Week 4 Assignment

"Did You Know " is a powerful video. The facts and figures in this video are overwhelming and mind boggling. This video really sends a message about where the future of our children will go, which is beyond their community, beyond their country, it could even go beyond their own minds.

After watching this clip, I realized how important it is for everyone, but especially educators, to have computer skills beyond just PowerPoint presentations. In order to teach our children and have them advance in the world and contribute to the future, being connected is essential. The way in which we teach our children changes as our society changes. Our society is shifting to a high tech computer world and it is making this shift at a fast rate. Educators have to go with this shift and start now connecting our kids.

It is happening at this very moment, our society is becoming a global society, a virtual society, if you will. This means our classrooms must now go beyond the walls that define them. Our classrooms are only microcosms of the environment that surrounds them, So it is crucial that our teachers are aware in which direction our future is going. It would be wonderful if all educators watched this video.
