backchannel input

i really liked the backchannel. sometimes i would daze off and miss something but on the #dlit4 page, someone would be tweeting about it. it kinda summarizes whats going on in the video. it helped me understand the video better because i couldn't hear some of the important facts that were being said. twitter helped me realize what was going on and how the independent student body would be better than how schools are now.
the video that we watched showed me that an independent high school is better than how schools are now. kids are very contained by adults while in school. obviously school is boring, no one wakes up and is happy that they are going to school. we are trained to do it ever since we were 3,4, and 5. independence will let kids enjoy what they are learning about and not what they are told to learn. as we all know, kids are rebellious and dont like to listen to adults, especially teachers.
