A Principal's Reflections

OCTOBER 3, 2010

On a crisp, sunny Saturday morning in October, approximately 400 passionate educators congregated at New Milford High School for the Tri-State Educational Technology Conference (TSETC).

I was working with a group recently and showing them how to “embed” media from different sites. I told them, “Press buttons until you find it.”

I asked my fellow educators for their favorite episodes, then considered some student-appropriate episodes that my high school classes have really liked and came up with a small but solid list of must-listens. It's a valuable perspective for any educators interested in school reform and closing the achievement gap.

Audiobooks, social media and smartphone newsfeeds are what Americans are doing. While there are still eBooks being consumed, it is dwarfed by the amount of time people of all ages now spend on short-form reading of “throw away” information that is mostly media articles or social. This is grave news to educators.
