This is a wonderful video and I enjoyed it. Yes I do believe that if the learns are motivated enough they can teach themselves. My best friend did it in high school because she did not have a good math teacher and she tough herself to do the math. She preferred to do it that way she said she learned more. Just looking at the video the children we able to teach themselves to use the internet. He even gave an example of how a group of student recorded themselves singing and the they played it back all in four minutes. The conditions for people to teach themselves is if they want to know how to do it bad they will. I do not think it has to do with weather they are in a poor country or the richest if they want to know it bad enough they will learn the material. The computer and internet play a huge part in how the children will learn because this is the future of teaching in a classroom and in the world. I think the children being motivated to learn has a lot to do with what is going on because if they are not motived they would not learn this information like they do. Motivation is a huge part of any learning we do. One of the major ones is what will the children do with information? Not only that but where if ever will they have a place besides the computer in the wall to put this information to work? Some of these children can not afford to go to school. One way I know always works is give positive words or give the child some kind of insensitive to learn the information. When you do this you will see more a drive to learn. My motivation is that I'm making something better of my self and that I will use the information I learn to help others one day. Yes a person not motivated to learn can learn it just takes more of an effort and a struggle. Yes I have had to teach myself a lot in this class if not I would not know how to do a lot. A teacher plays a huge role in teaching. With out them we would not be able to strive for our best. They motivate us even if we do not want them to. They help us make more of ourselves and help us when we do not understand. The most important thing to me is that we do not give kids enough credit. They can learn so much without our help, but we as teachers are so blind to that. They have taught themselves to eat, put on cloths, and how to get to school. They are intelligent when we get them we as teachers just have to help them grow and enable them to be better students. One thing that sticks out is that one day we wont even have to meet in a classroom because they will be able to stream a live video to their computer somewhere. That is the biggest fear is that technology will advance so much we wont need schools anymore but the students will be able to attend school from the comfort of their homes. Which is the basic idea of the internet classes in college. I believe in my heart this is where technology is headed.
