Did You Know?

It is very interesting to see how our world is rapidly changing in the Did You Know?" video on the Fischbowl blog. It was a short movie that was created for a group of teachers in Colorado for the staff of about 150, but it has reached so many more. It is amazing and mind-boggling to see how fast the population, power, economics, technology, and other things in our world have changed and will change over the years. This video makes it very clear that we need to prepare ourselves and our students for a world that will be quickly changing. It shows that computers and technology will be a very big part of this.

I think that this video was a great way to clearly show that our world is changing and progressing with or without us. There are countries (including the U.S.) that have realized what they need to do in order to have success and are preparing their students for what is to come. We as teachers and parents need to make sure that our children and students are taught what is necessary for a successful future in our quickly changing world. I really enjoyed this video and think that all parents and teachers should watch it to remind them of what is to come. There is so much information in this short movie that really makes you think about our future.
