It is interesting that everyone sees this video from a different point of view. I happened to discover it by accident while putting together an inservice onrigor and relevance, and using technology appropriately to teach kids, appealing to their learning styles, as well as to stimulate higher-level projects and questioning. (I find my teachers now requiring the same info in PowerPoints projects that they used to have the students put on posters.) I look at this video as a wake up call to us teachers that we are bypassing our students' strengths, that we are "blocking" their means of communicating when we block blogs and on-line journals. If they enjoy writing in this format, then I think we should be teaching in this format. My county blocks student access to web-based email, yet how are students going to communicate in their work-lives? How many of them have ever written a letter by hand (or will ever need to). Truly...will they ever need to write anything but their signature? Is handwriting not obsolete? I'm 52, and I received my first BS in '77...I attended lecture classes for history and economics, and though I didn't have a laptop, and I was "geeky" enough to actually take notes, very little of what was presented was ever relevant to the exams, or to anything in my life since. Just my two cents!
