Thanks for posting your message. I agree with you and if I were to put my money on what a future school would look like I would hope that it still looks very much like a traditional brick & mortar school today. […]

That link leads to a whole lot of great infographics but it took me a while to find the one that you have used for your picture. It would be interesting to see if someone could design a live infographic so that […]

Thanks for the audio slide show. I’m not sure that I learnt a lot about economics or technology but I learnt a whole lot about many other things. It took me about an hour to watch this as I googled the people in […]

Thank you for sharing this post, you raise some good ideas. I think that originally grades were not designed to motivate students but rather to rank students so that we could decide who would be lawyers and who […]

Although most of my time is spent teaching physical education, a setting within which off-task behaviour is very easy to see, I have also taught health and I currently teach robotics in a 1:1 school. […] -

This started out as a very long blog and has ended up as a very short one. The point that I wanted to make was that the large number of commentators, experts and academics who tell us that schools are broken, are […] -

Thanks for your support. It will be interesting to see how it goes. My big concern is time. Student led projects always consume more time than teacher directed ones so it will be a balancing act between giving […]

Hi Jamie,

I am swamped right now with our school grades and comments plus this course so I will have a look at your documents next week and send you mine then. By the sounds of things you are able to do a lot […]

We have all read and heard a lot of good things about Flipped Classrooms or Reversed Teaching and we have heard the criticisms as well. For today’s blog entry I’m going to put these arguments aside and instead […] -

Thank you for the image love. I like to write a lot but I hate to look at all that text. Photos are nice to break things up but finding relevant creative commons photos is a very time consuming task, hence my […]

Yes we teach pencil. Parents and kindergarten teachers teach children how to hold pencils, how to make lines, shapes and letters. We teach children how to combine pencils with other tools such as stencils and […]

Who’s job is it to teach the NETs standards to students and how do we ensure they are being met in an integrated model?
This is a debate that my fellow colleagues and I have had numerous times over the last […]

Great little video. I like the rolling credits at the end. This is something that I need to add to my video. I presume that if you were using this in class you would pause the video to give the students time to […]
