Coisas para pensar em 2009 (ii) | LULI RADFAHRER - 0 views

  • Por mais que se fale da crise e seus efeitos em uma provável recessão, ela não deve frear o passo da inovação, muito pelo contrário. A multiplicidade de idéias deve aumentar em 2009, já que a falta de dinheiro e a concorrência selvagem tendem a balançar a pasmaceira das empresas e estimulá-las a ter idéias cada vez mais novas.

Passion-based learning in the 21st century: An interview with Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach | P... - 11 views

  • But when I talk about the shift to 21st century teaching and learning, I am not talking primarily about changing the tools we use.

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.
