In my search for a comprehensive visioning for our Information Literacy program - This video hits it in a positive active way. Thanks. I just joined youtube, just so I could try to make contact. Is it ok to use this video at an administrative meeting in our school district? It is so much better than what I could create right now!

Thanks for a terrific, thought-provoking video. I just shared it at a faculty meeting and feedback was that they all want to see it again! Now we need to share it with our school board to get them to see the light.

Thanks for the feedback! What jurisdiction are you from?

The concept of public education is strategically flawed. This video accidentally admits as much when contrasting the vast progress of privately developed technology with the embarrassing lack of progress in public schools. No vast improvement will happen until we the consumer of education have the choice of where to spend our money. School choice is the right strategy.

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. - Sun Tzu

No, it's not. It's just one element of many.

Technology is not the key element of the 21st century? Really?

[Dwayne Schnell]

awesome!

Very swish video! I agree with everything this video promotes, and some of the ideas are exciting and very relevant to students' lives.

However, I feel that it focuses mostly on technology - as if that's the key element of 21st century education, which I don't believe it is. There is much more consider than that alone.

But, at least it's a step in the right direction.

I DON'T LIKE THIS VIDEO. I LOVE IT! The message is so clear and essential. If we as educators, learning designers etc... want to play a role in moving the world forward then we have to rethink learning design and delivery. Understand which elements of our current education operating model are no longer serving the 21st century student and invest to reinvent the learning experience. In South Africa we are experiencing an Education crisis and the current model will simply not do...
