After watching the videos on Vision and Hearing I will use the information I acquired by watching for the warning signs that the students may have a problem with their vision. I will also not assume that all of my students can hear perfectly and may need some one on one attention to guarantee that they fully understand the assignments and the material covered in class. I will also use the information to educate my parents as to why I may believe their child is having problems in these areas and try and help direct them to get the proper medical attention for their child.

After watching the videos on brain architecture, plasticity, and understanding the impact of the environment on a child it will impact me as a teacher by making me more aware of the impact I truly have on each child in my classroom. Everyday as they come to my class I know that am a key player in sculpting their brain and molding them into the person they will grow up to be. I always knew from my experience in school how important each teacher I had was in my life, however I never fully understood why. With the knowledge from the videos I will forever have the image of the sculpting brain and will know that I will have a hand in changing my students and I will decide to try my hardest to be nothing but a positive experience in their life.
