Did You Know: Shift Happens
http://teachertube.com/members/viewVideo.php?video_id=118&title=Did_You_Know__by_Karl_Fisch
Disclaimer:
"Because we are educators in the United states, our experiences and prospectives are going to be somewhat America-centric. However, we believe that the themes of Did You Know? are global in nature and apply to schools and children around the world. We want all children to be successful. We do not view the growing importance of India and China as negative but as additional opportunites for everyone in the world. We do not mean to gloss over the very real issue that counties like India and China face, and recognize that globalization and "flat world" factors have downsides just like other societal shifts. We prefer, however, to focus on the positive benefits and on doing what we can to help children learn and grow so they may become sucessful digital, global citizens." Karl Fisch
