Celebrating mistakes is the best way to climb the incredibly steep, insurmountable learning curve. <br />Teaching problem solving has been the best way to make knowledge accessible. In 2 years, this tool could easily be replaced by a newer generation of hand held learning tools. The question I ask myself, "Is this knowledge transferrable?"<br />The 21st century learner will be able to apply and access these opportunity from a variety of yet to be invented tools. Transformational teaching...I'm not sure if I'll ever even be on the cusp, but I will continue to strive for it.Mstaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726596958144175767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185798004347889000.post-71742031084632076752010-02-04T17:10:53.117-05:002010-02-04T17:10:53.117-05:00Thanks, Brad.

You're right, we don't know where education is headed but we do have some insights into how it is changing and what that means to the way in which we educate children. One thing is certain; continuing to teach the way we've been teaching for the last 100 years will not work. Nor, I might add, will simply placing a piece of electronic equipment in the hands of kids. It will require re-imagining what it means to learn and what it means to teach.Cary Harrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01407852474238610812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185798004347889000.post-18255021022816522452010-02-02T15:35:13.907-05:002010-02-02T15:35:13.907-05:00Very nicely stated Cary.

We do not know where education or life is headed, but with forward thinking people like yourself we will continue to give our students tools to connect and power to achieve.<br /><br />I believe that it is very important we all step back and realize that, as you have stated many a time, learning is messy! As long as we continue to move forward and understand what are students need to be successful in life we will always be doing the right thing. Lets not get lazy...lets be messy!Brad and Kristin Lovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10022855324594901744noreply@blogger.com
