Response Paper: Three

Online video documentaries are a great alternative to in class power points and lectures. Actually, alternative is not the proper term to describe them as I feel they’re not so much an alternative but another method to provide the information from a different angle. I’m kind of on the fence regarding how I feel about using them as a teaching aid. Depending on the length and quality of the video, it may be hard to stay focused and aware for the whole thing.

Many factors come into play as I evaluate videos. A seemingly minor detail like the narrators voice and tone can completely turn me off and lose my attention from the very start of the video. A big factor for me is the length of the video. If it’s too long I find it hard stay awake, let …show more content…

I can only think of positive aspects concerning this video. It was fifty-one minutes long, which is almost identical to our normal class length. The narrator’s voices weren’t too monotone and kept my attention. I also enjoyed the fact that there was both a male and female speaking at different points in the video. I feel this change of sound and tone keeps this interesting in a sense. Most importantly, the content discussed in the video was quite intriguing. I was completely unaware of the fact that the British essentially tried to eliminate races of people. Also a top contender for best film is; Why the Industrial Revolution Happened Here. Once again, a video very similar in length to class, which is a good way to start things off. I felt from start to finish this video was loaded with fantastic detail and very critical information. Certain aspects like the problem solving required to resolve the flooding mine problem and not to mention Josiah Wedgewood’s marketing brilliance. Either of these two videos could be a wonderful addition to Lindenwood’s history

Another thing I liked about this documentary is it exposes the judicial system. Nathan’s trial lasted three days, in these three days his defense attorney called no witnesses. With this, Nathans voice was silenced giving him no chance to tell his side of the story and what was happening behind closed doors. This sheds light on the courts because it makes you wonder if they want justice, or do they want to do what “looks good” and guarantee him life in prison. These are some things that I liked about the

It brought in great interviews, whether they were that of townspeople or official representatives, the interviews were solid and differed enough to make each one stand on it's own. The filmmakers found a way to follow the narrative with it's statistics and interviews blending in a way to keep my attention without me wanting to shoot myself in the face due to boredom, which is great. The way ethos, pathos, and logos weaved together for the end product was certainly admirable. I wasn't concerned with the issue at all when going into the interview, but if I'm going to be honest, I still don’t really care. I understand the issues and what they're doing to both the world and it's inhabitants, but I think bottled anything has become so integrated into society.

It shows the 10 hour dance ,she has to go through and all these things she has to go through to become a woman. The medicine lady had a lot of things to say too about deshena. Some disadvantages about the video is that the video was a little too short. Its didnt show the end of the 10 hour dance the watcher, maybe wanted to see her reaction after finishing the 10 hour dance. The person telling the story in the video did not really explain what was going

The documentary had many strengths from how they adjusted from idea to idea showing all the impact of each belief the Koch brothers have and all the different impact their beliefs have on us due to the amount of money they process. The film overall made me pretty angry that someone with as much money as they have care so little about the rest of the population. Polluting other people’s neighborhoods, killing other people’s families, ruining cities, and numerous other aspects to life that have been destroyed by the Koch brothers. It proved to me how false someone could be about what is being said and exactly what they mean by that. After watching this documentary it forced me to feel like I need to get more involved and speak my beliefs more so the near future is not ran by bias opinions towards a group of people especially the working

I chose to watch the collaborative consumption video, and one of things that I found interesting is that physical interaction is unnecessary in order to gain a desired achievement. The internet and Facebook has made it possible for people to interact with each other and gain that trusting relationship without ever having to physically meet. Currently as I sit and write about collaborative consumption, I am a part of an online discussion that is designed to combine the collective reasoning of all peers within the class to come up with a more profound way of accomplishing a desired goal. At least that is my opinion and that of Chelsea, if I read her input correctly. Rachel Botsman stated that “collaborative consumption is a renewed belief in

It was definitely hard to focus with other background noise and people around me. I was not multitasking as I was listening to the story because I know that if I don’t sit still and listen, I’ll be distracted and not pay attention to the audio. This program was really enjoyable because the story was told in a very straightforward manner. There was no slang or any complex vocabulary words.

The highlight of the video to me is autonomy, mastery, and purpose. I had watched a video about it a few months ago, and was impressed by the information. Instead of the normal, do what I say because I am the boss, it transfers the authority to the person using it, even if it is an subordinate. If a boss is willing to give power to the employee through it, and will do any task they ask of the employee, they will get better results (Kawasaki, 2011). It breaks down to freedom, the ability to be the best one can be, and there is a good reason or higher purpose the user of autonomy, mastery, and purpose, will give their all.

The main arguments for this video is that are discussed is that it took the example of a fifth grade class and had to relax, to see how would their mathematics performance would improve. The students were able to relax their bodies and minds which makes them more prepared to understand and comprehend what the teacher was teaching. The point of the website was to show how can teachers help students to relax and decrease the anxiety they might have on the first day of school or the first week. Topics that were covered was how can mental exercises help you perform better. If someone asked me what this video was about I would say that it’s about a teacher who tried mental exercises with 5th graders and wanted to see what the results would be.

Once she teaches on the conflict, the video ends with her telling us what is to come in the second lesson. I think this video is my least favorite because I thought it would be a fun animated way for the author to educate the viewer about conflicts but it was not.

After watching the video Art 21. I deeply agree with Wodiczko’s comment on how people feel more comfortable talking to strangers through the beauty of art, than to talk to love one’s about personal and painful experiences in person. The idea of sharing your story through a monument is an amazing idea because it allows people to speak out and express themselves about the several issues that we as a society are afraid to talk about for the fear of being judged, treated differently or even harassed by the media. One projection that stood out to me was the Tijuana projection that gave a deep insight on what young girls go through in their culture and the emotional pain each and one of them go through. These girls were brave enough to shared their stories with an audience that was interesting in listening to their pain and suffering behind a monument that gave them the courage to speak out.

The video featured presenter, Lee Crocket, discussing the way students learn differently in the digital age. Presenter, Crocket, uses a great amount of relevance to make his points come across to the audience. For example, Crocket’s Power-Point is filled with clear pictures and important points directly related to the subject on which keeps the audience’s attention. Crocket keeps a clear message on how the digital age has changed throughout the generations, as he states, “our knowledge base has been becoming digitalized at an incredible rate…facts become obsolete faster…even our newspapers arrive out of date”. Not only is Crocket’s use of relevance effective, but he also engages with the audience effectively, grabbing and holding their attention.

I really enjoyed this documentary, even though it was pretty depressing. You would think there would be some moment of hope for change, but if you thought that; then you were wrong. But this documentary was 100 % true and sometimes the truth isn’t all nice and sweet. It was shocking how the documentary started with a funeral, you would never think that an educational documentary would start off so weird. However, their funerals aren’t like boring American funerals.

The First 10 minutes, the teacher gives them a handout for all the students in the classroom from (All-Star Programme) with colour. I didn 't like that students with special needs had their own solitary table in the general education classroom and doesn 't engage them with the other students when they colour. The last 30 minutes, the general education teacher and all students sit in a circle, then the teacher read the story. I like this part, because everyone is holding the other student

Ellinger, Sandler, Chayen, Goldfrad, and Yarosky (2001) conducted a study on the use of internet in language classes. They believe that internet, as an important tool encourages students, increases autonomous learning potential, and brings enthusiasm into the classroom. Arcairo (1993) states that using authentic video in EFL classrooms, can be interesting and attractive for communicative dialogues. Chapple and Curtis (2000) point out that using authentic films in the classrooms motivate the learners because of many contextual clues of films, and they make learners use both of their hemispheres which are very important for language learning. Using technology in EFL classrooms improves students’ four skills.
