Great video to change perceptions of technology in education

I was at a parent information session last week in which a principal shared a video which highlighted how reactive we had been over time to adopt change in the way we teach. 

I found the video very relevant and eye opening as it pointed out some of the staples of teacher and student tools as being perceived as counter productive when they were introduced.

It was great starting point to then discuss how we are taking a similar approach to computer technology in the classroom. 

Anyhow take a look for yourself and feel free to leave a comment below.
