About five years ago, a video called Shift Happens was making its way around all of the educational conferences and education blogs, and for good reason... it made the point that the world is changing quite well.
The trend has continued and variations find their way on to YouTube on a regular basis. One of my current favorites focuses on social media. It is becoming increasingly clear that we educators are ignoring the realities of this phenomenon. We might block access to these sites from machines attached to our networks (although I think our reasoning is flawed and not supported by evidence), but students come into our schools with phones that are connected via networks we do not control.
