In last week's lecture we talked about the 19th century education, we watched a very interesting video on youtube. The video was made by college students in 2007, they all talked about how busy students are becoming nowadays and that sitting in class and listening to a lecture for two hours or so is not an effective way for learning anymore. We discussed visual literacy and visual language; for example, films, television, commercial advertising, political advertising, and photography. We are now in the 21st century and vision education is more important and more effective for students nowadays.
In addition we talked about stories, how important they are in creating cultures. Consequently, television is important; it is an electronic story teller. also, we learned how stories are of three kinds; some talk about how things are, and some how things work, and finally some talk about what do things do.
Finally, it was pretty interesting how long time ago people used friendster just like how people nowadays use facebook.
We also had four presentations to see..
