World is Flat (thoughts)

This was a great assignment as a student I learned a lot from it. The graphic organizer was a huge help for me if I was not looking for the certain facts in the video I would have looked over or thought nothing of them, also the notes I wrote on my organizer help me recall information in class when we discussed each topic. I would have a lot of use for this in the classroom especially in a high school setting for the two subjects I'm thinking about teaching (Math & Science). An example for math I can think of is have the students find a video on the internet that teaches them how to do a certain type of math problem, this would be used before i teach the lesson could give them somewhat prior knowledge, or new ways other than the way I teach them to solve the problem. As for science I could have them watch a video that explains something related to the next lesson or current and take notes. I'd use the same format as the assignment we did in class with the graphic organizer and discussion of the notes. You can look at every aspect of the assignment as teaching and learning, students learn how to analyze information and figure out whats important (note taking & listening skills). This can also be use to give information before or after a lesson therefore you are teaching. The biggest skill to be taught and learned is how to obtain information over the internet even though most students will probably already know how! The only difficulty I can see coming with this is if a student cant access the internet.........
