Did you know 2.0?

I found the video "Did You Know 2.0?" very interesting, scary but interesting. I anticipate using it in some of my upcoming work with my colleagues at Concord High School. I continue to be worried that public education is behind the times and falling further behind. Public education is still tied to a factory model that may of made sense 30 years ago, but does not make sense today. I find myself constantly struggling to find new and improved ways to reach my students and provide an meaningful education for them. The idea of teacher as holder and then transferer of information simply does not work any more. Students need to learn how to access and make sense of the enormous and growing amount of information bombarding us all the time. If teachers are going to be successful in that quest we need new tools and new thinking.
