This video made me think that our nation needs to spend a lot more time and money on education. I thought it was absolutely repulsive that America spent more than twice as much on creating Nintendo than they did on education. Education is a survival need and needs to be thought of
more like that. Educating the children of today will only help us in the future. It was also surprising to me that China will soon be the top English speaking country over America. I think we seriously need to consider what our countries ideals are and we need to focus on becoming advanced in those areas. China and India are not only more populated than us, but they are also beating Americans on tests that are even written in the English language. This video really upset me because it showed the facts of how our nation is not keeping up with others. Other countries are adapting to our language and becoming more sufficient in it than we are. This made me realize,
that education is changing and the role of the teacher has become more than what you would normally think it would be. Teachers are expected to incorporate technology into their lessons more effectively and also at younger ages. If technology is incorporated at a young age, it will become easier for students to use and implement into their lives. If teachers start teaching children how to use the internet properly and safely at a young age, it will carry through to their teenage years where many students seem to get off the wrong track. I know that when I was in high school, technology was not implemented other than we had to learn how to type sufficiently. I had never thought of ever making a power point and when I was first assigned a power point presentation in college, it came to a shock to me. I am now very behind in the technology advances and wish that I had experienced it more throughout my life because it would have been easier to use now.
