Randy Pausch's Last lecture I watched the video and I am not to sure I get it. He talked about childhood dreams, what are child hood dreams? Are those the dream you had and hope to accomplish what you envisioned? The lecture was very interesting to hear and he makes a lot of good points,but is he saying that our dreams should inspire us to achieve and want more in life as we become adults? How do our dreams play a part in learning? How can we teach from that aspect?
the more I think about the video, the more questions I have. He explained some different teaching methods to try and help a person achieve their life dream, but how does this help in teaching others? Are you teaching them from experience of what you have accomplished? I get the point when he makes the statement,about the brick wall, If a person wants something bad enough, then you won't let that wall keep you from accomplishing what is important. The things you work the hardest for are the most rewarding ones, and I guess he was saying that it should make you feel good about those accomplishment.
Mr. Paush seem to be a very intelligent man who has a different outlook on teaching methods. I some what understand how his teaching will make a student want to learn by putting what a person dreams into a reality. This can only happen if you pursue and follow through with your aspirations. As dreamers we must realize nothing comes easy,and that is what he means when he talks about the brick wall.

Mr. Pausch talked about being a football player and how the coach used reverse strategy on him to get him to realize that everything is not black and white, or as they seem. He touched on a lot of good points on how you can make a dream a reality, but that only will determination. I believed that was what he was trying to get everyone to realize. The video was gain some what difficult for me to comment on, and my interpretation may not be what you were looking to read, but this is what I got from his lecture. We should do all we can do to get kids to be creative and high achievers in school and to get over that brick wall and fulfill your accomplishes as a child and as an adult. That is why education and teachers are so important, because a teacher plays abig part in helping children achieve their goals.He was a man that dedicated his life to showing others how to achieve what you wanted in life. He was truly an inspiring man who promoted education in many forms, and even though he has passed his dreams will live on.
