The Youtube video "Thinking Creatively" explores three concepts: Content, Technology, and Pedagogy. To began with, I liked how the instructors set up the video. Instead of recording themselves giving a presentation that borrowed an idea from Stephen Colbert (I'm a huge fan) and displayed their massage with two different content boxes of sorts. In the video blog the authors discuss three problems. The first is that "Teaching with technology is a wicked problem." Then "Wicked problems require creative solutions," and finally that teacher are designers of the total PACKage." What I thought was most interesting is what the author said teacher are supposed to be. Not only are we meant to educate, but we are expected to be wise, funny, dramatic, sensitive, and flexible. I think this is an important notion because I hope to be those things for my future students.
