How We Dream Part 1 & 2

Part one of "How We Dream" talks about how written text is converting to web text. Dr. Miller tells his life story about how he was always interested in books. He wanted to have them, read them, and eventually work with them. He got a job writing for magazines. He wrote about the deadly shootings at VTech but was required to post it on the web as well. He stated that magazines are becoming obsolete. They are reaching a mailboxes and slowly making their way to the trash. This is a powerful statement. He conveys that web text will be forever there where as written text will not.


Part Two of "How we Dream" elaborates on the topics of part one. In this clip he states the future of what is currently being done. People are now composing digital media vs. using word documentation. These clips are available on websites such as youtube and/or iTunesU. His dream is that eventually all students and teacher will use this format to teach and learn. More importantly he hopes they will use auditory media and creativity in doing so. He says it takes inspiring places and inspiring teachers to achieve this dream.

Both parts of the video clip exemplifies that learning methods are evolving. In the past couple of decades, researching has gone from traveling to libraries to sitting at home surfing the web. Dr. Millers' Dream is that the educational system will take advantage of this opportunity and make it mandatory for the teachers to train and teach and the students to learn through tech formats.
