Double Entry Journal #11

    Watching this video brought some intersting issues to the for front that as just a teaching student never thought about. Yes teaching and the process of teaching is messy. You have to think of what to teach, how to teach it and if the process you are using is working. In the area of how to teach; pedogogy, there are so many factors that have to be taken in to consideration as well as content knowledge of the subject being taught. I liked how it said that the best teachers are not always a person who is the subject, such as a mathmatiction teaching math, or a psycologist teaching psycology. Its how you teach the knowlege and knowing HOW to teach it.
    It is also getting more difficult to teach with technology advancing at such a rapid rate. Who knows that what we are even learning in this class will be relavent in 3 years. (I hope it is because I a enjoying all this). So we have to think of ways to keep up with it all and then learn it all ourselves and find ways to use it relevently in the classroom in regards to the content we are teaching.  
    With the new technology advancemnts the idea of learning has changed. I loved the example of Plato and that the gist of the quote was that we are losing rention knowledge because we can just look it up. Who needs to beable to orally relay information when they can just turn on a computer to find our information. In this sence we need to teach students how to weed through the "crap" information and find the truth. In some ways that can go under the idea of literacy technologies.
