José - You are a true example of a 21st Century Educator: passionate, reflective, adaptive, self- aware, imaginative, and transparent. I love this video, and can not wait to share it!

It is time to start listening, and hear what our students are saying to us in loud and clear ways! You remind us that it is about who we teach not what we teach! Bravo!

Please submit this to the Active Learning Blog Carnival, a monthly international journal that I edit http://activelearningcarnival.blogspot.com/ I think you have done a wonderful job of sharing an important message.

Great video, Jose. I think that you're making your point very accessible to teachers who don't currently "get it". I've already referenced your work twice but I might have to mention you for a third time now };8)

Thank you all for such positive feedback. I showed this video today to the members of our Teaching and Learning Committee at school, which was why I produced it, and it was very well received. I think it did succeed in getting us talking about the chasm that exists between what we teachers can/are willing to offer to our pupils and what our pupils expect from us.

Although I was expecting some resistance to the ideas in the video, I have to say I encountered none, which was fantastic, if not a little surprising ;) Perhaps there is hope after all!

Anyway, thank you all for your kind words and support.

Hi José - escellent video! You make a good case for teachers listening to and learning from their students. It will be interesting to see if any of your colleagues change their practice/approach or try something new after seeing your video.

Best wishes
Paul

José - I like your opening (title), "I teach therefore you learn...." It's thought-provoking enough you could have stopped there, though I'm glad you didn't. Kudos for you in your bravery using the piece to start discussion at your school.

Wow, What great video. That gives me such a good idea. We show some sort of "shift happens" at the beginning of every school year. We should make our own and maybe that would be the wake up call my teachers need. Thanks for the idea!

Thank you for this nice presentation. Although we know it, it is to be said again and again. Your presentation will help as it compact, very clearly stated and attractive.
Thanks again.

Thanks for this film. I am going to show it to my friend teachers. Will we start learning from them?
