Online Identity
If I were a teacher, of course I would try to put decent pictures on the internet. But I get drink sometimes. And my teachers do. And I'm sure my future students will too. And if I were an employer, I would not check on the net for any personal information on my future employees. Because it is none of my business. I think it is just a personnal choice to look for someone's personnal life or not. Because this drunk employee on the picture may be the most competent worker the company would have had.
Videos on technologies
My favorite movie was the fourth one. In this video, students are in a classroom and they show their toughts on a piece of paper. With the music and everything, it was a good video !
I love university. I like to learn new stuff everyday and meet people who are just like me. However, to me, there is one problem. Teachers throw stuff at us from a powerpoint and through a microphone. And we, students, are supposed to go on the net and do whateverby ourselves (which is fine...). One particular student in the video wrote down: ''18% of all my teachers know my name''. I agree with that; technologies clearly brings a lack of ''human contact''.
I am myself a user of all those technologies. But these videos kind of... scare me. (please don't get upset Mark! Hahah!) Some people may say that technologies = evolution. To me, numbers such as ''3 hours online everyday'' = problems (such as obesity). Don't you think that there is nothing that can replace the smell of an old book?? I know that it may sound quite ''vieux-jeu''. But I know also that my last cellphone bill could have paid an entire year of university to a student in Nicaragua....................
