Activity #1 :DEJ#11
As i listen to this video, I didn't really understand what the purpose of it was the first time i listened to it. It spoke of many different things, but as i listened to it a 2nd time was when i understood the purpose and mean of it. His accent of one of the person made it hard for me to understand. I learned a few things, Wicked problems take creative solutions. Another thing is Teacher are the full designers. And finally is that pedagogy is another form for meaning of teaching. ( but i was really confused on the mean of this video)

"Today’s students are growing up in a world that is very different from the world of their parents and grandparents."
I agree with that completely. I grew up where technology is the basis of everyone's life. So many students use their computers for everything, writing, watching tv and movies, using it to keep a calendar, communicate with others and so much more. My grandma just learned how to respond to a text. She doesn't really know how to use a computer. I have learned to realize that they are going to end up changing the meaning of college and what you go for. I believe that when our children grow up the jobs that we are doing aren't going to be there anymore. I believe that people are going to lose the method of actually have a hard back book in front of them or not going to be able to write cursive and things that i learned when i was younger aren't going to be important.

"The first thing we need to pay attention to is the difference between a games’ “surface”
messages, as presented in its in its graphics, audio and text (what is commonly called its
“content”) and a game’s underlying messages and required skills."
This article brings a good point to the word content. The only message that a game is given is by the content that is on the surface. One never really looks at the real meaning of the game. What the game actually does for a child. Yeah i agree some games can be really violent and cause a child to be around more violence when playing it but they never really know what the violence is stating, some children know it is bad and think that a game is just fun, while other children can take stuff serious. I believe that games like these should be based on your thoughts if your own child should be playing them. I agree that gaming surface content can be bad but the hidden message itself can help a child become social if its like Xbox live where you are able to chat with people all over the world. A lot of games can help a child with hand and eye coordination, and can be a very positive things for some children who need the help. Also my thoughts in the social content it helps a child be able to actuallly talk, for example if one is really shy being able to socialize on this game your not really seeing ones face just hearing their voice which helps a child's speech.
