“Teach to think” is the message conveyed in the video, “A Vision of K-12 Students Today.” One of the most striking pieces of information presented is the fact that China will be the largest English speaking country by 2016. That’s remarkable considering that English isn’t even their national language. It further exemplifies the fact that the world is growing more and more competitive each day. We must stay current with new trends and technology, and teach this to our students. Students are constantly interacting with digital media such as mp3 players, blogs, texting, internet, tablets, and more. Not only does it make sense to utilize this technology in the classroom, (which will help to engage students), we need to teach students how to use this technology responsibly. If the average graduate today has 5-15 careers that means that they have a tremendous amount of information to learn.
