Random Thing #5

Here is an amazing video about the changing technology and how it affects us.
This video is by Karl Fisch from Arapahoe High School in Littleton, Colorado and Scott McCleod. Karl is the technology director at his high school as well as a classroom teacher and one who fully embraces constructivism and how technology enables the implementation of this teaching philosophy. Though this is the 2006 version, Karl and Scott updated this presentation in 2008 to reflect new statistics and information.

I am currently in a technology class at school and we have been having an online discussion about this and other articles. One article focused on how we teach to the past. Teachers often do not focus on teaching kids about how to solve problems in the future. How do teachers do that exactly? It is an amazingly huge task. Students need to grasp creative problem solving. Students are capable of so much, I don't ever want to put their capabilities and education in a box.
