Learning does not only come from books. It can come from experience and one's own hard work. Vicki Davis has done a wonderful job of harnessing this concept and applying it to the classroom. She teaches her students to access every available resource they can use and also allows room for them to teach her as well. Something else that is remarkable about her teaching techniques is that adjusts each year to her students and how they learn and uses their individuals interests. She does not expect everyone to all be the same every year and she adjusts to that.
What I really enjoyed about this video is that she uses technologies that allow her students to connect to the world while sitting in their own classroom. This is something I would love to experience in my own school education so I really enjoy seeing it be effective for other students. It allows them to learn form a whole new group of people they would not normally be exposed to. This exposure allows the students to get outside of the bubble of their home and learn more about new cultures which is an experience that cannot be taught merely through a book and lecture.
