This short video, Did You Know, speaks volumes to me as an educator. All teachers need to watch this and be aware of the competition our children will face as adults. Our main focus should be preparing them for this rapidly changing world-- this means teaching them with technology. I found this video on YouTube and the following is the citation:

This video is very insightful! I was very surprised at most of the information. Some of it even scared me a little. Computers with capabilities that will exceed the human brain....and the human race? That is crazy. This video definitely emphasizes the importance of integrating more technology into the classrooms so that students are more prepared.
Thank you ,Bonnie, for posting this. When I watch it, I am reminded of how important teachers are.
That video really shows how important technology is going to be in our future. I feel as though it is already capable of so much, that sometimes it scares me to think about what computers will be able to do in the future. On the other hand though, the beginning of the presentation really speaks volumes about the growing populations of China and India in comparison to the U.S and how important our job is as educators. It was great also that the presentation was made by high school students and that it was able to get conversation going.
The first time I saw this video was in a web 2.0 online class that I took. It definitely is worth watching again. I went to the shift happens wiki to get more info and think this would be a great video to show and ask the suggested questions in a faculty meeting. The question that stood out the most (to me) on the web site was to ask teachers after viewing was, "Is it possible for a teacher to be an excellent teacher if he/she does not use technology?"
