All true what they say. But there are some 20th century skills we probably don't want to lose (handwriting, doing math without a calculator, basic understanding of how to structure a sentence, spelling, etc.) I have to laugh too when we talk about schools being behind the technology curve. Most freshmen at the high school where I teach are more skilled using a computer than a majority of our faculty. What teachers need is more paid time to collaborate and update their skills. Never enough time!

It makes me sad and distressed to see so many negative replies on what is a very positive video. At no point i did I hear one educator suggest that we should not help students learn to read or write, or to learn Math, and yet that seems to be the fear. As an adult, a mother and a teacher I know that my own child and all the children in my classroom learn faster than I do, I strive to have at least a basic understanding of the technology they encounter on a daily basis but often they teach me!

The death of education and the dawn of learning... makes me extra happy!

I think this video is great- and I encourage others to stop taking it personally and find a solution to this problem in America go away and start finding solutions to help our education progress forward. Instead of holding back and staying tradition, technology is coming whether we want it to come or not. Instead of fighting it, learn it, teach it and learn to accept change, because it's coming rather we want it to come or not; the longer we wait on accepting this, the further our children fall.

Another soundbite video telling me what "it's about". You want to know what it's about? I'll tell you -- it's about money, ie the lack thereof. Show me how to procure a class set of ipods at $250 a pop, and I'll make sure my students get the best possible use out of them. Otherwise, stop preaching to me as though I'm the problem.

My point is that nobody paid the children to learn technology skills.

Educators are holding the students back!
