Article about primary school who encouraged students to compete with the best they could be, rather than with each other.

Interesting article from Bill Lucas that sums up the debate over 'intelligence' and provides some practical ideas about how that might impact the classroom

Just ordered the book!

Campfires in Cyberspace: Primordial Metaphors for Learning in the 21st Century

Practical examples of getting the kind of immersion that Ewan was talking about in his article

Getting learners to co-construct as well. Immersion can lead to 'flow' which is total engagement or absorption which is fun and edifying.

I was there & heard these talks. I wanted to talk about #addcym, TeachMeets, Twitter and all the excellent practice that is out there and the means that the professionals are going to to share. Clearly people presenting weren't aware of this which makes #addcym etc crucial to this sharing.

Thanks Vicki. I wasn't there, but saw the ppts etc. Don't think the conclusions are rocket science, it's actually what we advocate already, and I think we should use precious money to fund the actions ( ie teachers sharing/visiting) rather than spending another year researching obvious and common sense solutions. That's IMHO obviously and all my own views!
