Another version of the highly shared "Did You Know?" video has been recently published. It's written to be used in Iowa, but as I watched it, I found that other states could be substituted with the same effect. The video is 7.5 minutes in length. A facilitator's guide and other resource materials are available on Scott McLeod's Big Think Blog.
The video is aimed at Iowa policymakers, citizens, and educators and is intended to help them feel a greater sense of urgency when it comes to changing our schools. Right now there’s a fair amount of complacency; the average Iowan isn’t
coming to his or her school board or politician saying, “Hey, why aren’t you preparing my kids for this digital, global world we now live in?!”
Take a look at the video and see what you think. Even if you don’t live in Iowa, I think you’ll find it quite pertinent to your educational context too.
I live in Michigan, and it's pertinent to Michiganians for sure!
