Blog Post #8

    Randy Pausch's Last Lecture was by far one of the best video's I have seen thus far. Pausch's talked about three important thing's that caught my attention: (1)Childhood dream's (2) Helping Other's (3) and Lesson Learned. He teaches us no matter how hard life maybe we are still able to reach our dreams no matter what.
    The most important topic to me was when he talked about the "Head Fake", basically student's are thinking they are learning one particular thing when they are actually learning multiple things at one time. What I learned from this video is that our critics are our motivators. When no one is critiquing you is when you need to be worried if you are doing a good job or not. Pausch's has been through a lot of trials and tribulation with his health problems. Pausch's has not giving up on his dreams, if anything he has been motivated after everything he has been through. I notice he does not use his health problems as a excuse and he do not want people to have self pity for him either. He continue to pushed for his dreams so he can eventually inspire other's.
    I believe Randy Pausch's is a true advocate of Project Base Learning he explain's and gives a lot of examples of PBL in his video. Being a teacher, this is a great way to teach your student's different assignments and projects that way you will be able to teach to the student's and also learn from the feedback that they give you from what they learned. Once again, this was a great video to view and I think Randy Pausch is a great leader for teacher's throughout the world.

  1. "Pausch's talked…" AND "...Pausch's has been through…" AND "... Pausch's has not giving up …" given, not giving, Pausch, not Pausch's "...basically student's are thinking…" students, not student's "... Pausch's has not giving up …" You must learn bout obsessive nouns and when to use them. This is a continuing problem of yours.

    "...and he do not want people …" does or did, not do In this case did is the appropriate form since he died six months after doing the video

    "...of Project Base Learning…" Based, not Base

    "...he explain's and gives…" explains, not explain's

    "Being a teacher, this is a great way to teach your student's different assignments and projects that way you will be able to teach to the student's and also learn from the feedback that they give you from what they learned." students, not student's (TWICE) Stop the sentence after projects. Start the next sentence with You will…."

    "...Being a teacher, this is a great way to teach your student's different assignments and projects that way you will be able to teach to the student's and also learn from the feedback that they give you from what they learned." teachers, not teacher's
