I've been a teacher for over twenty four years and find it more exciting every day as we move into the 21st century. I'm married and have three children who keep me going. Having just completed my Master of Science in Educational Media Design and Technology I look towards a new career as an Instructional Technology Specialist or Designer.
They are always showing videos from students and how they connect and want 21st century tools to learn. In this video they come from the teachers point of view, and it makes some very good points.
Mark- I loved this video. I am a visual learner, and it was so nice to find a video to watch and comment on! So, how come I haven’t found one to put on my blog? HMMM…. The concept I liked the most was that the teachers are aligning their teaching to the student’s real lives. That’s what is most important about 21st Century teaching. Thanks for the inspiration.

Mark, what a great video. It still focuses on the 21st Century learner, but I think it empowers teachers. Teachers can watch this video and know that others just like them have learned how to evolve and change to meet the needs of their students. There are so many things we have seen and experienced about how children learn throughout our EMDT journey that it is very refreshing to see a video that validates what we are doing and allows us to share with our colleagues the possibilities in teaching.
