PLN 1

The video "A Vision of Students" by Mike Wesch really makes you think about what we learn in school and how it is relevant to your life and how we will integrate our school knowledge into our lives. The video has interesting facts in it like how students will spend hundreds of dollars on textbooks and never even open most of them, and one person said that only 18% of her teachers know her name, which sounds crazy now since all of my teachers know my name but when your class is usually made up of over 100 students it will probably sound like a pretty big percentage. These things matter to me because i want to do as well as i can in school and get to know my teachers well but it seems like that might be hard after watching this. It is interesting because it is matters to education because it is about how education effects us and how it play a major role in our lives. It matters to the world because we are the future and we will be based off of our education for the most part.

    remember to begin your post with a clear topic sentence that includes the title of the article, the author and what matters from the article. Title your post the number of the PLN. Then, in the heart of the body paragraph, explain how the article's what matters connects to you, to education and to the world around you. Finally, conclude with a clear topic sentence.
