Reflections

Inspired by the National Geographic website, I decided to incoporate pictures, interesting new stories, and a page of my personal recomendations. They are not neccesarily the most relevant options for me to choose for my website, but I think they are interesting. When you go on my website you could learn something you didn't before. I think they add a bit of fun and intrigue to my website. I could have chosen education videos that were relevant to technology, but I wanted to add something that teaches viewers, inpires them, or enlighten them.

How do you think this video is relevant to Secondary Social Studies and English education?

It is relevant because the speaker talks about the characteristics of generations, and all the characteristics include short attention span, materialistic, narcissistic, and not easily impressed. The speaker talks about the history and current phenomenon of the culture surrounding technology and teenagers.

What does the term ‘recognition’ refer to in the video and how could this concept be important in teaching and learning?

When people see themselves, they reevaluate what they think of themselves after seeing themselves and their behavior. The video says we live in a world of instant replay, first there is cognition, then recognition. This could be important in teaching and learning by using recognition as a form of assessment.
