In this video Sir Ken
Robinson is talk about the public education system. He criticized and not in
side of public education system. He sasy thay the paradigm of public education
is changed on the basis of two things, that is cultural and economic. In the
society cultural position and economical position both are very important. So,
the purpose of poblic education is to make to student at higher position as
cultural and economically. Our traditional education system is very different.
Students are not allow to enter in other classes, they can not learn other
things, except their main subject. They
become masters in only one subject. Another important thing which Ken
Robinson discuss is 'Divergent Thinking'. We think that by divergent thinking
student can not focus in study, but Ken
Robinson says that through divergent thinking student can creat a lot many
things and can improve their creativity. We can also says that there is be
possible of isoleted learning to collaborative learning, active learning to inreractive
learing. Students become downloaders to uploaders, they become users to
creators and contributors.

5 :- Marc Prensky: Digital Natives, Dgital Immigrants
In
this video Marc Prenscky talk about Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. The
present time is the time of technology. So, the new generation is growing up
with technology and also take education through self learning with
technology rather than traditional way
of teaching. Life of today's generation is surrounded by using computers, video
games, Digital music players, cell phons and all the other toys and tools of
the digital age. They spent less time in reading and spent more time in playing
video games or with digital tools. All the digital things like T.V, Computers,
Emails, cell phones etc. are integral parts of their lives. Thos who were not
born into the digital world but have at some later point in our lived becomes
fascinated by and adopted many or most aspects of the new technology and always
will be compared to them that they are immigrants. Digital natives are learn
technology very fast, while digital immigrants take a time to learn digital
things. there is two types of content, first content is legacy content to bar
the computers term for old systems and the second is future content. Legacy
content includes reading, writing, arithmetic, logical thinking, understanding
to writings and ideas of past etc. all of our traditional curriculams future
content includes the high technological things in it.
In Future for
Digital natives there is no need to learn tables or multiples and
calculation, they learn only how to install calculator. So, we can say that if
digital immigrants wants to teach IE to digital natives, they have to change
their methodology of traditional teaching and they have to learn new
methodology of teaching with new technology.

Dear readers,
here I am sharing my views on the topic 'Can Technology replace Teacher?'
Still we think that 21st
century of Sceince and Tchnology. But now in present time, we have to change
our thinking, now 21st century is a century of information and communication
through Technology. We use tchnology in every field like, medical, buisiness,
agriculture and education and many more. At education level there is one
question is raised now a days, that Can technology replace reacher? and also
many other questions raised about technology and teachers. like, What does
technology do for us?
We know that 'every Coin has two
sides'. So, there is also good side and bad side also. For this question 'Can
Technology replace Teacher?' there is two types of views that is possitive and
negative also. There is advantages and disadvantages of technology.
¶What
does Technology do for us?
This is very important question that
what does technology do for us? Technology is very helpful in classroom . In
English classes, students are able to watch videos of some novels and plays.
They watch it and learn it in better way, they also watch at home or anywhere.
Technology is growing not just within our classrooms but also in our everyday
lives. So, it is therefor natural that we should increasingly incorporate it
into classrooms. Technology also save
time and drive efficiency. By automating work such as assighnments, marking and
result compilation.
¶Teacher
will not replace by Technology.
Teacher will never replace by
technology. A lot of the magic and aha moments that happen in the classroom are
due to a teacher's ability to coach, coax and challenges their students. The
capacity to creat a learning relationshim requires an element of humanity and
is a difficult skill to master. For this and many other reasons technology can
not replace teachers, it will empower them. The role a teacher plays in
classroom is huge. Everyone knows this on a personal level and can identify a teacher
or mentor who has had influence on us or changed our tranjectories in a
positive way.
Teacher are not and can not be
automatons handing out information to students. They are leaders, guides,
facilitators and mentors. They encourage students when they struggle and
inspire them to set and reach for their goals. They are role models, leading by
example and giving direction when necessary. A computer can give information,
but a teacher can lend a hand, or an ear
and discern whatis necessary for students to succeed, and to want to succeed.
So, we can say yes, technology is
going to play a critical role in a future of education. But not as big a role
as that of a teacher. So, technology can not replace teacher.

At the end of the story, Otoo secrifies his life to save the narrator from the shark. Through out the life Otoo serves the narrator.The Narrtor himself, Jack London was experienced of the Sea life. He had worked on the ships. So his potrtrayed of the Sea life can be more effective and realistic. 'The Heathen' shows many aspects of the Sea life.

Any Discussion about modern tragedy would be incomplete without considering Eugene O'Neile's contribution to enrich the field of drama. 'The Hairy Ape' points out the misery of mankind who has lost his identity in the technologically advanced modern world. The main idea in the play is in the wast universe to whom the man belongs, the search for identity is the main point. Here, man does not live by bread alone, but spiritual help and well being are also necessary. Man can be lonely in a crowd, the tragedy of Yank is the tragedy of millions in the modern age.
Yank, the central character of this play possesses several characteristics of the 'Ape'. He resembles to Ape as he is very strong, a well muscledman with hair on his chest. Miss Douglass calls him, "Filthy Beast", the hairy ape. This remark changes life of Yank, so the title is apt to the play. A drama is designed in act. 'The Hairy Ape' is short play that is devided into 8 scenes. The plot is well built.
Since, 'The Hairy Ape' is a play, it has limited scop of settings action take place in the play mainly at few places. The play opens at the stock room and furnance room where the eorkers fad the coal to the fire. Later on, the setting shift from ship to fifth Avenue and then the prision on black wells ireland, then action take develop at I.W.W. office and the last scene takes place in teh Zoo in the cage of Gorilla. In this short play. O'Neill presents a variety of settings which also serves as a symbol.
As a whole, this tragedy enriched the tressure of American tragedy by its approprate title, suitable themes, well constructed plot, well portrayed characters, its variety of settings, technique of using symols in the play. O'Neill also used his unique style in this tragedy.
'The Bluest Eye' points out a realistic picture of the black community in America by an American novelist Toni Morrison. 'The Bluest Eye' is a well chosen title that is short, simple and meaningful. It has a symbolic value that indicats here as the central character of this story Pecola's dreams to have the Bluest Eye. Moreover the title shows superlative form Bluest of the adjective blue which means Pecola wishes to have the most beautiful eye.
There is not one but more themes in 'The Bluest Eye' like whiteness as standared of beauty, the power of stories, sexual initation and abuse etc. make the novel a complex one. Morrision points out the whitness is superior and standared of beauty. The novel introduses a powerfull gallary of characters. The novel presents the life of black people through the characters of Pecola Claudia and Frieda. The pre-adolescents, they are leading characters.
'The Bluest Eye' has a strong plot construction. The whole storty is told through the character of Cloudia, She represents as a child and an adult as well as the third person. There are total 11 chapters in the novel connected logicaly. 'The Bluest Eye' is a rich in symbolism. Morrison has made use of many symbols like 'Home' that symbolizes the contrast life of two black or Negro girls. While the title 'The Bluest Eye' itself is a symbolic one that suggests Pecola's strong desire of blue eyes. It stands for beauty as well as sadness. Another impotant symbols 'Marygold' it symbolises the well fare life of Claudia and Frieda as well as it symbolises the deathe of Pacola's baby.
'The Bluest Eye' possess a classical level by the symbolic title, well constructed plot, various themes, settings, symbolism and unique style, rich gallary of characters. This is a novel which possess unique.
'Friendship' poem written by Henery David Thoreau. This is a common title 'Friendship' that is found in many other literary works like essays, poems and short stories. But the way Thoreau glorifies 'Friendship' is really unique. The poem focuses on the biggest relationship 'Friendship'.
H.D Thoreau analysis friendship from its roots and finds out that there is no difference between love and friendship, both are equally important in relationship. Love is the greatest force on the earth and it is the base of every relationship. No filling is purer and superior to love in life. A person with love is always in majority. Love can be seen in many relationships like husband and wife, parents and children, brother and sister etc. But love is incomplete without friendship. In any relationship there has to be element of friendship in order to make a successful relationship.
Friendship is a gift, you give to yourself. A true friend is a God's blessing. Friends are the most important and crucial part of our life. A person or any relative who treat you like friend is someone with whom you feel comfortable. You can easily share your joy and sorrow with your friends. They are your backbone, you need them in every part of life.
The Poet combines both these elements and remarks that they are inter connected. Friendship laid on the dround of love will always be successful but when friendship is laid on the base of selfishness the friendship looses its charm. End of Friendship means end of Love.
The poem 'Friendship' not only highlights the dignity of friendship but also establishes its bond with love. H.D Thoreau is a thinker so his poetry expresses the ideas more than feelings.
'Daffodils' is the master piece by the romantic poet William Wordsworth. He is also considered as the major natural poet. Who brings revolution in to the field of English poetry. Publication of 'Lyrical Ballad'(1798) is landmark in the history of English poetry.
The present poem deals with the theme of nature. Wordsworth shows his motherly affection towards nature. William Wordsworth establish the relation between nature and human. This poem has three different levels, that is phonological level, structural level and semantic level.
In the beginning of the poetry the poet is in pensive mood and wanders lonely as a mids of mountain. Poet compares himself with cloud in the sense that they both have no direction and no aim, all of a sudden, the poet happens to see host of golden daffodils. Which dance with breeze situated and beside the beneath the tree. Here, the poet gives complete picture of daffodils and their position.
"....I wandered lonely as a cloud,
that floats on high o'er vales and hills."
In the second stanza, the poet goes on to accessed his limit and stretches it to the level of exaggeration. The poet compares daffodils with shining star- star's shin in the sky. Similarly daffodils shine on the earth in a Jovian mood. The poet claims that he sees Ten thousand daffodils at a glans. The poet vision or eye fall shots to see the ending line of daffodils to narrate the beauty of daffodils. The poet says that the crowd of daffodils dance by tossing their heads.
"....Ten thousand saw i at a glance,
tossing their heads in sprightly dance."
In the third stanza, the poet describe the location of daffodils exactly beside the crowd of daffodils, that is a running flow of river. Intention of the poet to compare river and daffodils. Daffodils is to compare weaves of the river with weaving of the daffodils. This creats rhyming effect the mesmerising effect of the scene has megical effect on the poet. Hence, the poet is nothing but gay. The poet calls such a company as jocund company. In emmersed condition, the poet gazed....and gazed....the beauty of nature. the poet considered this as true wealth. ".....A poet could not be gay, in such a jacund company: I gazed....and gazed...but little thought". The final stanza takes turn, it is only in this stanza that readers comes to know that poet talks about his past experience. This poetry is the fruit of poet's imagination and experience. The poet recallects such Zocand experience when he is in vacent or pensive mood. The poet says that such a sweet memories are bliss of solitude. Such a memories flash upon inward eye. When the poet is alon and their remains non but the poet and sweet memories. This fills the poet heart with pleasure and starts dancing with the deffodils. "....And they my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the daffodils". In short, the poet nurrats his wonderful experience being with deffodils, it also takes in to the account the effect of nature on human being. Thus, the poem establishes the relationship between human and nature.
