Futuring

This blog presents my thoughts on how I would assess three videos: Fox, School Train, and EPIC 2015 which were all created by different people. It was part of the requirements of the class Integration of Tool Software.

Fox and School Train

In terms of my technology background and my capabilities of creating such videos at this point in my life, both videos were wonderful. School Train was far more impressive and attention-grabbing. Having no experience with making videos, I would assume that it took a lot of time to put such a video together. I would want to know how much the students were actually involved, considering that all credit was given to them. I certainly didn't have that type of technology talent when I was in 4th grade.

Fox Becomes a Better Person had a great story behind it. Hannah did an incredible job acting and probably dedicated many hours to creating all the illustrations for the video. It's amazing to see such young students with a strong grasp of technology. I tend to judge someones work on my own abilities to create such things, and both of these receive 5 stars from me.


EPIC 2015

I loved EPIC 2015. Although, I don't think the writers of this video are as far off as 2015. I'm definitely seeing huge technological advancements in the schools since I have been their, which isn't that long ago. However, my own mentor teacher is pretty savy with his tablet PC and is even experimenting with podcasting already. This stuff is already happening. My students are able to go home and upload any current lecture, and they will soon be able to view it through podcasting. It 's scary to think that I will soon be in charge of delivering math lessons through podcasting.
