School 2.0- NETS Awareness

The video I saw was the "You can do Anything" video.  This video is really short, but it is really empowering.  I thought this video was inspirational what children will always need.  In the video there is a little girl showing some pictures and at the end she explains why she is doing so.  She states that she wants to encourage you to do whatever you want to do or something you want to do.  She also says something that is really true, she says that when everyone is connected it means we all believe in each other.  This is something that somethings teachers tend to forget to teach at schools and I think it is essential for children's development.  The standard I would connect this video with would be to "Facilitate and Inspire student learning and creativity".  By engaging them in real world issues and having them reflect and plan will really help students in many ways.  The way of incorporating this in a classroom would be by having real world projects so that students can connect to them.  Also I would  always tell them to believe in themselves and stating that I believe they are capable of accomplishing whatever they wish.
