I love that these students have a vision! And that the realize they need a change, and are even beginning to come up with solutions on their own. What I take from this video is that we should never discount our students. They are smart, I’d argue that they are smarter than us. They know so much more than we do, and are going to know so much more than we ever have. When it comes to content we may have them beat for now, but these kids are so smart and so resourceful… That is where we need to come in. We need to teach them skills and avenues toward content knowledge. They are going to use skills and resources, and methods way more than they are ever going to use facts.
