Episode Title: Ideas for international students adopting
Date: 2/9/07
Episode Number: 128
Reflection:


Rachel Tucker’s idea is such a great idea, I can’t believe it isn’t being done more already! I do think that the foreign students from Turkey at Fort Hays visit the elementary classrooms. I’m not sure how many other foreign students here do, but I think it is an amazing idea. In my opinion, this is where technology can reach students in these smaller towns. Through ITV or even the digital videos, students in a variety of towns could here the international students speak and even blog back and forth with them. I think students in my home town, Scott City, should be able to have the opportunity to hear and see international students…especially when they are here at Hays! I think it would be a great addition to FHSU to reach out to elementary schools across western Kansas. I also don’t think this is an unreasonable goal! I’m with Rachel, I’m fired up too! The second interview was interesting too and I am always interested in the improving science and moving students towards the future.

I thought this was a very interesting podcast. I agree with many of the principles, however, displacing an established technology was something I had never thought of. I think the podcast convinced me though, because similar to the DVD example, I think all technology in a way, replaces old technology. At first, I was thinking that DVD’s did not replace an old technology because we still have video players around! But after hearing the entire podcast, I understand what they were talking about. You could tell this guy was very knowledgeable!
