Response to "Engage or Enrage Me"

To begin, this article did not go in the direction that I had expected: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m1EFMoRFvY

I certainly find the main argument of this article to be a valid and important one.  Students have always been changing, and it has always been the responsibility of schools to try to keep up, if not get ahead.  However, it now seems evident that schools have fallen ages behind the very students they are meant to educate.

This issue is one that I find particularly startling, as it seems to necessitate curriculum and technology that may have very well not been invented or conceived yet.  Curriculum that accurately and effectively engages students in their current mode or learning seems to be largely unknown.  Be this as it may, it is now every teacher's job to do everything in their power to make their material engaging and interesting on the students' terms - not curriculum and practice of days past.
