Gapminder #15

On gapminder I researched to population of children from 0 to 4 years old and their life expectancny. The life expectancy 76 percent of children live to age 4. The 14 percent pass away mostly from diseases that they get in the first months of life. I hate that little children lose their lives at a early age becasue of their living conditions.

The problem in this movie is the children are not getting an education. In the family that we watched the kids seemed like that did not even want to go to school, that eduaction was not a big deal to them. Then some children wish they could go to school, but they can not afford it. If the people would take more time in helping the children instetad of dancing the children might could get a education.

Khan Academy #13

In this video Salman Khan is changing the way people can learn. He wants to use technology to help students in the class room, but not only in the class room but outside also. He has affected teachers, parents, and children. He shows in the classroom how each student learns different. You can see the children that are learning faster to the children that are learning slower. Then the teacher can make a decision on how to better the students by maybe changing up the way they are taught.

I do feel like it is not fair for the students that want an education, that actually care what they do in life are not going to be about to because the government is taking it away from them. Students that do not have the money for college depend on that money to help them get through college.

I do not like how some schools are keeping information on students, I know it could be used as seeing how they do academically through the years but still. The sharing of the social security number is crazy, and how the principal can give the okay or not for these students information to be given is crazy, what about the parents??

1. That he is saying that many people are depending on him and that he has a big responsibility.

2. He used the game for to challenge people, for them to try their best. He also used his own experiences in the game. Also children love games, they have more of an intrest with games.

3. One of the roles in the game is leadership. Its making people see they need ot step up.

4. John Hunter referred to himself as a facilitaory

5. Condelence letter served as a way to teach the children respect.
