  • But when I talk about the shift to 21st century teaching and learning, I am not talking primarily about changing the tools we use. I’m talking about transforming the way most teachers teach today – either because they were taught to teach that way or because the accountability system makes them believe they have to teach that way.

      It is really not about the tools, but about us and our students.
  • As a 21st century educator, I think about the relationship between content, the kinds of strategies I’m using as a teacher, and the technologies available.

  • I think one of the things we’ve done is we’ve trained the passion out of our students from the second grade up.
  • “the future is no place for our better days.” What if we concentrate on making their better days come alive right now in our classrooms? What if we make the things we want them to learn extremely important right now instead of serving up some prefabricated curriculum that we’ve masticated and are now putting in their mouths at some kind of level WE think they can digest? That’s what learning with passion means to me.

    For the last few weeks I've been trying out a free tool called Slinkset and I have found it to be pretty useful. Slinkset is a tool that enables you to create your own 'portal' site ( A 'portal' site is one that links to other content rather than a tool for producing content) and I've been using it to create a kind of educational technology news site. I've used it to keep track of the things that I'm reading, writing and watching online as well as adding a few links to conferences.

    Toondo is a free comic-creating tool and a fun site for kids. Here you can create and share your comic strips.

    Toondoo is a great tool that can be used in several situations. For example, after having read a book (reader), students can create the main characters of the story and write a comic strip with them.

    Yes, Selmix, that's a great idea, for it is meaningful and fun for students.
