Meet Karl Fisch, an innovator in education around the field of constructivism and use of technology to foster student-cetered classrooms.
In August 2005 his Arapahoe High School in Colorado received funding for a proposal that was innovative, forward-looking, included a technology component, and not “education as usual.” The result took the education world by storm, and become a viral video on youtube. Later, others made “remixes” from his original work, until Sony BMG Entertainment asked permission to make the version below. This was shown in a meeting with 150 top BMG executives to illustrate the demand for change by consumers living in “exponential times”. I think the lessons still carry much deeper and wider than just to Sony BMG Entertainment — but man, they know how to spice up a video.
