The role of the teacher is slowly but surely changing and with this come new challenges. Change becomes inevitable and processes for managing this and capitalising on the opportunities it brings becomes paramount within organisations. It is perhaps not surprising that educational institutions may evolve to become what are termed 'Learning Organisations' or 'Professional Learning Communities' within which there is a focus on the application of the principles of learning to manage change and explore new opportunities.

This site is designed especially with the young learner in mind with its age-appropriate content and emphasis on visual and auditory learning. Glossopedia is the kind of site that you can leave open for students to explore and find a fast fact of the day, find their favorite image, or video Glossopedia Categories Geography and Places Nature and the Environment Technology Animals Earth and Space People and Cultures Human Body Chemistry Natural Forces This site is simple and visually pleasing. The font size is great for young learners. Words are hyperlinked to an audio pronunciation that is a real person, speaking really slowly at first then more quickly, and finally the written meaning of the word. Images and photos have a print button prominently displayed.

This video lasts about 51 minutes. But, show this to your students. It starts out slowly (although still very cool, IMO) but this guy is amazing, as is his work.

The frog in the pot of boiling water in An Inconvenient Truth is a cinematic moment that has the desired effect. It is one of the moments from the film that the audience remembers long after the credits roll. I have often thought about how this metaphor applies to change and particularly the way that change operates in schools.

"Alternative and contemporary version of the Three Little Pigs from the Guardian newspaper. The story slowly unfolds as new information is produced. Use in lessons to focus on evidence and plot twists."

Saccharin sodium, also known as o-sulfonylbenzimide sodium salt, usually contains two molecules of crystal water, which is colorless crystal and easily weathered to lose about half of the crystal water and become white powder. The sweetness is 200-500 times higher than that of sucrose, and its thermal stability in aqueous solution is better than that of saccharin. The sweetness of aqueous solution decreased slowly after long time storage. In terms of sweetness, the anions decomposed by saccharin sodium have strong sweetness, but there is no sweetness in the molecular state, and they are disgusted with bitterness. Saccharin sodium has high solubility and dissociation degree, so it is sweet.
