Education E-Archive
Over the course of the
semester our group has grown as students of adult education and has explored
different educators as well as education centers. As we have continued our
education in adult education we have also grown to respect the field itself. To
be able to see the struggles that adult education has faced when trying to gain
ground and grow as a profession. Throughout the semester we have been able to
learn about so many influential people who have made a difference and brought
the field to where it is today.
Important Aspects of Adult Education as covered in our
assignments
· TED
stands for technology, entertainment, and design, and has been bring
influential people to the field of adult education for almost 20 years. What
TED does for adult education is package learning in modern ways for modern
audiences while using time-tested proven concepts and techniques of adult
education. As we see technology and entertainment advance and become more
advance, it is important to make adults aware of these changes. By being aware
of advancements and new strategies then adults can prepare training programs
and seek out education for them.
· Chautauqua
Institution provides an opportunity for adult learners to gain an education in
an environment that supports their Christian beliefs. As an individual who has
come from catholic schools it is obvious that education is more valued when it
is studied in an environment that supports education and religious beliefs.
· The
Lumina foundation is an independent organization that strives to better the
education that individuals get at all levels of education. They are well known
for their goal to increase the percentage of Americans with “High Quality”
Degrees by the year 2025. It is very important for organizations like to
supported and recognized as they play such a large role in in advancements in
education.
· The
Small Planet Institute is an organization that promotes the betterment of lives
for those who are less fortunate. It is well known that a large majority of the
world’s population lacks proper education and by having institutions like this,
it allows those (including adults) to have the opportunity at gaining and
education. While organizations like this Small Planet fight an uphill battle,
it is important to support organizations that play such a crucial role.
· Malcolm
Knowles is often known as the “Father of Adult” education. As the Director of
Adult Education for a YMCA, Malcolm focused on the importance of life long
learner. Its individuals like Knowles that strive to improve the lives of
adults by giving them opportunities to learn and grow.
Ideals of Adult Education:
When
we were children and as we grew we were constantly told the importance of “Lifelong
learning” and that we should never be satisfied with what we have learned. It
is important that by pursing further education, one is helping those around
them learn as well. It is important to understand that adult education just
isn’t sitting in a classroom, but is learning about the world around you and
understanding how you can make a difference. Adult education can take place
anywhere as long as you as an individual are willing to learn.
You guys did an amazing job with your e-archive. I found it to be entertaining and informative. It really made the expereince fun and interactive in a way that still maintained the focus on adult eduation. I especially appreciated the way you made a point to explain that adult education is more than just traditional education and provided examples of both traditional and non-traditional adult education sources. It was also good to see a discussion of how adult education has benefits beyond the classrom and into social engagment and government action. the only thing i might do is go into the subjects in a little more detail to make this better dont take this to mean that what you have is bad becuase it truly is good. adding more detailed references to research and theory would just take it to the next level. great work all around for group 4
ReplyDeleteI loved your video! I hadn't thought of making something in that manner as a summation of what we've learned. The "quiz questions" were great. I also thought the length was perfect. It'd be easy to make something too long and lose your viewer's attention after a while.
ReplyDeletewoW, Keith and Kyle, this is an amazing video you created! I absolutely love it! :)
ReplyDeleteChris and Ben have already said what I want to say! I also like that your provided the link of your archive!
I like the music in the video too! Great teamwork!
Bo
This is awesome! You guys did a great job of going of the basics: who, what, why, where, and how! It was an informative and easy to operate learning tool! What program did you use to create this? The transitions were nice as well.

Thanks for the kind comments Katie. Powerpoint to make the slide show, screen capture to make the video, iMovie to add transitions add music and post to YouTube.
DeleteVery unique idea. As everyone said above the video and link were entertaining and informative.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I would have never thought to create a video. It was an entertaining way to provide a comprehensive overview of adult education as a whole. If you were going to present this to the public, I would also add links where one could obtain more information about your educators (Malcolm Knowles) or your organizations (TED, Highlander, etc).
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for trivia so the built-in quizzes definitely kept my attention too :)
Good job guys!!
Erin
