It's About Learning

I have been adding to my list of youtube favorites for several years (notice the date of some of videos) and have finally decided to move these favorites to a blog post. All these videos deal with education, learning, 21st Century learning, digital learner and so on. The first few videos are my favorates and will be displayed in an embedded youtube format and the remaining are included just as links. Enjoy!
