




  • Video 4:Salman Khan: Let's use video to reinvent education :-





• Now in 4th video the speaker Salman Khan  talks with the topic like :- Let's use video to reinvent education. Here as he was a young man and he knows today's needs and facilities. So he gives importance of Video which could be related to any field. We can see video in many languages of any text,book,novel, play if we don't understand it by reading. So, videos plays vital role which clears our background for our issues. With the help of videos of Khan academy teacher are happy because there was a app named Khan academy in which we can see videos annd easily learn it. So, teachers are using it for flipping learning. Students have to only see videos at home with any depression or tension then the homework kind of exercise will be teach by teachers.Flipped learning was a very good learning phase where students can get alot information and knowledge related to syllabus as well as out.so, in Khan academy there are many categories from which we can learn and they provided the exercise for our practice and at last they give us badges or kind of certificates.So, in a way it helps us alot and we keep it continues with this kind of App.



    Video 5: Marc Prensky: Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants  :- 







 • In the5th video was by Marc Prensky :- in which he talk about Digital Natives,Digital Immigrants. So here this above two words are using for Two generation. One is Digital Natives means the people who born in the era of digital or technology. As they parents must have mobile or they surely Television at home. So ,they grown up with the technology. In recent time if we don't know anything or we want to learn then it was so easy to learn from Google. Within some minutes we can learn all. If I gave my example of my school days then we don't have any options,if we don't pay attention at school with teacher's lecturer then we can repeat it or ask teacher. So, then we miss it. But now in 21st century there was nothing like this : they can many times from Google . So it becomes easy for today's students. But now the Digital Immigrants who don't born with the Technology. We don't have even smart phone to our parents.  Now at young age we came to know about it and  we have to learn it.so,we have to first learn and then we can use it. 



    Video 6: David Crystal: The Effect of New Technologies on Engish: - 

 • :-  In the 6th video the speaker was :- David Crystal who talks about the "The Effect of New Technologies on English". So, he starts with that when new technologies comes along it influences language.so, as we are belong to the 21st century that we can feel and see the effect of technology on every kind of social platforms. Technology has major influence on English language. If we talk about the 20th century's people then they don't have particular facilities like Mobile Phone or internet and technology. They believe telephone as a disaster thing and also they also believe that internet has a very bad effect on people's mind. As it is showing good as well as bad things,it has no boundary or limitation. They are not well occupied with 4G kind of internet.He talks about many social media like YouTube , Twitter,who arrives in recent times.So, I personally feel as I am using this many kind of platform in my daily life; it has it's own features.These apps like you tube, Facebook, Twitter are using more nowadays; it is helping us to know about the world or people's current activities. If I am giving my example then I am posting post on Facebook on whatever new happend at my academic or non academic life ; then it improve my language as well as my ability to think critically and my writing skills are growing.As we know that the coin has two sides; same as every matter has it's two sides. Here I mean to say that everybody are saying that internet and social media are not good for students but I am not agree with it, it totally dependent upon us that we are going to use it. If we want to learn good things then there was nobody to stop us.



    Video 7: David Crystal: The Biggest Challange for English Language Teachers in the times of Internet:


    Video 8: David Crystal: Texting is 'Good' for English Language :- 


Both video's views are merge below:- 

 • Here the speaker David crystal try to touch upon the idea ; The Biggest Challenge for English Language Teachers in the times of internet.So, I am very excited to listen this video, because in future I am also going to be teacher.So, first I want to clarify the difference between our teachers through which we are studied and today's teachers . So, when I studied; for me my teacher was the full package of knowledge, I was believe that only teacher has knowledge only he can taught me. Accept teacher we can't even able to think, it has one most effecting reason was social media, technology. But today's generation's students getting major facility and they are more smart. If we example of Mobile,then if we give mobile to little children then they can easily get all functions and they can handle it rather than us.So , today's teachers have to be more alert and two step further than students. Our sir always mentioned that Every generation has far better or smarter than it's back generation. As here speaker mention that the most difficult job is to teach ,so I am agree with that.  I am thinking about my future,when I be the teacher then what should I do ? How I can be more smart or two step ahead then my student?In the last video the speaker as same as above video which talk on one interesting thing; Texting is "Good" for English Language. So, here David Crystal argue and give all appropriate answer of his against counter point with very well. So, I feel so amazing with this debate. Here we have to see is that the questions are also raising by all with a well manner. So the thing which we have to learn is we have to learn that how to ask or raised questions rather than believing in whatever giving us.Here he said that 80% texting are done by adults. Texting has starts late 90s. I think texting is the most integral part of technology and every kind of platform through we are passing.




Thank you.........
