21st Century Learning

Eliezer,

This is a great concept. I love the way you themed and transitioned the pieces. My question is, "What was the purpose of the video?" What message were you trying to send? Did you want to convince people of something? Make it a call to action?  Who was your audience? What kind of discussion do you see coming out from this?

Hey! Great to hear from you. Thanks for the questions. One purpose was to promote the community by having people see it and check us out. The educational purpose, and part of a post I am writing, is that many of the "21st Century" educational ideas are not new. Theses progressive ideas have been around for a while and the only way to be truly progressive is to heed the call and apply the ideas. I also think that the difference between now and when John Dewey talked about educational reform is not the ideas, but the technology. That is the variable that makes a lot of change possible today as well as requiring change. That is the short of it, but when I post my thoughts on it I would love your feedback.
