Karl Fisch, a technology teacher at the Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado and starting a year ago he created three videos about the past, present and future of education and technology. They have become some of the most viewed videos on the Internet. He reminds us of where we have been and where we may go. If you have not seen these videos they are only about 3 minutes each, so take a look and let me know what you think.

The first video is “What if?” It reminds us that maybe things have not changed after all.
What if?

The next video is Fisch’s most famous, “Did You Know”. He gives us a look at the state of technology and education today.

Did You Know?

The last video is called “2020 Vision”. In it Karl Fisch takes a look at what the world may be for students graduating from high school in 2020.
