Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture
The last lecture is viewed by many people in the U.S. and this long video is a heart-tugged message by Dr. Pausch. The last lecture was given by Randy Pausch at Carnegie Mellon University. He is recognized as a leading expert of virtual reality.(VR) Although he was too young to give the last lecture, he had a reason why he had to leave the university in which you had lectured for long term. That's why he had three to six months to live at that time because of a cancer. Actually, the lecture was not for us. It was for his children, Dylan, Logan, and Chloe. In the lecture, he talked about his childhood dream, enabling the dreams of others, how we can achieve our dreams or enable the dreams of others. In the great lecture, he gave us a lot of important things as a child, student, as an adult, as a teacher, as a woman and as a human being, I talk about the several things that I was moving.
I got the first good thing when he talked about playing in the NFL, one of his childhood dreams. Graham, his coach of football team practiced no football, taught him the importance of the fundamental through his practice, ride him all practice. The important thing is what Randy was said by his coach Graham when the coach let him overcome his disadvantages. The coach taught him that being given a correction is what he was expected. Randy told us the learning in his football practices by his coach Graham. That's the critics are what ones still love the kids. I think we need that thing when educators teach the kids because the kids may think what they are doing if they do not corrected by adults who love them and know the right things. When the kids do wrong things, we have to point out the wrong things and then let them think of how they change and/or demonstrate the right things. I think they can not grow up if the kids who did the wrong things are not shown their faults.
In addition, he give us the importance of the critics when he talked about ETC project, the Dream Fulfillment Factory which he accomplished with with Don Marinelli in the last part of this video. That was it is important for the kids to get a feedback and listen to it. It is difficult not only for the kids but for adults to receive the critics from others. For this reason, educators should teach the kids how the critics help them and let them think of how the critics help themselves.
Next, I got the second good thing to teach the kids when he talked about Building Virtual World (BVW) project. In this project, 50 students from art, CS, design, and drama ware randomly chosen, and make a team and the teams ware changed per project. He learned the important thing from his professor when he graded his students for this project. That was limitation is just preventing students to grow up. I think the kids have unexpected abilities and they can grow up the abilities through their experiences. I think the more they grow up, the more they enjoy learning and have a serious attention to learn. Therefore, teachers should give many chances for the kids to experience various things. For example, teachers take them to a company, a factory, a museum, a concert, a hospital, a university, a laboratory, etc. I think teachers should give them various social studies field trips to help them find their dream in the future.
Finally, I got the third good thing when he talked about the recital of the BVW project. He said that it is the best gift to give his students a chance to find the mind that they want to give pleasure to others. I was impressed by this word because I thought teacher can give the students a lot of chances to know various things and feeling such as joy, fun, pleasure, smile, sad, ugly, and so on. Teacher tell them when they feel these minds and whether these minds are right or not. In addition, teachers should not give the minds others when the minds are bad, for example, sad, ugly, angry, terrible, fear, etc. I am really to give a chance for my students to find the mind that they can give pleasure to others. I am proud of myself as a teacher when I can give the mind for them.

hi Keiko,
ReplyDeleteI think there are a few writing problems in your post. In on sentence, you wrote: "Although he was too young to give the last lecture, he had a reason why he had to leave the university in which you had lectured for long term." I think a better way to write this sentence is: " Although he was very young, he had a reason why he gave his last lecture." This keeps the sentence short, and easier to read.
Other than some of those types of errors, your post is good and very thoughtful. It might be a good idea to as a friend to proofread your post so you can have two people looking at your post.
