Academic Earth- Intro to Computers



This is an introductory course from Harvard University. The lecturer is engaging. I believe many of my middle school students are capable of understanding this information. Academic Earth is an amazing free opportunity to be a non-enrolled student at some of the prestigious universities in our country.

I enjoyed watching this video to study teaching practices. I do a lot of work with regards to learning styles. It was interesting how he used multimedia to support learning. It has strengths and weaknesses. I like the idea for using delicious for department collaboration, especially for teaching the same courses. Now I'm thinking about how I could use this approach for project teams I work on. Same concept I think. It reminds me that
"We don't know what we don't know" (Socrates)
, which for me in this case means what can I take away from observing one's practice and incorporate or avoid in my own. Thanks for the video.
