Web Tools and Teaching

I found this video posted on the facebook page of the "Librarians and Web 2.0" group. I thought it was interesting and worth sharing further. I have mixed feelings about teaching students only how to do things that are interesting or fun or comfortable. However, I also have issues with doing ONLY things that they find boring or hard or difficult. As a school librarian and teacher, I find that I have to work to find an appropriate balance to make work interesting and challenging without making it only fun or too difficult.

Thank you for posting that video! I don't think I would have stumbled across it on my own (even though I've joined the same groups as you have!)

It certainly is an eye opener as to the ways we need to teach children today.
