Here is my skeleton….
A Vision of Students Today By Mike Welsh, and students of Kansas State University (Class of 2007)
Thesis: How this video may or may not have related to what I envisioned college life to be like.
The beginning:
• “If the walls could talk, what would they say?”
• “If students learn what they do… what are they learning sitting here (classroom, looking at a chalkboard)”
• “The information is up here (via chalkboard)”
• “[Follow] along”
• “Of course walls and desks cannot talk”
• “But students can”
I believe this video, tries to deploy the transition between the 19th century to the 20th. Chalkboard vs. Technology. I’m not sure how it targets the issues on the vision of students today. I can’t really relate to issues personally, because I’ve only been in college for a week and a half. So I can try and relate myself to this video with what I envisioned college life to be like. Which is nothing like how I see college
Issues the video has to offer:
• “My average class size is about 115”
• “18% of my teachers know my name”
• “I complete 49% of the readings assigned to me.”
• “Only 26% are relevant to my life”
• “ I buy hundred dollar textbooks that I never open”
• “My neighbor paid for class but never comes”
• “I will read 8 books this year, 2300 web pages and 1281 facebook profiles”
• “I will write 42 pages for class this semester and over 500 pages of email.”
• “I get 7 hours of sleep each night”
• “I spend 1.5 hours watching TV each night”
• “I spend 3.5 hours a day online”
• “ I listen to music 2.5 hours a day”
• “I spend 2 hours on my cell phone”
• “I spend 3 hours in class”
• “2 hours eating”
• “I work 2 hours every day”
• “3 hours studying”
• “That’s a total of 26.5 hours per day”
• “I’m a multi-tasker, (I have to be)”
• “ I will be 20,000 in debt after graduation”
• “I’m one of the lucky ones”
• “Over one billion people make less than $1 a day”
• “This laptop cost more than some people in the world make in a year”
• “When I graduate, I will probably have a job. That doesn’t exist today.”
• “Filling this out won’t help me get there (back of an answer booklet), or deal with it.”
• “I didn’t create the problems, but they are MY problems”
Quote:
“Some have suggested that technology can save us… Some have suggested that technology alone can save us…”
• “I face book through most of my classes”
• “I bring my laptop to class, but I’m not working on class stuff”
