"Today's math curriculum is teaching students to expect -- and excel at -- paint-by-numbers classwork, robbing kids of a skill more important than solving problems: formulating them. "
I know my students are learning how to use a text book, take them outside and measure/photograph a problem and they are left hanging. This is a great view on how to get students to discover knowledge. It is a powerful tool.
Adrian did a full day PD with our Primary staff at the start of 09. The focus was on integrating ICTs into the curriculum. It had a significant impact on the teachers, and they are still talking about how much fun they had.
