A very informative and tech-savvy blog for you all the check out is 2cents Worth and well worth checking out for every teacher. (I personally have it RSS) David Warlick who manages the blog not only gives great advice and links about ICT in education. He is inspiring about education and the way we approach it. Take a quote he put in today's blog entry.
"I’ve heard this one before, but it was shared again by Will Wright, creator of The SIMS, and I wrote it down word by word.
There was a professor who went into a kindergarten class one day and asked students to raise their hands if they could dance. Of course they all raised their hands. Draw? Sing? Again, they all raised their hands.
Then he went into a college class and asked the same questions of students there, and of course, no one raised their hands.
He concluded that education is the process of teaching us what we can’t do."
His personal commentary on PL as well as his outlook on education makes this a very practical blog to read, with ideas that you can incorporate into your own philosophy of teaching.
You can find his blog at http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/ and we have his blog listed in our links for your easy access anytime.
