At the very beginning of the video clip asks that if the walls of a classroom could speak what would they say? What are students learning from just sitting in a classroom? 200 students responded to an email that asked them what it was like to be a student today. They also surveyed themselves to convey a public message about what happens in the classroom.
What I got from it is that not a lot of learning really goes on in the classroom for various reasons.
Students today are spending an average of six hours a day doing class related things. A lot of money is wasted on textbooks and other supplies for classes. Some students never even show up to classes and many will be in at least $20,000 in debt after they graduate.
What I got from this video clip is that students today are more interested in using newer technology and thechniques in the classroom, but there hasn't been many changes made in methods of teaching with something other than the chalkboard and textbook. Perhaps if new technology and things that interested and applied to a students life were incorporated into teaching the experience of college would be a lot more enjoyable. Students pay for it so why can't they have school their way?
