This video we watched on Youtube really made me think about not only how much the world has changed to fit this day and age, but how we can adapt to make it work. Yes, older generations complain about how the youth today are computer savvy and are always on their phones, but this video explains how teachers can use that to their advantage. Texting assignments, having assignments involve texting or computers are just a few examples of what teachers could do. The article 'In the Basement of the Ivory Tower' is a story in the point of view of a professor and what he has to go through when he makes the decision of giving a student, even if she is 40 years old, and 'F' on her paper.
I think both the article and the video opens the reader and viewers eyes to change and what we can do to accept the change that is happening in the world. Not only are these sources informative, but they let you create your own opinion about the topic and let you come up with ideas to adapt to issues today. I would like to read more stories from this author and view more videos from the creator of 'Pay Attention' because of how they have impacted the way I think. They helped me think outside the box when trying to discover more unique and creative ways to dealing with our youth today.
1. Why would the author of 'In the Basement of the Ivory Tower' want to stay anonymous?
2. Does the creator of 'Pay Attention' think that those ideas would really work?
3. What age group was 'Pay Attention' created for?

Whad up Jami? I really enjoyed reading your article. I though that your views on the You Tube video were very similar to mine. I liked it how you mentioned that the older generations complain about how the youth today are computer savvy and are always on their phones, but this quality is not necessarily a bad one. I definitely agree with the statement that you made about how the article and the video opens up peoples minds and eyes to help us accept the change that is happening in our world. Good luck with the remainder of the year and thanks for cooking me fish in my dorm.
