There are two parts to this reflection, the format of the video and the content.
I thought the format of "using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds for a total of just five minutes" made the video feel fresh and exciting. It had a much more electric feel than your average power point and I found myself straining to make sure I caught everything he said. Just the format had me engaged.
The content of the video was about authentic learning. I appreciated how Ben understands learners need for a real purpose, I have a feeling his students never ask, "why are we learning this?" He makes it sound so easy. Create a context, stay connected, become an expert, etc... I found myself thinking I can use all of this in my math class, using technology. Authentic learning transcends content.
