I’m recycling a couple of videos that I have posted in the past, mostly because I believe that they’re worth watching again. These videos – the original higher ed version of “A Vision of Students Today” by Mike Wesch, the spin-off , called “A Vision of K-12 Students Today”, and “The Networked Student”, created by Wendy Drexler’s high school students – bring to mind many thoughts that I find both challenging and encouraging. Hopefully you will, too.
Students are moving forward, in terms of technology, and they are finding limitless opportunities to explore and create on-line. Are we making sure that we teach them how to do this wisely? Are we building on these innate interests and talents? Are we harnessing the power of technology to optimize their educational experience?

Excellent post! As educators we MUST be able to use the technology. I am so happy when I find educators such as yourself that understand technology, and are using it in an effective manner.
Keep it up, I am going to add your rss feed.

As a teacher, who has just started getting her master’s in Integrating Technology into the Classroom, I really appreciated the video’s. These helped inspire me and energize me in my future adventures in using technology into my classroom. Thank you! I will be sharing this with my fellow classmates. I am a new teacher and I am very excited about what is to come. However, it is scary to see how teachers around me who just will not move forward with technology. How long do you think it will take to get everyone on the same page?
