Real Life Experience
Submitted by Mark HIrsch (not verified) on September 17, 2008 - 14:45.
I thought this video was really good for two reasons. One being that this teacher's program was keeping kids off the streets. The second reason being that the teacher wanted to really make an impression on his students more than just using a text book. Instead he was giving them real life experience with using technology.
Preservice History Teacher

I thought this video was great. It gave me information from the teacher's point of view. It gave me his goals and plans for this class. He listed his reasons for offering this class. He is right when we says that we remember the projects we do because they are tangible and have an end to them. I also like how they gace the students point of view as well. It showed how happy they are and how proud they are of what they are doing. I think the kids in the video are excited about going to school and being able to work on their projects. It gives them something to work on rather than getting into trouble on the streets.
An outlet for student expression

This video was really awesome because it did not just show you what the teacher's goals were and what his motivation was but it showed the students as well. The students are so proud of the work they have done and the fact that what the teacher was saying that the end result it tangible it is something the students can carry with them for the rest of their lives. Technology is an great way to spread meaning and messages and it really showed, especially with the sweatshop video which was created by a high schooler yet shown at a national convention in India.

Can't say anything more than what's been said, well done.
Impact

What I found most interesting about this clip is the power and obvious self-esteem that the students found merely by being given a voice, and more importantly a receptive audience. If every teacher could inspire their students to speak up about the ills they are confronted with a more just society would emerge. By exposing social evils, or just sharing a laugh, dialogs are created and as those build on each other positive change is a nigh inevitable result.

As a Preservice teacher at A.S.U. West I was truly inspired by Marro Torres and his approach to education and technology. I loved seeing the children excited about learning. Mr Torres has opened the door for so many children keeping them off the streets while helping them develop life changing skills that will no doubt help the in the future. I hope to be as influential as a teacher as Mr Torres. He is an inspiration to all future educators.

INSPIRING

This video and the content are absolutely inspiring. I agree that the things children learn are found far more in what they do than in rote. What I loved about this video is the fact that children were sitting on the curb using the teacher's web and even more than that they were able to share this with others. Amazing!
