Wise Account Introduction An investment account called a "Wise account" enables you to put money into a variety of securities, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. You can view your investment portfolio via any computer or mobile device if you have a Wise account. As you can see, having a Wise account is a terrific way to make your money work for you by saving. You may avoid paying fees, gain access to first-rate customer support, and earn interest on your savings with a Wise account. What is the Wise account? A digital bank account called the Wise account is made for quick and secure money transfers. You can send and receive money using your mobile phone or computer because the account is connected to your mobile number and email address. Your money is secure in the account because it is FDIC-insured.

These two powerful questions framed a recent webinar presented by Professor David Perkins of Harvard Graduate School of Education's Project Zero. Answering these questions and helping teachers find meaningful and contextually relevant answers to these questions has been a focus of Perkins' work, especially in recent times. His book "Future Wise: Educating Our Children for a Changing World" introduced us to the notion of lifeworthy learning or that which is "likely to matter in the lives our learners are likely to live". This is a powerful notion and one that has the potential to change not only what we teach but also how we go about teaching what we do.

Better we make the wise decision than the expedient one. Read the older educators... Read Ted Sizer and Deborah Meier and Herb Kohl... and feel the wisdom in their words. They write without hubris, but instead with an acknowledgment of their own flawed humanity. They write with an understand that they cannot be all things to all children, but with the knowledge that they must come as close as they can. I am far from religious, but I am reminded a lot these days of the serenity prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

"Every time I attend a conference, I give myself a list of goals to meet. This ensures that I spend my time wisely and that my attendance isn't in vain. If I meet these goals, I will be more likely to attend the conference the following year. Below are a list of my goals that I make sure to meet every time my company sends me to a conference."

There are some critics who say that Long Term Loans No Credit Check are offered at slightly high rat of interest which put an unnecessary burden on the borrower's shoulder. But this financial option is absolutely convenience and its long term nature avoids paying the penalty fees which makes it less exorbitant. So, it is suggested to take the lending decision wisely.

Being wise is about so much more than knowing the right answer. Indeed, it can be argued that knowing the right answer can be an obstacle to learning and understanding. As we move further into times where knowledge is ubiquitous and yet truth is increasingly hard to find, merely knowing the right answer can be an impediment. 

Think back to how you felt after the last day you spent at a conference or course. If things went well you probably came out feeling enthused by new ideas but also exhausted and fatigued in ways that you don't after a regular day at work. If the presenters have done their job well and you choose your workshops wisely, the day should have been full of learning that resulted from you having to think. Days like this should work our brains hard and it should be no surprise when we are fatigued by such an experience. - So how might our students be coping?
