I read Marc Prensky's article for my other class. I like the way he contrasts the two groups, especially within the frame work of the immigrants trying to educate the natives. He does a nice job describing how the two generations view each other, of course supporting the theory of why educators must change.

This is from the Bill Gate's backed Khan Academy and houses lots of audio and visual videos on differing topics from math to the humanities. It's worth perusing!

We love Khan Academy but are working on ways to use the videos to add depth to instruction not just replace the sage on the stage with another digital sage.

My thought was to have the students embed the videos into glogs or other presentations they create.

This article really highlights some of the fight that is out there, and some of the problems that surround the idea of creating the 21st century classroom.
