Why do these technologies matterThis is a featured page

"A short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. "

Created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University (4'44'')




Information Revolution
"This video explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information." (5'29'')




"Did you Know 2.0?" (8'29'')
"An official update to the original "Shift Happens" video from Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod, this June 2007 update includes new and updated statistics, thought-provoking questions and a fresh design." (http://shifthappens.wikispaces.com -- Content by Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod, design and development by XPLANE.)





"Pay Attention" (7'41'')
"Since most of today's students can appropriately be labeled as "Digital Learners", why do so many teachers refuse to enter the digital age with their teaching practices?

Good question, Stella. My mantra while taking the MDE program was always "education first, technology second." To understand which technologies to use in nurturing a learning environment, we need to understand who the users of those technologies are---and then decide which technology fits best to their needs. These videos are excellent portrayals of who our audience today is. I particularly liked the student finding "When I graduate, I will probably have a job that doesn't exist today."
Thanks for sharing, Stella!
