A vision of students today

As I have gone through this summer, and this search for information regarding technology's affect on academics and critical thinking, I have started heading to the conclusion that educators need to use technology in much more creative ways than they are in order to assist their students in their own use of resources, like the internet.

I found one teacher who does just that. Professor Wesch, of Kansas State University, uses technology to help teach, and his class put together a video which stated quite clearly why he must do so. The following pictures are from a youtube video (4:44) that was put together by his class (all 200 of them) from information they collected and surveys they conducted amongst themselves.




























The video can also be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGCJ46vyR9o&feature=related
