Karl Fisch
Karl Fisch is a teacher and holds the position of Director of Technology at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado in the USA. Karl put together a Powerpoint Presentation for the faculty at the school called "Did You Know" to provoke some discussion on the needs of youth and education in the 21st Century. In Karl's own words;
"To get them to really think about what our students are going to need to be successful in the 21st century, and then how that might impact what they do in their classrooms."
The presentation "took off" during 2007 with over 5 million views. However, despite this success Karl is only focussed on the outcomes for the next generation of students and how as educators we can help the youth of today realise their goals and heart's desires.
Karl seems very humble regarding his impact. We need more people like him who are here to serve others only and genuinely interested in helping others to be more.
Here is the blog post that features the original "Did You Know" presentation. The You Tube video below shows the current version that has been produced by "XPLANE."
