Prensky vs. Boyd

-
    After reviewing the thoughts of Marc Prensky and Danah Boyd in isolation, I am able to make sense of how each idea came together. As Prensky notes, the younger generation is growing up with technology and may be more likely to become more familiar with its uses simply because of the exposure at a young age. However, Danah Boyd makes a good point in her book, "It's Complicated" (2014). Boyd says that assumptions cannot be made about this younger generation's use of technology simply because they are growing up with it (p. 177). There are far too many factors to consider that influence one's ability to use technology. I agree with Boyd when she brings up the issue of access . Every child in America does not have the same uncensored, access to the Internet. Boyd brings up the strong correlations between a child's access to technology and their socioeconomic status (p. 195). Students are being raised in lower-income areas will not have the same technological e...

My Distance Learning Savior: EdPuzzle

    This past spring educators all over the world found themselves in a situation no one would have ever predicted. Teachers had little to no time to prepare the rest of the school year online and sharing resources was crucial. Student engagement was a major concern for everyone and  I was finding that when I would assign instructional videos, some students were not watching them and just going straight to the posted assignment.        Enter EdPuzzle .        I had used EdPuzzle so many times before as station activities, but I was finding another purpose during distance learning. EdPuzzle allows teachers to see which students are watching/completing the instructional videos, as well as check for understanding. When students see a teacher assigned an instructional video on EdPuzzle, they know their watch history is monitored and are more likely to watch the video, which is so important when it comes to understanding new co...

Simon Sinek & The Golden Circle

    Simon Sinek delivers a powerful speech about leadership, values, and human behavior in his TED Talk, "How Great Leaders Inspire Action" . He discusses what makes certain brands and leaders "innovative" using his "Golden Circle" visual (as shown below). According to Sinek, the direction in which brands and leaders communicate (inside, out or outside, in) determines their success. A leader will be more successful when they go from their "Why", their beliefs, and their purpose rather than "What" their selling or doing.        When Sinek was describing the idea that human behavior is driven from beliefs and purpose, I agreed with him. When someone feels like their beliefs are being validated by a company or leader, they are going to follow through and support that group or person. He discusses the nature of human biology and how the brain works in the same way this Golden Circle operates in the sense that behavior is only driven from be...
