Students are split up into groups and explore one specific stage. They find their information from books, the internet, and YouTube videos! Then groups then share their findings!

    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?
