Logan LaPlante's video really made me look at education in a completely different way. I think students should be allowed to be as creative as they want. In saying this I believe that we should have a say in what we have to write essays and paragraphs about because I think that if students have the choice to write about what ever they want it would be better quality work. I also think that students would learn better if the lessons were more interactive and interesting. For example the teacher could use a video to teach part of the lesson.
In a way schools try to make us be creative by offering arts programs as well as extra curricular activities. The only reason we have these things is to make the students happier which is good to know that the teachers and the school board actually do care somewhat about our happiness. The main goal of school is to teach us what we need to know to get a higher education and eventually a job, as well as teaching us social skills that we will need later on in life.
I enjoy being in the Future Forums course this year because it's different from every other class I have. I think it's a unique yet effective way of teaching and I like how we watch videos and get to work on social networking sites as well as having frequent class discussions. I find I can pay attention easier and find myself interested in the topics we have discussed so far in class. It's just different and I like different because different is more interesting.
