I learned a lot from the video. We, as college students, are multi-taskers because we have to be. We go to class but do not fully focus on the lecture, we may be doing homework for another class, or we may be browsing online because the classes do not keep our attention. Many of the times I will go to class, but only 35 out of 75 are not there. College students loose interest in class lectures rather easily due to the fact that the teacher does not engage their students or the class is just uninteresting.
As a future teacher, I will be sure to engage my students. I want to make my class fun and exciting to learn new things. I also would set aside homework time and let my students get an early start so they can ask me any questions they may have and have more time to be kids and enjoy time at home. I want to use everything I can to help teach my students, and use many different ways so that my students will learn and always be engaged in the classroom.
I feel that in elementary, teachers want to do anything and everything they can to keep the students engaged so they won't become distracted or disinterested. Yet, once they hit high school and college it is as though we are expected to sit there for an hour or more and listen to the teacher ramble on without involving us or using techniques to make the lecture interactive. I think that we would learn so much better and more quickly if teachers would make the effort and engage us in class rather than expect us to sit here and listen because that is what we are expected to do.
