Randy Pausch Acheiveing your Childhood Dreams:

This is a great video, Randy Pausch encourage us to live with our dreams and inspirations. I like the fact that he encourages us to create ideas and uses technologies in the classrooms more often. Randy Pausch is a great motivation in every children dreams as well as teachers, he believes in childrens’ dreams and their creativities according to his lecture called “Chasing Your Childhood Dreams”. He also mentions that as teachers we should try to help children meet their potential and reach to their goals. As educators we should help our students succeed and live their dreams and never stop believing it not come true. Reach for the goals and do not let anything interfere.

He discusses “head fakes” referring to indirect learning uses to teach children without them knowing it. Since children tends to participate at things like playing video games which is a great way to educate them. Pausch uses this method to help our children to think effectively and give out life lessons to his children. He also encourages teachers to challenge their students and said that to never give up on their children but inspire them. He passed away in 2008 of pancreatic cancer but his passion will live on and be remembered.
