Ted Talk
Matt Beane: How do we learn to work with intelligent machines

Discussion -

 During this ted talk Matt talks about the transformation from old school, hands on surgery, to the current robotic types of surgery. He talks about the benefits of accuracy and how perfect the machine can perform and he also talks about how it isn't allowing our surgeons to master their craft. The head doctor wasn't allowing his assistant, Kristen to do any work. 6 menthe before she was doing more work than the head surgeon. The robots are taking over the industry and not allowing the woman who did many years at prestiges med schools to not apply her learning. The saying with doctors is" See one, do one , teach one." In my eyes this can relate right back to schooling and the equation systems. As much as technology can help students learn and help revolutionize the industry, it has its flaws also.What happened to text book, finger on the pages learning. The comprehensive learning. Not so much with robots but with technology in this case, I know when I go on my laptop I am doing 60% school work and 40% whatever I want. We are not being forced to learn subject, we have everything at t\our fingertips with google and the internet. Education should be utilized in person, through books, through the teachers knowledge. Is many times you see teacher pulling from other people for worksheets and readings. As much as thats fine I can see how its negative. We live in a new era and a new world than we did 10,20,30 years ago and It shows. It is helping us for the better and the worse but I honestly don't know which one is winning and that is kind of scary.

Quotes -

Quote 1 - "[Community] requires a willingness to see people as they are-different perhaps in their minds and in their bodies, but not different in their spirits or in their willingness and ability to contribute to the mosaic of society."

I believe that the whole world needs to feel this way and have this way of thinking. The world has changed so much and some for the better and some for the worse, one constant negative about the world is how everything people do is judged. People always tend to judge who someone is from the outside but you don't see people getting to know someone and then judge who they are based off of them as a person and what they stand for. Everyone who has gotten to know someone can probably vouch for me that people are not always easy to get to know and people are not the most prone to just eating someone in their lives. When you get to know someone you really get to see who they are as a person , not just how they are on their appearance.

Quote 2 - "Along with recognizing an individual's ability to think, Bogdan and Taylor (1989) suggest that respect and citizenship require a realization of the person's individuality."

I believe this quote 50/50. A lot of teaching is about an individuals ability to retain information and to  apply his learning to class work or real world events. The other half is that everyone is different and you cannot just assume that everyone is going to learn the same. Learning is based a lot on an individuals individuality. Who is that person, what have they been through, what is their mindset and opinions? I think that it is a lot harder than we think when it comes to teaching because every single student is different and has a different learning capability.

Quote 3 - "The affective atmosphere of a participatory classroom also aims for a productive relationship between patience and impatience."

When it comes to a good learning environment the ability for a student and teacher to respect each other is tremendous. This is very apparent through someones amount of patience. They have to Respect one another to know when to talk , when to listen. Patience and impatience is huge, if=t is the building blocks of a good relationship and a good school environment. You cannot learn when someone is just talking out and not helping the cause. Everyone gets a chance to talk and everyone has a chance to listen.

The Problem we all live with



Discussion




Throughout this pod cast there are some very sickening themes and they are all mostly due to white supremacy and whites thinking that they're all that matters. For instance right off the bat they speak about how better test scores, better literacy teachings, better teachers, a better principal and how implementing and adding courses that count as college credits will help all students. While yes some of this is true, they missed the whole point. Every time I hear a school talk about getting it better its things like these, they just never end up working wither. There was a way bigger problem in the equation during this time period though. Blacks education was awful and the fact that they needed the  exposure to white schools was fascinating. I never really thought about that, as a white male I never dealt with this issue because my school though primarily white , had many races and ethnicities. I never though that my school had better things than another school, therefore making my education easier. Its something taken for granted for me and I'm sure for all of us white students. When they said the test scores I was baffled swell, 39% worse! thats a crazy statistic, and simply having blacks go to white schools dropped the scores to only 18% worse. Its something that we definitely take for granted.  Something else mind blowing is that later on in the talk the white parents talked about how because blacks want better education its racist of them, Its racist because they think that whites get better education. Some things art racists its more  facts. I don't know how anyone could deal with that stress as parent, you know someone who is the same age and just because they have different color skin they get such a head start in life. This talk really opened my eyes because I never knew how bad blacks in education had it and Im sure in some areas still have it. Hearing it from people who know what they're talking about and experienced things first hand makes it all the better. The pod cast really shows me at least that there is a way greater issue, or at least was, than getting a better test score or better overall education. Its more of get everyone equal and on the same page and then maybe yes they can worry about test scores and better teachers. Throwing something as major as not even equal education out of the window speaks volume.
