A Vision of K-12 Learners Today

I know that many have seen this video already. I have also seen it in many different forms including targeting college-age students. But, they all carry the same message. What are we doing to meet these digital natives? No wonder they are so bored in school. They are not engaged, challenged, and encouraged to become creators for the most part. As teachers, we have a responsibility to change the way we think and the way we teach. For some, the old style is so deeply ingrained that it can never change. For others, it is a challenge worth undertaking. I hope that many teachers fall into that latter category. Especially when I think of the futures of my own children.
