Achieving the Dream always has good articles. Most of the them are related to developmental education, but there are some which are related to first generation students as well.

Thousands of young people around the world are sharing their dreams and visions with the guidance and support of an Adobe Youth Voices participating educator.

If you believed the media shock jocks, every kid on the internet is either an idiot or in great peril. But I want to tell a different story starring my daughter, her best friend and a small group of friends ( including my opportunistic son!). This is a completely different story that highlights the amazing opportunities that today's available technology offers our students. It's also a story about how, if given the freedom, children will take what we 'make' them do at school and take it to a whole new level that the limited minds of us teachers don't even plan for. It explains why student led learning can be a success if we don't restrict our students from going beyond our stated objectives. It shows how true engagement doesn't need a teacher or a classroom for children to achieve great things and how technology can allow young students follow their dreams with the restrictions we had in the past.

Take today's kindergartner and fast forward 5,000 days: Will that same child be a confident graduate prepared to tackle his or her dreams? Stay tuned as the 5,000 Days Project follows the lives of a diverse group of students as they progress through the Issaquah School District. The participants are being filmed each year, and their final video documentaries will be posted here as they graduate.

TED Talks Child prodigy Adora Svitak says the world needs "childish" thinking: bold ideas, wild creativity and especially optimism. Kids' big dreams deserve high expectations, she says, starting with grownups' willingness to learn from children as much as to teach.

TED videos -- the best thing since sliced bread. Immense educational potential. Adora's awesome, of course.
