It's awesome because My school is using Itouches for leaning. If you think about it, As time goes by- Technology gets batter at a shorter period of time than before.

Thanks for this 2 minute concise summary of what challenges all of us interested in education and how it is best accomplished today. I am sharing on the face book page for my book: "Americas School Bus. Its Time to get off." It is a call to action for education change. Nice work!

The challenge for educators and school districts is to try to catch up to how their students are consuming and sharing information. You bring up many good points in this video, thanks for sharing.

@LightspeedSystemsInc  I like the statement consuming and sharing information...thanks for the comment.

Let's be real. I am all for change in education....but let's admit that it was necessary for students to be clumped together with like-aged students for 8 hours a day because their parents are at work for those same 8 hours. Because those parents left the rural farms and moved to cities, and because child-labor laws prevented young children from working in those same factories. So until we really answer that question...they system isn't going to change much.

@mochaluv49 It is awful if my chosen vocation is strictly a gloried babysitting service....I understand what you are saying, and I do not feel that the hours and time of day is not so much the issue in education it is the method in which we deliver and our goals...but thanks for the comment.

While I think there are changes that can happen to the structure of education. When I close the door and I am with my students, I don't act like a glorified babysitter. We have a lot to accomplish, and we are about the business of World History. I think that teachers need to control that which we can, and we have plenty of impact and opportunity when we close the door.

Thanks for the dialogue.

@allpurposelibrarian We have always had industrialized education so has this myth been something new or am I misreading your comment? Please expand...:)

@allpurposelibrarian Since I have gained access to the information at my finger tips on the web as an adult I have not gone into a library for myself. I have taken my young son but any information that I need, I have been able to access it on the web. So, before the web I used the library as a source of information and something better has come along so does the libraries role need to change?
