Hello friends !
Here I want to talk about the English Language Teaching. In which time technology is useful to learn any particular language. Here I want to talk about the English language. As we know that we are living in the age of Technology. So what was the role of Technology in Education? Yes of course in Corona pandemic the situation happens is that without technology we can't imagine education.
I think with the help of technology we can get more and explore more and more. There are some of the videos that are very interesting to watch and to understand also. This is my academic blog writing. As part of the paper of English language Teaching. So here I am Writing about what is the main message of the video and that is consideration in the context of technology in education and also English language Teaching.
So let's begin with the first video….
- Video - 1: Sir Ken Robinson: Changing Paradigm
This was the interesting video. The main point that is discussed in this video is Economic and cultural. If we think about education then ideally we believe that education is for humanity and also a way of darkness to the light. But that is only an ideal thinking, truly the education is for stable economical conditions. Ken Robinson raised a question about How do we educate our children to take their place in the economics of the 21st century ?
Another is how we can teach the cultural identity of people to the children. He also made a point that the current education system was designed and conceived for a different age. The idea of public education is based on two factors: Economic and Intellectual. He was also telling that this model has caused chaos. In which we come to know that students become like customers. He was also talking about diverge thinking. It's an ability to creative thinking and creativity. There is not only a linear or convergent but a multiple answers possible. Education system makes a dumber generation.

- Video 2: Sugata Mitra: School in the cloud- SOLE
This video is about Sugata Mitra, it was amazing in which we found some of the very interesting ideas about education and learning. At the starting point he was talking about where the school learning came from ? Of course that is from Victorian people. The education system has become a bureaucratic administrative machine. Because of the empire the Victorian wants a people who can read, write, good handwriting, multiplication in mind. But now a time empire is gone. But the system of education is the same. So Sugata Mitra had questioned the system. He also talks about self learning. He had done interesting research in the education process. He was talking about the current education system, and also what should be the system of learning. How technology is helpful to the education system. According to him now is the time we should not need to follow the system that is going on in our education system.
- Video 3: Sugata Mitra: Future of Learning
In this video also we find that the same point like video no. 2. This is about reinventing the education system and also the future of learning and education.
- Video 4:Salman Khan: Let's use video to reinvent education
This video is about which way the idea provokes in the mind of Salman khan, to develop such a platform like Khan Academy. In this video we get to Know the journey of the whole platform. How it started and all those things. We also come to know that is how this platform is different from the actual classroom. It's something innovative and interesting. There we come to know that all the hypotheses that Teachers and students have that are broken. Because in Khan academy we can see they taught beautifully each and every subject. They covered everything from basic arithmetic, all the way to vector calculus. He started from the YouTube videos. And he also talked about some of the comments that he got on YouTube. That is also amazing. So the point is that learning through videos is helpful to students, because they watch videos anytime wherever they want. If they want to repeat they can repeat it. That is the benefit of learning from videos.
Salman Khan also differentiates the learning outcome of the traditional learning and learning from Khan academy. This academy encourages students to master over the specific subjects. They also give mastery points. How consequently looking at the students' learning process. There is also a concept of peers Teaching to peers. The concept is like let's teach for mastery not for test scores.
Video 5: Marc Prensky: Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants
Here in this video we come to know what Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants are.
These are the characteristics of the Digital Natives : Multi-tasking, parallel thinking, Multimedia, Multi resources. They spent their most of time with mobiles, T.V, Video Game and all the things.
In opposition of the Digital Natives there are Digital immigrants. Single task, Sequential thinking , limited resources are the characteristics of the Digital immigrants. Here in this video Marc Prensky differentiate both of them.
Digital Natives think and talk (language) totally different from the digital immigrants.
