Mr. Winkle Wakes was not at all what I expected when I saw that it was something we could post a blog about. I was expecting it to be a short, cartoon-ish video. My opinion about this video is that yes, over 100 years, everything has changed. The cities are built up, technology has come long, long way. If I woke up after 100 years from today, I don't know what I would awake to. There would probably be people flying in airplanes like it's nothing. A computer would probably be the size of an iPod, which it almost is considering our cell phones can almost do it all.
The one thing that I thought was cool was that it showed how school and learning still has the same core meaning. We go to school to learn and explore. No matter how much technology will interfere with how we teach, we still are teaching the same values and concepts that you will always learn throughout life and society, not matter how many years go by. We may change HOW we teach, but we won't necessarily change the meaning. Yes, things will be added to what we teach because the world is constantly changing, but the meaning of learning will never change.
I agree with you when you said, "we still are teaching the same values and concepts that you will always learn throughout life and society..." Sometimes certain people hear technology in the classroom and they forget about the meaning of teaching. This goes back to a topic brought up earlier in this class about teachers becoming monitors. I am all for technology in the classroom, but I am not a fan of teachers becoming monitors. I thought the video was a fun way of showing how technology has evolved in 100 years. As long as we find a way to integrate technology into our solid morals of teaching, we will allow our students to strive for the best. Technology changes every day. There are no limits to what will be invented in 10, 20, and 30 years from now.
