  • And I'm mad that the "big" conversations around "reform" in education right now all revolve around basically doing what we've been doing for the past 100 years only "better," and that we'll get there by incentivizing teachers to teach for a test.

It's Not About the Technology :: I was thinking… - Learning to be me. - 0 views

  •  
    computers can support learners, open doors to a world of possibilities and learning opportunities and global thinking. They can provide a chance for every child to learn their own way and construct their own knowledge. They can facilitate conversations with other people and other children around the world. They can knock down the isolation of a classroom's four walls and invite in the voices, experience and passion of the entire planet.

26 Learning Games to Change the World | Mission to Learn - 0 views

  •  
    This would be great for some motivating ways to learn lots. As blogged by David Warlick "They are all serious games aimed at exposing students to some of the critical problems that face people around the world, including malaria, famine, nuclear proliferation, and congress (not a joke). One game, World Without Oil is about the first 32 weeks of a global oil crisis. It launches with the fictitious announcement that gas, at the pumps, now costs $4.00 a gallon."

Discover What is Pangea Day and how film unites people to build a better future - 0 views

  •  
    The Pangea Day Mission & Purpose Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film. Why? In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that - to help people see themselves in others - through the power of film. The Pangea Day Event Starting at 18:00 GMT on May 10, 2008, locations in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked for a live program of powerful films, live music, and visionary speakers. The entire program will be broadcast - in seven languages - to millions of people worldwide through the internet, television, and mobile phones.

Drape's Takes: No Teacher Left Behind? - 0 views

  • There is a difference between leaving someone intentionally 'behind' and choosing to work only with those willing to change. There is a difference between teaching with technology and using technology to engage learners. There is a difference between being a lifelong learner and being too busy to learn.

    Ideas I'm thinking of sharing on SEEDLINGS Oct. 30th.
  •  
    * In spending so much time to create (shallow?) connections with such a wide range of educators on a global level, isn't it possible that one might also neglect local relationships that are equally (if not more) important? * What can we do to consistently maintain a healthy perspective? Shifting gears to a higher plane: * Do we really think that all teachers need to be this connected? * Can every teacher (human being) handle all of the information? Are they "bad teachers" if they can't? * And what about those teachers that take 25 minutes just to create a Gmail account (PEBKAC)? Will it really be worth my time - and theirs - to help them enter the 21st Century? Or are the benefits of such efforts simply not worth the costs? I guess what I'm really wondering is this: * Is it ever OK to simply leave some teachers behind?
