oh, Connie, I am being taught constantly by kids!
I feel it's great!
I think that only when you can receive you are truly able to deliver.

Thank you, Or-Tal, for sharing this thought-provoking video. Makes me feel the urgency of the job ahead: getting teachers engaged in using technology in their classes. For teachers to become fully engaged, there's a mindswitch that only some seem to be able to do: let the students be teachers. Let them teach the teachers.
(Or we can just wait for a new batch of young teachers to lead the way.) Personally, I'm comfortable with being taught, constantly, by children. It works for me. Wish more teachers were open to this. "And the children shall lead..."
