– If Facebook were a country, it would be the fourth largest. It just added another 100 million users in a mere nine months. It took radio 38 years to reach 50 million; TV 13 years; the Internet four years and the iPod three years. The Republic of Facebook doesn’t quite cut it for me.

This is actually an amazing video on YouTube, but hard to access from our computers. I want you to try to watch it if you can. The video is called Social Media Revolution (Socialnomics09), and it's amazing! Check out this link for a few of the statistic highlights.

I hope that is the correct URL but I can't access Youtube from school. This is a mind-boggling 5 minute video, created in 2006, by a teacher in Colorado. It shows how the 21st century learner will have to deal with a brand new world in which information, technology and knowledge is changing at an exponential rate and we as teachers will have to be educators to students for jobs that haven't even been considered yet. Karl Fisch mentions that today's learners will have 10-14 jobs before their 38th birthday. By 2010 the the rate of new information is predicted to double every 72 hours. Technology and the internet have completely changed the globe. This all relates to the ideas presented in Chapter 2 of Lynn Schrum's book and "how today 's students and tomorrow's teachers are different from previous generations (pG. 39-40), and how digital technology has become seamlessly entwined throughout their lives."

There is no better online cause than the future of our children. And just imagine how fantastic it would be if there were a resource online we could go to, or send our kids to, that would explain every topic they study in school instantly and reliably. Many of the resources needed for such a site already exist online; they just need to be organized.
