The creator of this video — Frank Romanelli — shared his work in an online inquiry group I am part of. It’s a fantastic and intriguing video — from content to presentation. Notice how the theme is the ever-increasing importance of teachers even as literacy is undergoing change. The power of writing — in whatever form — still remains a powerful force of expression and understanding.
Peace (in the literacy),

I spent yesterdy thinking and talking with my university teaching friends about preparing teachers for the 21st Century. Your post pretty much sums up our need to make our teaching (and our assessments) more in line with what we know about literacy learning and about the changing needs of our society. I reposted this for the few people who read my blog but who do not yet link up with yours. Thank you VERY much for sharing.
