Eclectic Technology

What is an active learner? This video provides one look at what a learner might look like today. In additon to the video there is also a SlideShare that would allow you to show the "video" at a pace that allows discussion, and a number of visual images that also explore the active learner. The visuals include Engaging an Active Learner that shares ways students learn (and do not learn), Open Your Laptop to Page 3, Learning Goes Digital: Electronic Education Moves to Head of the Class and many others.

These materials were created by an Agency working for Blackboard (a content management system). Using either the video or a number of the visuals would provide a opportunity for teachers, parents, or other small groups to discuss why education is undergoing a seismic change in many areas.
