An Open Letter to Educators by Dan Brown from YouTube posted on Curriculum21.ning.com

"When we question our students about "what it takes to get really good at something" and give them the space to respond, it is amazing how insightful they can be-and how much of it lines up with the neuroscience of learning. Here are nine answers that students gave in the book Fires in the Mind, along with related teacher actions to consider incorporating into your regular practice."

"Greetings Mappers: nWelcome to beautiful Saratoga Springs and to the Sixteenth Annual Curriculum Mapping Institute and Academies. The major theme for our institute this year is Curriculum21: Mapping the Future for our Learners. You are part of a contingent from across the United States joined by educators from Australia, the Bahamas, Europe, New Zealand, Japan, Central America, and the Middle East. "

"Mike Fischer & Silvia Tolisano talk about the recent Curriculum Mapping Institute Conference in Saratoga Springs, NY. A different kind of conference who successfully embedded social media and networking to model upgrades for 21st Century Learning. Listen to interviews with Janet Hale, Jen Laubsch and Adam Bellow (Presenters and attendees of CMI2010) and hear their perspective of 21st Century learning, presenting and conferences."

"This short video gives a quick peek into our experimental classroom at the No. 1 High School Attached to Central China Normal University, where we're running a project-based curriculum. For anyone who has visited China and been taken aback by the large, quiet classrooms that feature students quietly listening to teacher lectures, this video should be of interest. As we embark on a 1-to-1 iPad classroom in our second semester of this academic year, these students demonstrate to me that they're ready for active learning in a system that to date has rarely used technology as a significant teaching tool."
