The first part of this quote was explaining the trouble educators are facing these days. The thought that in today's world of social media, viral fads, and most importantly real-time, relevant information for today's learners is still being stifled is troubling.On the bright side we are aware of what is out there but that is still not enough...I think that its on the plate of the administration to accept the notion that all content isn't bad content and teachers should be able to use anything that is seen as appropriate(and legal) information that students need to enhance learning.

I'm glad you see the need for teachers to use a variety of resources both electronic and print in order to teach effectively in the 21st century! I agree there is also a need for school administrators to become more media literate!
