As a follow up to my earlier post in March, here is the updated video on Shift Happens, from Karl Fisch, using all the latest stats.
Update:
I just watched the entire movie now – it’s brilliant! Much better than the original! Also, at the end of the video, there is a message that the author, Karl Fisch, has setup a Shift Happens Wiki. Here is the excerpt from the landing page:
This wiki is designed to give you a little more background on the “Did You Know?” presentation. The wiki also will connect you with some resources to learn more about the shifts that are occurring in our world and their implications for K-12 and higher education.
Because we are educators in the United States, our experiences and perspectives are going to be somewhat America-centric. However, we believe that the themes of Did You Know? are global in nature and apply to schools and children around the world. We want all children to be successful. We do not view the growing importance of India and China as negative but rather as additional opportunities for everyone in the world. We do not mean to gloss over the very real issues that countries such as India and China face, and we recognize that globalization and “flat world” factors have downsides just like other societal shifts. We prefer, however, to focus on the positive benefits and on doing what we can to help children learn and grow so that they may become successful digital, global citizens.
We’d like your help. Everyone must be involved in the conversation if we are to come up with a system of education for our children that prepares them for the 21st century.

Vinny, I had seen this before, but its impact remains the same as the first time I saw it. Thanks for the not always subtle but thoroughly entertaining reminder of globalization.
