21st Century Learners

I've seen this video many times. It's scary in a way, because I feel so many of us are comfortable in the traditional delivery methods of teaching.
Practically, I also wonder... I don't think that many of our kids have as much access to technology as those in the video, so I'm not convinced that this pointed demand is being made on our campus. However, the role of an educator does demand that we be equipped to deliver an end product that can succeed in the real world. As a result, with the digital era comes the requirement for us to answer with appropriate teaching abilities. Hopefully, we will have the tech tools available for all students to take advantage of digital education strategies.

  1. I agree that many of our students do not have access outside of school. All the more reason why we need to expose them to technology while they are in school. One of the main things that I took from this video is that today's students are much different than those we taught 10 or 15 years ago and, in turn, their educational needs are different.
