Loved this video Sarah...esp since it started out with Google Maps locating Saskatoon, Sask, Canada! Saskatoon is about 2 1/2 hours north from my hometown of Regina, Sask. (I might be a bit intimidated by the student in the video though...holy cow!! ..."That's your job" !!!!)
Thanks Sharon, I thought that it was a great video too, and I liked the kids eyes and faces he made! haha I didn't even know he was pointing to a place in Canada, good job picking up on that !
Are we prepared to teach the "Digital Natives"? This is such a cute video I couldn't help but share. The young boy asks a very important question- are we preparing our students to enter the digital world?
How can we try to accomodate students who have expectations like this, or grow up using technology at home? Interesting Digital Native Youtube video from VALA.
Good find, Sharon. I think this really adds to the metaphor that digital natives are "native speakers" of technology. Much like native speakers of a language can use complex grammar without thinking about it or knowing the labels that linguists place on it, digital natives are easily using complex technology oblivious to all the research the "digital immigrants" are doing to try to understand it.

A list of copyright rules, as they apply to educators. i could not view the videos, but i found the "copyright guidelines for teachers" PDF to be very helpful
