Response to Vicki Davis: Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts

A couple things struck me about this video! Vicki Davis is a very effective teacher. She is so open-minded and knowledgeable about the things that are happening around the world by using technology. Although she isn't young enough to have grown up with computers, you wouldn't have known it by the way she acts. She is a very good teacher and you can tell the students learn a lot. She adapts what she teaches to whats going on in the world or what new technology has come out. My computer teacher in high school made us stick to learning word processing from a book the whole year and it was every one's least favorite class. These kids are learning how to learn and they are enjoying it! She is thinking about the future and where the jobs will be and equipping the kids for them. She doesn't stick to a manual that has been around for years, she evolves with technology.
