Great video and unique point of view. I think instead of updating the technology in educational tools, 21 century education should focus more on teaching technology, or moreover, developing students creation, innovation and motivation.

The idea is certainly to create more awareness of the ethics in the use of technology. Very interesting.

Thanks, Thomas, for the kind feedback!

We are certainly planning on producing more videos on the actual application of technology in classrooms, as well as showing that relevance to real-life outcomes.
