How do we raise critical thinkers to best face the challenges that face our modern society? What changes in education methods should be implemented to create a better learning environment for these budding minds?

Snakes are tricky creatures, both to photograph and to handle. Their long, thin bodies and surface-hugging habits create challenges for photographers, and their nervous natures don’t permit easy interaction, especially for those of us carrying cameras.

One of the most basic and powerful ways to increase student motivation to write and communicate is to change student perceptions of audience.

Instead of asking students to write exclusively for an audience of one (the teacher) using technology from the mid 1500s (a pencil,) teachers can now challenge students to publish for a global listening audience via a classroom podcast. This article provides an overview of the benefits of classroom podcasting and showcases several exemplary classroom podcasts teachers and students can use as models when creating their own.

In an era dominated by constant information and the desire to be social, should the tone of thinking for students be different?
