Every once in awhile I will share a video with you when I believe the video speaks to changes in education at our local level and a national or global level. This is one of those videos. The speaker has developed technology where an ordinary light bulb can transmit data (think wireless). The implications for education are enormous. The availability of information will only become easier and the methods in which we connect with students will only expand in the future with technology such as this. School systems must take advantages of these new methods of delivery and the new ease in which information will be shared. I mention the word "repurposing" a lot when I discuss education. Using that word is my attempt to shift the narrative of education away from what we "do" currently and what we "know" currently. Education must help students become critical "engagers" in their communities and our society. The future will demand these skills and our school system has the moral obligation to prepare students for that task.
