Found this September, 2009 copy of Shift Happens over at hey jude.
Last Thursday the school board members and I had a chance for a discussion with sixteen high school students and an earlier version emerged as one of the topics of conversion. Some of the students shared their concern that when it was shown in classrooms they didn’t like the tone, what they perceived as a scare video, and a competition with India and China. The conversation demonstrated the need for the video, if used with students, to be introduced as a tool for understanding the scope and fast paced changes taking place in the world today. It provides for a nice opportunity for conversation about why the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of our Classroom 10 focus are so critical for future success.
