March 30 - Media

I watched the TeacherTube video Pay Attention. Here is the link:

This video really had an impact on me. Students are growing up in a different world than I did. I am 28 years old and like to consider myself "current", but in many ways I am not. I have previously thought that the way I learned was the "right" way. It now seems apparent that some of those ways need to be discarded if I truly want to engage students. Technology is here to stay and nothing I do in my classroom is going to change that. If I do not want to be left behind I will have to embrace technology.
