Thanks to Dr. Alec Couros for the link to “Generation We: The Movement Begins…”

There are some sobering statistics listed and the video is well worth taking the time to watch. One point I disagree with is that Generation We is technologically brilliant. While they are frequent users, producers, and consumers of technology, most people, including GenWe, are not very adept. They learn something cool that meets their needs, they share it and it spreads, but rarely to individuals (myself included) do something revolutionary and brilliant with those technology tools. As teachers, we need to help our students move up the critical thinking food chain so that they can tap the potential of the current wave of technology innovation.
