1) the video is …
1) the video is using satire to point out that many classrooms have not changed in 100 years.
2) No, nothing of the sort. Whatever gave you that idea? It has little in common with Shift Happens, even as a response.
3) See 1) above in YOUR OWN post: The message of this video is CLEARLY SATIRICAL: The world is changing but education is not. Teaching using old methods is not working and we need to change, it’s so old and outmoded that a guy from 100 years ago recognizes it and feels at home!
Scott-first of all, …
Scott-first of all, your snobbish writing down to the poster “Sorry I’ll simplify it for you” is repugnant. Grow up.
YOU are the one that is entirely missing the point of this video in your critique, so perhaps you need things simplified a bit…oops! Now who looks “out of touch?”
1. Again your …
1. Again your definition of satire describes the video.
2. As I suspected (since you did not understand the sarcasm or irony) you completely misunderstood the video. Had you read the video description, the comments, or followed the link to the blog address at the beginning of the movie, you might have understood that the movie points out how education has not kept pace with changing technology in the world.
1. Satire: the use …
1. Satire: the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
2. This video, as I found it, was a response to the “Shift Happens” video outlining changes in the World. That video shows change, good and notable change for our youth to follow.
3. The message of this video is clear. Teaching using old methods is best. WRONG! The World is changing. Follow it or fail. Would you want students to fail?

>The video is a fake story made to point out an opinion to an extreme
Yes it is…that’s the definition of satire.
> The original video uses BOTH methods
What original video are you talking about? You seem to think this movie is a remake of another movie. It is not. And what methods are you talking about?
> This video’s idea is false and does not work.
What do you think the video’s idea is? Perhaps you misunderstood it.
Sorry, I’ll …
Sorry, I’ll simplify it for you. The video is a fake story made to point out an opinion to an extreme. The original video uses BOTH methods, not just an outdated method. Extremes don’t work, never did. This video’s idea is false and does not work. Is that easy enough for you?
I’m not sure I …
I’m not sure I understand your point. You seem to disagree with the video at the same time that you say the point is too obvious.
Sorry, but I find …
Sorry, but I find this video to be out of touch and really bad. Not with just today’s world, but with all time in history. The “Did You Know 2″ video was about augmenting teaching, not changing it completely. I’d label this video as “well DUH!” But, you also have to experience modern teaching WITH technology as an enhancment. It’s truly amazing, and so much better. If you rated this video high, then sit back and watch the World speed away from you, because it will…
