Vicki Davis: Harness Your Student's Digital Smarts

This is a great video for new teachers to see and learn how other teachers are engaging and empowering their students in new innovative ways. With technology used as it was originally meant, as a tool, students are collaborating with others from other nations, they are teaching their teacher as they learn themselves, and they are building social networks that will increase their global thinking.

This teacher spoke to how she designs her class to be customized for the group of students she is teaching. Customizing a technology class is a great thing to be able to do so that the really advanced students do not get bored and the average student has the chance to learn and grow as well. The class seemed so excited about everything they were doing.
