Start a discussion with 21st Century Learning

I like this one because not only is it created by an educator, it is short, to the point, without being accusing. It had an encouraging feel to it which I appreciated.

This video was short, eye catching, and approached the issue from a "let's collaborate" point rather than a "shame on you for not using technology" point.

I enjoyed this video from the opening. It was engaging, provided new statistics, included research done by students and for students. I liked the style of the video.

This one is much like the video above it at #3, but with K-12 students. It was effective, but included much of the same information we're already aware of in regards to the topic (students spend over 20 hours a week on the computer, only half the population graduates, etc.)

This one is worth a watch but it didn't engage me or get me thinking. I favor videos made by students and teachers and tend to tune out "experts" who may or may not have seen a classroom...

Again, same theme-"we need to teach with more technology, teachers need to engage students more!" This presented to me less of encouragement or collaboration and I felt as though I was being talked down to.

Yes, I did say that I preferred student centered videos but the other two (A Vision of Students and A Vision of Students K-12) do it better, in my opinion.

I felt like I was watching a Powerpoint presentation. If you're going to present a video on 21st Century Literacy, it doesn't need the technology of a former decade.

This is at the bottom of the list because it is a) too long, b) not engaging and c) the people they spoke too didn't seem to know much about solving the issue, only that there is an issue on 21st Century learning.
