21st Century Realizations and Challenges in Education

Posted by jeremyl on October 30, 2007




This first video shared with me by Bud in technology on his blog was posted on youtube and gives a glimpse at our students view of education today.  This second video is a follow-up to the first video and shows the challenges and changes that need to take place from the educator’s world.

 Real challenges we all face.  I attended a technology conference in Nashville two weeks back and one main point among many that hit me straight on is the fact that we are the digital immigrants teaching to the digital natives.  I believe we each need to be aware of this reality and understand that we need to lead and challenge ourselves to understand this technology and find ways to integrate it into our instruction.  Our students need to be interactive in their learning.

 One final addition, if you have not seen it shift happens.
