Meet your Mobile Phone 2020
From Julie's Blog today, I found these videos from the horizon project:
Atif from the ISD school in Bangladesh has done a great job with his mobile phone video. Wow!
Or how about Ginger from the Shanghai School in China.
I am going to enjoy watching all of the videos this summer. I am learning so much and am excited about the quality of these videos and what I am learning from them.
David Warlick may not know this, but an e-mail that I received during February/March from him directly impacted this project. He said:
These projects are transforming the discussions taking place at our schools. Students are getting involved in their future! It is empowering and exciting.
I think it is important to involve students in the process of envisioning the future. The most exciting thing is to see how much work and effort was put into these videos with many students finding friends to act and filming at many different locations! They give me chills! WOW!
I encourage you to visit their youtube videos and comment and view them. And to embed them on your blog, click on the video to go to the youtube site and copy the embed code and paste it into your blog. Publish and voila -- you have youtube in your blog!

"Off and on, over the past many months, the thought has emerged that there has to be a way of utilizing this read/write web to affect the changes we are looking for in education leadership. But I've drawn a blank. I'm not young enough. But it occurred to me this morning that we get the students to do it for us."David, thank you for your continuing leadership. You could not have known that Julie and I were in the midst of planning horizon and that your thoughts about encouraging students to envision the future would impact this. We now have more than 50 videos from students envisioning the future and it is not one that I nor perhaps even the best minds in education would envision.
