PLN week 10-1

For the first blog I read this week it was more like a movie by Mr. Fisch titled "What Will You Learn Today?" and the whole short video was about students being in charge of their learning. In this video in the blog it had very little words, but a very big meaning behind those very few words.

In the two sentences in the blog is very important and the thing that is so important is students learn what they want to learn. When you ask the question "What will you learn today?" it is kind of referring to what you want to learn and what you want to listen to. I have never thought of it that way, but I think that it is completely true. When a student is not interested in something they will more than likely not listen to what it is about, but when you do that then you are kind of making the decision to no have that knowledge that might become useful to you in the future. It seems kind of scary when you think about learning that way because you can't really force a student to want to learn, they also have to want it to, to be able to learn. When a student take control of what they have to learn and what they want to learn that is where they kind of mess up. Lets just say I think to be successful you have to want to learn everything and to be open minded about learning.
