Digital Classroom Integration

A Vision of K-12 Students Today

This video gives a great perspective into the lives of our students and how their learning capacity can be stifled by their teachers in the digital world.  Their creativity is limited in the digital realm.  Most often this is the realm that they feel most comfortable with, is exactly the media that teachers feel the most unease with.  Teachers need to rise to the challenge and experiment with this new technology that their students are learning.

The Educational Challenge

The field of teaching has not changed in comparison to the other fields in the past 100 years.  Teachers need to take a different perspective of teaching and the environment that they teach in.  Teachers have to ask themselves are they relevant in todays changing world.  They also have to ask themselves are they creating life long learners, all while complying with todays rigorous standards.  Simply presenting material to the students, is no longer acceptable.  Students can find the material on the internet easily enough.  Creating critical thinkers who can adapt to a changing world is the challenge.
