Has Anything Changed?

If you want the first 45 seconds of the video below, you'll find something quite interesting.



Sound familiar?

I hear this same talk - albeit decades later - from staff members nearly ever day.

Has anything (other than grainy black and white and the clothing styles) changed at all? If not, why not?

I'd argue that for the most part, many of us still teach like this. If it didn't work terribly well decades ago, why should it work now?

Well, the rest of the video chimes in on that debate.

I especially like what Marc Prensky has to say about this: how school has been bifurcated into sitting through school and then (more than ever with this digital culture) creating and sharing information that is far more meaningful after school. After school wins every time.

How can we change that?
