WHO i want to teach

I’m a very selfish person. I have already decided who I want to teach and where I want to teach. Shouldn’t the teaching profession be about others and not putting yourself first? Well I must have gone off track somewhere along the road.

Anyway, below is a very amateur digital story I created using iMovie to depict why or who I want to teach. However I feel the video doesn’t do my thoughts justice (my fault entirely) because what I really wanted to say is: In Australia, most of us are very fortunate to have quality teachers, a quality education system with quality facilities and resources. However some communities and countries around the world aren’t as lucky as we are and so I hope to alleviate this problem (in any way I can) and provide quality teaching to the most disadvantaged communities around the world. I hope to teach teachers and teach children in an attempt to make education accessible and enriching for all kids internationally.

Sounds like a big ask?

Probably is.

MOVIE : click here please

Please click above as embeding is currently not working.

Warning: This video was not intended to be funny! I thought the topic was of serious concern to me however some people may find my twisted mind assuming. Please note that this was not the intention.

I encourage everyone to read this particular article on Constructionism. In the 1980s Seymour Papert delivered the following speech by video to a conference of educators in Japan. Click here to read it

The reason i am so intrigued by it, is because it is so old. The speech is old in today’s technological standards so i wont tell you my opinion and views on the speech. You tell me what you think of it. Then we cna discuss.

I found this on Sarah Bakers edublog at Constructionism vs. Instructionism in which she wrote on April 21, 2008. Click on it if you would like to read her opinion.

Looking forward to your replies!
