In todays society, creative and critical thinking is something that is becoming harder and harder to teach and understand, in this two part video about teaching with technology it teaches us how wicked it can be. The 1st part I found interesting was how teachers cannot keep up with technology, which is very true. Technology is changing and growing every single day, how do people expect teachers to be able to keep up on all of it while also keeping up,with their class? It is almost mind boggling. The second thing I learned is that quality teaching is the transformation of content, today the quality of teaching is slacking because students and teachers are bombarded with technology every day. The third thing I learned is the Victor Hugo quote "this will destroy that." I found this to be very interesting because it is very true. I am worried that one day if the problem is not addressed right that technology will destroy education. The fourth thing I learned was how creativity is the key to surviving, we have to teach our students to be more creative. Technology can give us any number of ideas in the world so it is hard to be truly creative and think of our own ideas. This video was sort of an eye opener to the wickedness of technology
