I liked that the first video talked about not teaching digital literacy as a stand alone topic/lesson. I think for this generation of students, it's important that they understand and can see the relevance in the topic. I don't think students want to be lectured on how to use technology appropriately or how to effectively utilize the technology that we even give them to use, but to authentically have it put into teaching. As an elementary teacher, I try to implement digital projects into my teaching so that students can authentically interact with technology and we can have conversations about using digital literacy appropriately and how it can help us.
The entire concept of the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" was extremely interesting for me to learn about in this video. However, after watching the video it makes total sense. The concept that technology is essentially developing faster than we can even catch up to and that anyone has the ability to develop new products and services cheaply and quickly. In order to maintain with this society, as teachers we have to keep up with current technology and also learn how to embrace and integrate it into our teaching and learning so that our students are best prepared for college and career ready in this new Industrial Revolution.
