Education and Technology





   Video - 1: Sir Ken Robinson: Changing Paradigm:

This video is about our educational system. we can find there that our system is closed system and not allowed students to learn openly. There are very limitations almost like any factory where you have to do work in one way. There is no space for divert thinking or one has to face many struggle if he does so. There you got degree but able to learn or learn new things, there is one proverb in Gujarati for that, 
"Bhanya pan ganya nai"
which perfectly said what is shown in video. 

Video 2:Sugata Mitra: School in the cloud- SOLE.
Video 3: Sugata Mitra: Future of Learning:

In this video, Sugata Mitra talked about the schooling system that, There are traditional way of schooling in india but his idea is about "Cloud schooling" where students can learn by them selves and also can teach each other. 21st century is century of knowledge and for gaining that traditional way can be not so useful so one have to accept the new way of teaching. It is not so far when time will come when it will be happen.

This is also time where all are being aware about mobile laptops and also about using technology and for that one needs that type of environment and traditional one definitely not worked out well.  Nowadays that is now being very common and all are accepting new technologies and as he also wants to collect all the information about that and wants to build one cloud school that is his idea. 

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

 

"Khan Academy" is the idea of Salman Khan a young Indian. What he does is he thought in flipped learning mode, in which he made videos and students themselves watch that and learning happens within and by the students only then that made presentation based on that and learning happens. As we studied here Barad sir make us aware about that mode. 

 

Video 5: Marc Prensky: Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants

 

"Digital Native" and "Digital Immigrant" the idea which introduced by him. In which he said that who is born in 21st century they called as "Digital Natives" because they are born with this recent technology which is growing faster and who born in 20th century they called as "Digital Immigrant" because they are not born with this new technology but later on they make themselves used to it and so they are called like that. This is the idea behind this video.

 

Video 6: David Crystal: The Effect of New Technologies on English : 

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

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

This video is based on that, "Digital Natives" who are born with new technology and using so many tools like, G+, Slide share, blogs, Whatsapp, facebook etc and because of which their language has effect of that texting language or chatting and if you minutely examine the language then you can able to find difference like, in standard English we write "because" where as they used as "Coz" or "bcoz" and idea here is that this type of language is not wrong but different and in order to survive in this age you have to accept that. some writers and some people believe that the standard English is the one or British English is the only one which is standard or right and other are not but as we see the need of this age and one have to accept it. and it can also be possible that in future that it can be the standard English. 

Thank you.
