This video was pretty crazy! My overall impression of this model of learning was very mixed. Part of me loved it. The creativity the students were allowed to express was so interesting! However, another part of me was confused about how they do all of that AND fit in the typical school day of meeting requirements. We're raised and taught to view education in one way, the way that the typical public school classroom is run today. It's hard sometimes, especially the older people are, to view school as anything different. I wonder if they could or do run any classrooms like this for older students? Could high school students do a variation of this and if they can't, is it shocking for the kindergarten students to go from a learning environment such as that one to the typical structured day of another school?
The technology that was used was crazy! Smartboards are amazing to me and I loved how they implemented them! Being able to pull things up right then and there on the board is a valuable resource for students! When the teachers were able to interact with the technology and show the students how useful and exciting it could be to use, it only helped to further the minds of students and what a valuable resource all of it could be. That school has an amazing understanding of how technology can really support learning!
