Harness your students' digital smarts

In this video the teacher Vicki Davis talks about the importance of educating students in the constantly expanding world of technology. She has taken her class in rural Georgia and connected them with the world. Technology is growing more and more every day and new jobs that have never existed are popping up around the world. Having students that are able to comprehend and function today's technologies will give them an edge at learning the technologies of tomorrow.
The students in this class also work on blogs like our class. Every semester of school there are children who did not learn one new thing about technology and yet the face of technology has morphed several times during the same period of time. Technology is stretching its' wires and cables into practically every field and market. I agree with Vicki Davis in that one of the main focuses of education in today's world should be on technology.
