An Experience with Multimedia

This was a pretty interesting night... As I was reading Warlick's Redefining Literacy 2.0, I was stuck on a quote: "For the first time in history, we are preparing our students for a future we cannot clearly describe." I decided to post it to my Facebook page and minutes later I had responses from people pondering it. I'm guessing it still has room to take shape; the conversation is just getting started. I'm hoping some of my students will jump in and offer their insights.

I see that my response was cut off... so here is the final post shown in this image - which if you click on it, it will open up in another window (larger).

The youth have changed, but the schools have not. ... And Darci - You are right on Johnson I've read a lot of his material and have seen some of his Webinars - I would love to hear him in person!"
