Welcome Activity Reflection
More video was uploaded to Youtube in the last 2 months than if ABC, NBC, CBS had been airing content 24/7 since 1948. The way kids growing up today experience and consume media has changed. "They no longer search for news, news finds them via social media." This puts innovation at a premium. As the way we consume media and information continues to change, we need to adapt and continue to bring content to students in different ways. We have an obligation to become better learners ourselves so we can bring relatable content to students and make it easier for them to learn.

Really appreciated your relating of the statistics to our students of the future, and how one might use these tools and information to engage kids. It's certainly no easy task and often difficult to grasp how this might be done within the current contraints of the typical classroom. It will be interesting to see how your conversations and experiences play out over the next year while you are in Practicum and Student Teaching.
