Salman Khan outlines the new direction education enabled by technology should go. Would this approach help transform and rescue our Lutheran schools from a slow death AND enable a truly global outreach? Teacher as coach and guide . . .
Not so much a technology post, but think it over - giant outdoor bananagrams... Okay, I mostly thought Sallie would enjoy this one, but perhaps others could make use of it. It'd be a good first day of school activity as well.
Interesting episode with a former teacher, now presenter for other teachers on teaching the "gifted and talented" student. The episode isn't so much about the education end, as much as the technology behind Ian's work. Website looks very useful for teachers.

An interesting take on the topic. Not really 11, many are about how hard it is to sing with the displays. I have noticed that in some congregations we visit. I post this not to endorse the 11, but so that those of us that may be advocating for such technology understand the level of despise that may come with the displays from some members.
