Hey Alison! Wow, I 100% connected to how you feel about technology in general. I have always been the type of person to get so frustrated by everything and anything technology that I have done my best to avoid it… well until now! I also connect with your realization about just how often we use and see multimedia every day without even realizing we do. To be completely honest, I didn’t realize just how “simple” the concept of multimedia was until now.
It’s interesting how the lessons we all remember the most are ones that involved a personal experience or story being told to us, I too can recall easily the lessons teachers added or shared their own experiences but for the life of me cannot tell you what Avogadro’s number is…
I agree with your feelings about lecture-style classes. I never understood the point of having pre-made notes in a class where the teacher simply just read them out to you. In those classes would also be the atmosphere that if you’re asking a question, you’re becoming a nuisance to the time parameters of the class. Why do you think universities moved in the direction of large lecture classes? Do you think they thought it was an able way to teach or maybe it was an easier decision?
