Video Reflection: Three Steps

After finding the actual video (and realizing it was not about a lynyrd skynyrd song) I watched it and was reminded of a few of the other videos we have been assigned to watched in this class, such as "Pay Attention." However, this video was different in the way it presented suggestions in a more organized and numerical order, rather that a random collection of good ideas. The common theme I am noticing here and in the other video's is that teachers, especially future teachers, cannot do things the same way they were done ten years ago. The amount of technology and knowledge that exists in the world today wont allow it. "3 Steps" even went as far to say that the traditional classroom setup and the "talking teacher" need to be done away with. I agree with most of the points made in the video, primarily because I believe it goes right along with my content area, which is language. I believe that language learning is all about creativity which fits in to the advice in step 1 to have a creative classroom. I also believe language learning requires interaction; or if you would like: cooperation, collaboration and competition with others. And if this can be done say on a global level, with those who speak the language you are learning, the benefits will be great. So to sum up my overall feelings about the video, I agree with the points made, and while it didn't necessarily present anything new to me, I did like the way these ideas were consolidated into 3 steps.
