Did You Know

Here is a link to Tom Slagle's 2008 Latest Edition "Did You Know"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpEnFwiqdx8

From Will Richardson http://willrichardson.wikispaces.com/

Why is this important? Because the world is changing, and we are changing it, and our students need to know how to change the world with these technologies. (Water Buffalo Movie)

How do we learn to help our students leverage the technologies they are already using instead of have them check them at the door? (Especially when our students can get around our efforts anyway.)

How do we change? How do we re-envision teaching for a vastly changed world?

What do we have to unlearn about schooling and education?

How do we the use of these technologies in our own practice?

How do we begin to change the culture of schools?

I welcome your comments on these issues as they pertain to you and your role in promoting 21st Cenutry Skills in the CSD 7-1.
