I came across a wiki entry (see here), with a class-created video which I think sums up the true value of 21st century literacy and how it has changed the face of education. Have a look:
I think Mr. Truss has summed up the truly transformative nature of e-learning potential here. What do you think?
Brian, I completely support your sentiments! This is one very powerful video documenting the transformative nature of technology in the classroom. The way in which Mr. Truss highlighted the stark contrasts between digital learning and paper-and-pencil learning is very telling. Simply having access to the most up-to-date materials eliminates any real value associated with those pricey textbooks! The immediacy and connectivity that said applications afford us is equally as impressive and has significant implications for teaching.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed watching your video! I think it truly does some up the use of technology and the different medias out there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. David Truss and I follow one another on Twitter, so I was curious to see what he offers here. I agree with almost all that he says and had similar experiences watching students and teachers use technology. We should show this video in class, perhaps the night you demo Evernote.
