Khan Academy Video Response

I watched the Cancer video in the Biology section, this video didnt really have any connection with my courses expect that I'm in Biology, I just found the subject interesting.
Sustian: I enojoied watching the video because it gave alot of valuable information that I wasnt aware off.

Change: During the video they guy talking would get off topic once in awhile from the main subject.

I was absent the day that we watched the videos about flipping the classroom, so I'm not really sure what everyone means by that.

TED

1.       Ted organization is about issues in todays socitey that get brought up and discussed for futher research.
2.       The purpose of there website is to see lots of issues in our socitey and get educated about them. There website has so many videos to learn from.
3.       The most interesting to us through this class is the ones about enginnering and making new items.
4.       As an enginner I personal like the videos about discovering items like my favorite video they have is about the Titantic. I love discovering new things that improve your knowledge.
6.  The point of watching and choosing a video to learn more about is so that I can be informed. A way that I coudl get involved is if I first learn more about the discoveres and then get involved through the TED program. Leading to maybe geting more informed and one day possibly making my own video about more discoveres
