As I was surfing Youtube I came across this video on Transforming Education in the 21st Century. It sounded interesting and I thought I would give it a try. After about 28 seconds of it I realized that it was totally "product" oriented gearing children to be nothing but workers in a new global economy. Is this really transforming education? No. It is simply taking the chalk and blackboards from years ago and replacing them with new technologies with [ultimately] the same goal of producing people for the workforce then and now.
Just watch the first 28 seconds and you will see.

Yup, you called it Todd. This is an infomercial for computers in the classroom.
Notice the sponsor or the organization that produces the video, that is a dead give away as to their primary purpose for education!
