PLN 4

I read "Dang! I Just Missed It" by David Warlick an article about how education in the past needs to admit the mistakes it made and that our generation can learn from it. It was an article about seeing Mars with the naked eye as large as the moon, then people later learned that it all was just a big hoax. Warlick went on saying that in the 60s people didn’t question what they read, that what they read was always right, but that isn’t the case anymore there can be misleading facts such as saying you need a 75 magnification lens to see it as the size of the moon. Scientists also proved that we would die if Mars would be that close, the gravitational pole would kill and end life as we know it today. This mattered to me because peoples facts aren't always right and they might try to mislead me; so I need to pay attenetion to what is true and accurate to help maintain good grades. If students around the world are reading and taking in misleading facts then they won't learn true information that will help them learn the things they need to. The world needs to learn from the mistakes of the past and be taught to work on improving the facts of the future.

  2. Looking down alot, seems that you might need to make your notes smaller and then go into detail.

  7. You had good posture. He did a good job at making you ponder and want to challenge what the media and literature is feeding us as a nation. I though he did a great job at keeping it straight forward and not confusing.

  13. Over all your presentation was good, the final question was very deep and thought through. You need to memorize a little bit more because you looked at your note cards and stopped and started quite a bit.

  19. Justin, you are a great presenter. You did a great job of standing straight and going into detail. You did a good job of looking at the audience but you also looked at your notes a lot. You didn't fidget around and it made your presentation that much better. Your end question was deep and really made me think.

  25. it looked as though you practiced alot. You obviously read through the expectations a few times, and made sure that you had everything perfect. The only thing, was that you seemed a little nervouse, so try practicing to a family member or in the mirror.
