Shirley Buxton aptly named this post, Tech-savvy kids turn the tables and teach the teachers!

As for the teacher, Megan said, “We showed her how to upload the video from the camera, cut clips and add titles to the bottom of the slides. Next year, we’re going to do a Web page for her and link it to our movie.” –Shirley Buxton, Wednesday, April 26, 2006

How can we teach kids to communicate clearly and with elegance, if they’re busy teaching us how to work the technology they’re using to communicate with?

There’s only so much time in the school day . . . It would be much more productive and fun to play with the technology together, finding ways to make and contribute quality content to the world.
