  • That is you and I.  Those who are driven out of love and hope that we are reaching this generation with some new tools.  Those of us who know there is no "magic pill" or "super website" that will fix all of our ills, but that teachers with heart, hard work, and knowledge of technology tools AND the tools of the past that still work can produce positive results.  People willing to take the challenge of building bridges that the societies of tomorrow will walk across.

  • Educators have long noted that one of the best ways to learn something is to teach it to someone else
  • Start by translating the information into your own words. This process alone helps solidify new knowledge in your brain
  • students who studied and were then tested had better long-term recall of the materials, even on information that was not covered by the tests. Students who had extra time to study but were not tested had significantly lower recall of the materials.

    A growing number of countries are seeking to spur broadband development. This report offers policymakers and regulators an analysis of approaches that leading countries have taken in expanding their broadband markets, with a focus on the Republic of Korea. In addition, case studies cover Finland, France, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The analysis suggests policies and regulations that developing countries could consider to support the growth of broadband.

  • We’re often told that teachers “deliver” courses or particular “units” of work. But I’m a teacher: if I’d wanted to deliver units I’d have got a job as an IKEA driver.
  • The metaphor of knowledge as a package encodes a particular view of education which suggests that ideas can be neatly boxed up, wrapped in parcel tape and despatched to a student who will then accept the delivery
  • to student that doesn’t allow for any unpicking or discussion of the actual ideas themselves or questioning of how they’re formulated but is all about sending a pre-packaged idea from A to B. Once the unit has been delivered, it can be ticked off on the list and the next unit keenly awaited.

  • t’s a model of transmission from teache
  • Young people are no longer students but clients or customers. Schools and colleges become client-facing organisations with customer charters.
