Last night I was watching Dana Carvey (of SNL and Wayne’s World fame) do a stand-up routine on HBO Comedy. He was speaking about being a parent, but he actually addressed 21st Century Learners. He was explaining how his son is taking this “higher level math” and how he can’t even help him with his homework. I thought this was too much of a coincidence. His story went something like this: “A train leaves the station at 1:00 p.m. travelling 40 miles per hour. A second train leaves the station at 2:00 p.m. travelling 60 miles per hour. What is the conductors shoe size?” “At this point my son says dad, why do I have to figure this out? Can’t I just google it?” I thought this little story related to what we learned in class about the 21st Century Learners. If you are interested here is a link to his routine off of the HBO Comedy webpage. I don’t know what part of his act it contains since I didn’t view it myself. I’m still using a dial-up connection at home, and I can’t wait for it to download. Anyway here is the link if you’re interested:
