    I am also a fan of Ken Robinson. I have this video posted on my school website and show it the first day of class every year and ask my students to show it to their parents. We have a really good discussion after this video.

Ted Talk by Alan November - 8 views

  • Alan November is recognized internationally as a leader in education technology. He began his career as an oceanography teacher and dorm counselor at an island reform school for boys in Boston Harbor. He has been a director of an alternative high school, computer coordinator, technology consultant, and university lecturer. As practitioner, designer, and author, Alan has guided schools, government organizations and industry leaders as they plan to improve quality with technology
  • Thisþff is a brilliant speech. We need our students to have purpose, they really need to be exposed to content but they really need to control the purpose. Technology can help us with this really bright idea.
  • As teachers for tomorrow we agree that students must have the opportunity to create a legacy through their work.þff Students are not learning for us they are learning and creating information for the world. Empowered to develop and create relevant work can only happen when teachers open their minds to what education is. Authentic learning gives student ownership and the ability to create knowledge and instill a lasting desire to learn.

  • Finally we have an educator that discusses ways to solve a problem rather than definingþff a problem. Thank you for your practical ideas and strategies to improve education.

      Do we educate our students this way? Do you educate your students this way? How can this help our students become better PROBLEM SOLVERS?

      I agree Maria.I was thinking about how this video works with rule 4 "We don't pay attention to boring things." Having the students vested in the learning activity takes out all the boring stuff. Giving the students a reason to care about the learning helps both the student and the teacher. :)
