Vicki Davis: Harness Your Student's Digital Smarts

Buenos Noches el Blogeritos!

I have just finished watching another video today. This one was about Vicki Davis, a teacher from a small town in southern Georgia who has taken her classroom to the future ( in a matter of speaking). Although the students probably are not familiar with a big city, they are learning new and ever changing technology in their rural community. As the class has advanced, they have even surpassed their instructor in some ways.

This video was both inspiring and insightful. It shows ( similar to the previous video) that if students are given enough room to be creative and inquisitive they will accomplish great things. I had no idea how to create an avatar, or even start a blog when I was in school, and i graduated from high school 6 years ago! Davis should be very proud of the work she's continuing in her school and this will be something I hope I will get to take part in as an educator.
