Middle School | This American Life - 1 views

Host Ira Glass interviews a 14-year old named Annie, who emailed us asking if we would do a show about middle school. She explains why exactly the middle school years can be so daunting. Stories from the awkward, confusing, hormonally charged world of middle school. Including a teacher who transforms peer pressure into a force for good, and reports from the frontlines of the middle school dance. [This might be good for fifth and sixth graders to hear before entering middle school as preparation for the pressure and offer opportunities to discuss how to cope.]

About Our Merger with Khan Academy (October 2011)We are excited to announce that Smarthistory is now part of the Khan Academy. For the past year, we’ve been so impressed by what Sal and his team have accomplished. Our missions are perfectly aligned—we are all working toward a “free world-class education to anyone anywhere.”
-
So, it finally occurred to us, why not use the personal voice that we use when we teach online, along with the multimedia we had already created for our blog and for our courses, to create a more engaging "web-book" that could be used in conjunction with art history survey courses.

RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms - YouTube - 0 views

Saw this video in another class and think it applies here! It talks about the same question as mentioned in the slideshare: How do we prepare students for an economy we can't predict, using outdated tools that no long are relevant? Plus the artist in me just loves the "live action" animation of the drawing of the main points. Enjoy!
