This video is also available on Vimeo, YouTube and Podomatic. You can subscribe to this series of video podcasts in iTunes.
If you search 21st century skills on YouTube, more than 1700 videos come up. There is a mind boggling wealth and variety of resources on this topic on sites like YouTube or Slideshare.
So why make another video or another set of slides on how pupils are changing faster than teachers can keep up? Well, I wanted to make it personal: this is a video that I made to show my colleagues at work. I hoped that the fact that I made the video would make them realise that this concept doesn’t only live in YouTube or Slideshare and that this is a concept worth examining and reflecting upon.
In it, I explore my own understanding of what it means to teach and learn today and I invite those who watch it to share their thoughts and opinions.

As educators I'm sure we are all aware of the value in knowing how our students learn best, the ways in which they communicate, how they live their lives and would want to use this to inform our teaching. The challenge for us is to keep up and to harness the capabilities of technology to provide our pupils with opportunities to use their mobiles (they'll be using them anyway!), their ipods and their laptops etc. to enhance their learning.
It means a huge mind-shift for some and a lot of CPD for many of us (me included!) - but surely the end result would be worth the investment?
Joe Dale, Lisa Stevens, Jo Rhys-Jones and many others have blazed a trail for the creative use of ICT in language teaching. I'm some way behind but determined to follow that lead!
