Frontline Video: Growing Up Online- due Feb 7th

I stumbled across this great TV show highlighting how kids are growing up ONLINE. I thought part of the program was effective at highlighting some of the challenges teachers have with how different kids are in this new digital age. Please click on the link and watch the ONE section, "A Revolution in Classrooms and Social Life" and share with the class your thoughts. Please focus your answers on the following prompts: "How are YOU as a teacher going to deal with the fact that kids are different these days and even at a very young age are used to being online? Do you think teachers have a responsibility to add technologies to support learning in the classroom? Do teachers have an obligation to help students understand appropriate uses of the Internet?"
