Thanks to Michael Richard who sent a link to the PBS site that hosts the video Digital Media - New Learners of the 21st Century. In the first chapter of Digital Media producers criss-cross the nation to highlight real-life examples of how digital media is exploding in educational environments. This is video can be very eye-opening for those who still picture the classrooms, learning, and students they experienced as children.
There are some days, days like today, where I am so happy I subscribe to some great blogs about educational technology. Today, I read a post from iLearn Technology about a YouTube channel "History for Music Lovers", created by/for history teachers that fuses the tune from popular songs, with words about historical events/people/places, and video to create historical music videos. These are really something and can be a great way to engage students.
