Interesting and relevant

Good ideas about how to use technology in 21st century classroom

Reading is changing. Sometimes it's hard for people to imagine how, this article takes a historic look at how reading has changed and begins to imagine where we are going. Very exciting. Much food for thought

Great article by Alfie Kohn

Good Thinking on why networking is important. Most importantly, it allows us to collaborate in ways in which we've never before been able to.

Great blog by Beth Newingham and Angela Bunyi. Filled with resources and ideas. Not reading and writing specific but they do address this often.

If your kids read and love Roald Dahl, check out this website.

Love this--well done. Will use in presentation for literacy in the 21st century

Great reel about being excellent. Worth watching to be reminded.

Outstanding. Must read this!

another site like free rice. Vocabulary development with a social conscience

Very interesting post.

This is helpful. While I don't necessarily promote using all of the strategies listed here, I especially liked the crazy professor reading game

REally well done--what I like about this blog is that the recommendations are short videos. I watched them all and I LOVE The Educational Change Challenge and the Kevin Honeycutt video.

I've seen a few already, can't wait to get started watching some of the others.

If you watch any of these, be sure to let us know how it was--which ones are truly inspiring and which ones are kind of duds?

Fabulous book recommendation site for kids!

A great reminder--should be read at the beginning of every school year.

TED Talks Developmental disorders in children are typically diagnosed by observing behavior, but Aditi Shankardass knew that we should be looking directly at their brains. She explains how a remarkable EEG device has revealed mistaken diagnoses and transformed children's lives. This is fascinating!!!!

Being that I'm trying out this experiment with Matthew, I sense that I might become a strong proponent when working with teachers. This spot was recommended via another group I belong to. Might be worth checking out. Blogging without a lot of the security concerns.

Very interesting article. I am always wondering what the future will bring. What I love about Khan's approach is that he teachers in ten minute increments. I SOOOOOO believe in less is more.

What do you think of this?

I know what you're saying about correct content, but as someone interested in philosophy, i ask, What is correct? I know he does a lot of math/science stuff, I guess that is a bit more black and white but when you are presenting theory, so much is left to the interpretation of the instructor. As I meet and talk to more and more fresh graduates of education programs, I am left asking myself the same questions that the critics are posing of this guy--what is the quality and correctness of content they are receiving? Some are very blessed to receive thorough, up-to-date information. Others, not so much. I guess when it comes to teaching and learning, it's a lot like gathering information on the web--you have to know the quality of the source.
