I’m posting a hotlinked remix of a message about it that I’ve just sent to a mailing list:

Bloggers Alec Couros (Open Thinking and Digital Pedagogy, Dalton Sherman…) and Kevin Jarrett (Welcome to NCS-Tech, Every… [e]ducator… [m]ust… [w]atch…), among others, highly recommend watching the following video. So do I. I’ve watched it once, and listened to it twice.

It’s of a keynote address to a back-to-school convocation for teachers in the Dallas Independent School District (Dallas ISD). Video recordings of the speech by Dalton Sherman, a fifth grade pupil, are available from both the school district and YouTube:

The text of his speech is available from the Dallas Morning News (2008.08.25).
