Being in the forefront of the shift in education to meet the needs of today’s digital learners, I want to share two very inspiring and awakening videos with you. The first video focuses on the student of today and their needs, while the second video shares with you a view of what today’s teacher aught to be in order to meet the educational needs of today’s learners.
“A Vision of K-12 Students Today” was created to inspire teachers to begin using technology in engaging ways in order to promote the development of higher level thinking skills in their students. Equally important, it serves to motivate district level leaders to provide teachers with the technology tools and professional development training to accomplish this goal.

“Digital World… Today’s Teachers’ is about how today’s teachers are changing the culture of education in the 21st century through the use of technology and web 2.0 tools and resources. This incredibly inspiring and thought-provoking video is a highlight of the 21st century teacher working in a digital world. I invite you to watch the video and then ask yourself, “Am I a teacher of today?”

Hello! I came across your site and I LOVED the videos you posted. I am an English/Language Arts teacher currently studying Educational Technology at the graduate level and I think these videos are very inspirational… yet telling about the ways that education needs to adapt and improve to keep up with the times. I will keep checking back to your blog for more!
I am currently beginning my own blog, http://www.technologyintheenglishclassroom.blogspot.com. I’d love to hear any advice/suggestions/comments that you might have!
