Mr. Pausch's Last Lecture Video is incredibly touching and inspirational. I have worked in the medical field for over six and a half years and I have seen how easy it is to give up on yourself when you find out bad news. He has a beautiful outlook on life even tough he has recently received devastating news about his health. The fact the Mr. Pausch is not at home feeling sorry for himself, but out giving lectures to possibly change the lives of others is not only motivational but shows his passion for teaching.
He discusses how Projected Based Learning is a great way for students to express their creativity as well as their individuality. He also talks about how most students learn better and have a fuller understanding of the topics. As I have recently learned, project based learning is one of the greatest tools I can use to teach my future students difficult concepts.
Mr. Pausch also brings up a point I have been taught my entire life and that is being the best you can be. EVERYONE should try to keep this in mind not only in the classroom but in life. If you always push yourself to be the best you will go far in whatever you may be pursuing.
Dr. Pausch's lectures were truly inspirational. Regardless of the situation one encounters, as an instructor, we must continue to strive in bettering ourselves so we may have a greater impact on our students. Great post!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! His lecture was definitely motivational and definitely seems to inspire others. I love how even though he was only given so long to live, he went out there and made a difference to show that you push yourself and not just give up.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Hannah! His last lecture is so inspirational and I love how he wanted to make a difference in his students; lives even though he was only given a few months to live. He wanted to spend it helping others and I think that is so great.
