The teacher must be a master learner more than a master content expert.

I was rather amazed at the implications of this video in terms of where public education came from. Then, I was discussing this with a friend who said they had been exposed to the same ideas when he was in a course on the history and philosophy of education at the Univ. of Ariz. in 1970. I find it disturbing not just that the philosophy of education has such roots, but that it has been known for such a long time. It seems that this would provide some sort of imperative for improvement and change. What do you think?

I have been a critical observer of the educational system since kindergarten. I am amazed that I became a teacher in the public school system as that was the last thing I had considered. I had initially wanted to be a dancer but left for Europe to study art. I left Toronto right after high school when life stepped in. I became an English language teacher to adults in a foreign country due to unforeseen circumstances. How strange! But, I never gave up. I have been doing all I can to break the public school system from the inside. It has been quite challenging, but with some terrific personal rewards.

Copy and pasting content within Google Docs just got easier and better. Yesterday, Google announced the launch of new clipboard feature for Google Docs. The clipboard allows you to copy content from a spreadsheet to a document or presentation. Likewise, you can copy from a document and paste to a presentation or a spreadsheet cell. Probably the most important element of the Google Docs clipboard is that you can save multiple selections to your clipboard and access them at any time from any internet-connected computer.
