    The National Environmental Education Foundation, in partnership with The Weather Channel, has launched Classroom Earth, a program designed to enhance and strengthen environmental education in high school classrooms nationwide. By harnessing the expertise and passion of teachers and students around the country, Classroom Earth will enrich the high school curriculum by encouraging the inclusion of environmental education into all high school subjects - from biology to art - and make it easier for teachers to access best practices online. The primary goal of the program is to increase the environmental literacy of high school students and to provide models for including environmental education in high school classrooms through the Web.

  • Technology continues to profoundly affect the way we work, collaborate, communicate, and succeed.
  • The digital divide, once seen as a factor of wealth, is now seen as a factor of education: those who have the opportunity to learn technology skills are in a better position to obtain and make use of technology than those who do not.

      I like this quote. Once considerd a factor fo wealth is now considered a factor of education. That's a game-changing phrase if you agree with it. Wouldn't you agree?

  • So the challenge is to find ways to create online teacher professional development that seems both compelling in its content and also more convenient, easier to fit into the work life of a teacher than the face-to-face courses.
  • online teacher professional development that includes an asynchronous component helps with that kind of reflection. Plus, the online format provides a layer of distance that helps people feel more willing to share things that are a little bit risky than they might in a face-to-face environment.
  • I think the kinds of professional development that involve people sharing artifacts of their practice and talking about them within a larger conceptual framework are becoming more and more popular with teachers.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The first is that it’s easier to do online professional development at scale than it is with local or purely face-to-face professional development.
  • I think this financial crunch is going to force people to move to some other model—one that probably uses a lot of technology,

    After dismissing the popular notion that scientists are unable to truly appreciate beauty in nature, physicist Richard Feynman (1918 – 1988) explains what a scientist really is and does. Here are some of the most memorable lines from this beautiful mix of Feynman quotes and (mostly) BBC and NASA footage:
