The part of the article that I enjoyed the most was "A Dose of Reality" this part of the article talks about how student learn and and that the old, "stand in front of the chalk board and talk for the entire class period," doesn't work! Students need to be engaged and active in today's learning experiences and what better way by using technology! Being able to use the 21st Century skills that can make students successful!

I too like the idea that kids today are now "global citizens." In order for them to learn and function in this ever changing world, it is important that we (as educators) provide them with experiences and opportunities to do so. I think that like the NY study (World Trade) it is very important to teach kids to be critical thinking and form their own views on certain situations. A lot in the world has to do with compromise and in order to do that effectively, background knowledge is needed. This was a good article and eye opener. It stated facts very clearly and I felt it backed it up well too. I enjoyed it! I read through a few of the other blogs and there are MANY good ideas and points made.
