The Story of Stuff has an excel lent video
(free on YouTube it is a huge h it) , a
great book, and growing educational
resources. A fantastic discussion starter.
Teachers Pet has bri l l iantly designed
resources to add sparkle and pol ish to
standard curriculum classes. They are
growing quickly and being free means they
are attracting a lot of down loads.
TES is a wonderful col lection of very diverse
resources for the classroom and ongoing
professional development. The Times Educational
Supplement in the UK has put a lot of money to
good use in providing and maintaining this megal ith.
The RSA (Royal Society for the
encouragement of Arts, Manufactures &Commerce) has always provided cutting edge
exhibits, talks, & foresight into society. It
has embraced & started leading in 2.0
multimedia expression & storytel l ing.

Inspiringresponsibility?
THE JURY IS IN. SHELLEYWRIGHT .WORDPRESS .COMPosted on Dec 01, 2010 (Check out the wholearticle).I am absolutely sold on the powerof student-centered learning &moving myself off center stage. Ihave received comments from otherteachers who have heard from mystudents how much theyvelearned, & how excited they are tobe doing it this way.
This is not something I expectedwhen we first started this. I had noidea what the outcomes of thiswould be, or that it would be sorewarding. For the first time, oneof my students has a class she
feels she can do. & I feelincredibly honoured that its mine.This makes all the uncertainty &missteps worth it.
Think I should make a list ofhow I can allow students to beeven more responsible for theirlearning...

Are You Too Old School?
There is so much diversity
across the education system
that you can always find
examples of bad practice
that is hurting young
peoples chance of getting
any education which will
prepare them for success in
the modern world. To
prepare students for their
futures, teachers need toSTOP the destruction caused
by:
Leading Lessons trying to
guide students to think in
certain ways, memorise
particular useless facts, &
emulate methods which have
gone by the way side along
time ago destroys their
innovative minds.---------------------------
Exams no where in life is
reward given for being able
to remember things you have
memorised - apart from game
shows & the current
requirements for teachers.
---------------------------
Measuring Everything - as
schools focus on doing the
wrong things with
increasing efficiency they
propagate the problems of
eating up teachers time &
focus with demands to
assess & measure redundant
information & skills.
---------------------------
Rote Learning by schools
only challenging the
capacity of students to
memorise out of date
information & processes we
condemn them to first
unlearning before learning
the skills to be successful
in the current times.
---------------------------

Stun your Students!!!
1. How might YOU use this in YOUR FUTURE?Let students build the connection between what they arelearning and how the skill or info might be useful to them now
and in the future. This is the basis of self sustaining motivation.

2. How might others use this in their life?Allow students to discover and ponder what makes the world goaround. By challenging and supporting them to think outside
their normal boxes they will gain more options in life, anappreciation of what others do, and see the application of whatthey are being asked to learn.
