Educational Satires

I really enjoyed to read these articles and watch the video. I though all three of them were extremely entertaining. The video for instance, took college stereotypes to the extreme, and made fun of all the things students look at when trying to choose a school to go to. I thought the animal article really brought to light how stressful classes can be for students, especially because we may be good at one, but not at another. After a while we may suffer in our classes, and become even more stressed out. I thought the second article was the most interesting. With all of the developing technology right now, maybe in 20, 30, or even 100 years, parts of our "educational technology" will be obsolete. Even now, most classrooms have whiteboards with dry erase markers, not blackboards. It really pointed out things that could very well happen. For instance, when Wikipedia published school books online and replaced hard copies. Even now many book stores are going out of business because their hard copies of books are not being sold, and everything is slowly going to e-readers and online. I thought all three satires were funny, but there was an underlying truth to all of them.
