Digital Dossier...

This clip is a reminder about how things have changed in the digital age.  Useful as background for teachers to have conversations with students around digital citizenship and their unavoidable digital footprint -  or maybe to use with students if you think it is appropriate.

Do you agree?  Any implications if we accept these ideas?

The future curriclulum may only have 3 things.....
