I chose to the do the article rather than the podcast because I found that the article peaked my interest more and was able to better understand the article better than the podcast. The article Digital Ghosts in the Modern Classroom by Ashley Hinck and reviewed by Gregory Zobel, Jessica Knott, and Maha Balihad peaked many things for myself but I decided to specifically to discuss how both teachers and students react to digital media in the classroom as well their experiences.
I found as I read the article that most students are facing the same issues. Some of these issues are that students are afraid of failing and pushing the limits, they would rather think outside of the box because they think it will turn bad if they do so. As teachers, we try to make students more comfortable different media platforms but when teachers try to help students they give them that look like they have four eyes and don’t understand you. I felt as though the students and teachers were so interconnected because we as teachers can learn so much from students as they can from us. The method I decided to use express was a self-made mind map. I thought that this would be the best method to use for the teacher-student similarity.
I used different colours to draw your eyes to different parts of the mind map, I also included a school which is placed in the centre of the mind map because schooling is the central part of this entire article and needs to be the main focus.
