Technology in the Education Arena

As part of the training I am giving to teachers in our district, I am pointing out how easy it is to embed a video hosted on TeacherTube into my blog.  You find the video you are interested in, copy the Edublogs embed code located on the right-hand side of the video. Create a post in your blog, select the HTML tab of your post, click the code button and simply paste the code into your HTML page of your post.

This particular video has been around for a while but continues to get my attention. It was created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University. It is — “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.”
