Who are our students today? It is ironic, but our students are our community, parents, teachers and students. Many students are learning the skills to be literate in a media rich world; Many are still illiterate.
It really hit home for me with the Virginia Tech shooting. A sound byte that resonates with me is a fellow student telling his friends, “Change your facebook page to say ‘I am OKAY’.”
Wow, the internet was designed to be able to withstand nuclear war. A catastrophe happens in one city and phone lines(cell and land) are plugged. Students today think beyond traditional communication and communicate in ways I wouldn’t have thought possible 20 years ago.
