"The YouTube video below won't be viewable at school, but is worth watching at home." How wrong is it that an educational video won't make it through the filter... is Youtube 'bad' or value free?

The material below is the required watching (what a cool concept, eh) for our class meeting on Oct. 16. That material can be watched at any time, but if nothing else you can use the time we would have been in class to complete the materials below.

I think this group of future teachers really understood my point that education is changing and our teaching needs to change too!

Ideas I'm thinking of sharing on SEEDLINGS Oct. 30th.

* In spending so much time to create (shallow?) connections with such a wide range of educators on a global level, isn't it possible that one might also neglect local relationships that are equally (if not more) important? * What can we do to consistently maintain a healthy perspective? Shifting gears to a higher plane: * Do we really think that all teachers need to be this connected? * Can every teacher (human being) handle all of the information? Are they "bad teachers" if they can't? * And what about those teachers that take 25 minutes just to create a Gmail account (PEBKAC)? Will it really be worth my time - and theirs - to help them enter the 21st Century? Or are the benefits of such efforts simply not worth the costs? I guess what I'm really wondering is this: * Is it ever OK to simply leave some teachers behind?
