This is a GREAT session from Classroom 2.0 with guest Dan Meyer, a bay-area math teacher who talks easy steps math teacher (and I believe, science as well) can take to shift the focus from memorizing approaches to solving certain problems to really engaging with PERPLEXITY (Dan's word) as a core focus.

Share this with the Math teachers you know. It's not as hard to shift as you might think, but it will require simply doing the problems as is in the textbook.

PD for the QA SS on February 18 and 19 will focus on making the shift into online learning modes using mobile computing and Web 2.0. Kim Cofino will drive this shift along with QA curriculum leaders and educational technology leaders. A combination of plenary and breakout sessions will provide all SS teachers a chance to hear about and develop skills in 21st century learning modes.

Great video of Wesch discusssing the shifts in education and why we need to transform our learning environments. He also navigates through his transformed learning environment.
