If you search 21st century skills on YouTube, more than 1700 videos come up. There is a mind boggling wealth and variety of resources on this topic on sites like YouTube or Slideshare.
So why make another video or another set of slides on how pupils are changing faster than teachers can keep up? Well, I wanted to make it personal: this is a video that I made to show my colleagues at work. I hoped that the fact that I made the video would make them realise that this concept doesn’t only live in YouTube or Slideshare and that this is a concept worth examining and reflecting upon.
In it, I explore my own understanding of what it means to teach and learn today and I invite those who watch it to share their thoughts and opinions.

José – You are a true example of a 21st Century Educator: passionate, reflective, adaptive, self- aware, imaginative, and transparent. I love this video, and can not wait to share it!
It is time to start listening, and hear what our students are saying to us in loud and clear ways! You remind us that it is about who we teach not what we teach! Bravo!
Please submit this to the Active Learning Blog Carnival, a monthly international journal that I edit http://activelearningcarnival.blogspot.com/ I think you have done a wonderful job of sharing an important message.
José, congrats on your video. It is very creative, clear and effective.

Great inspiring video Jose, muchas gracias!
Great video, Jose. I think that you’re making your point very accessible to teachers who don’t currently “get it”. I’ve already referenced your work twice but I might have to mention you for a third time now };8)
Thank you all for such positive feedback. I showed this video today to the members of our Teaching and Learning Committee at school, which was why I produced it, and it was very well received. I think it did succeed in getting us talking about the chasm that exists between what we teachers can/are willing to offer to our pupils and what our pupils expect from us.
Although I was expecting some resistance to the ideas in the video, I have to say I encountered none, which was fantastic, if not a little surprising
Perhaps there is hope after all!
Anyway, thank you all for your kind words and support.
Hi José – escellent video! You make a good case for teachers listening to and learning from their students. It will be interesting to see if any of your colleagues change their practice/approach or try something new after seeing your video.
Best wishes
Paul
José – I like your opening (title), “I teach therefore you learn….” It’s thought-provoking enough you could have stopped there, though I’m glad you didn’t. Kudos for you in your bravery using the piece to start discussion at your school.
Wow, What great video. That gives me such a good idea. We show some sort of “shift happens” at the beginning of every school year. We should make our own and maybe that would be the wake up call my teachers need. Thanks for the idea!
Its great I’ll share with my friends and parents
Thank you for this nice presentation. Although we know it, it is to be said again and again. Your presentation will help as it compact, very clearly stated and attractive.
Thanks again.

Me encanta! esta genial
Gracias por compartirlo, Jose
Thanks for this film. I am going to show it to my friend teachers. Will we start learning from them?

Hi – love the video. Would recommend you read a book by John Holt, called “Why children fail” – it’s brilliant, and I keep re-reading it to remind myself of the mistakes I make….
“We don’t have to teach kids to be smart. They are born smart. We just have to stop teaching them to be stupid”
(the book was written in the 1960s….. re-reading it now is a little depressing – not much has changed!!)
Parabéns, José, pelo video tocante que nos leva a ficar algo embaraçados… será que estou a ensinar bem?
Obrigada pela eficácia da transmissão da mensagem pretendida.
Questionamo-nos… “ensinar” e “aprender”, é isto mesmo!
