I think his conclusion is quite eloquent as he speaks about our children, our learners: “…this is life in the 21st century (ironically demonstrated by very non-21st century water buffalo cultivation). This is 12 days from problem to solution, and 24 days from problem to Internet-viral-movie-extended solution that may impact hundreds or thousands. Shouldn’t we be teaching kids about this stuff? Can’t we address the curriculum and standards in ways like this? Shouldn’t we be helping prepare them to be really good at using these tools in both their professional and personal lives to impact the world around them? Shouldn’t we be helping prepare our students to change the world?” [...] [...] Thanks to Will Richardson for bringing this to my attention and for Karl Fisch’s moving piece!

I can't wait to show it to my 7th and 8th grade students and talk to them about what they see and the questions it raises. This is the powerful of visual media - to help the haves of the world see the joy and meaning in sharing their talents, energy, and resources to better the lives of others.
