Yesterday, I had the opportunity to read a couple of articles that I thought you might like to read. These articles talk about changes in education that I think we can no longer ignore hoping they just "work themselves out."
This is the
Top 10 Predictions of 2011 from
Tech and Learning. Most of them deal with technology. For you, this may not be a surprise but maybe for some!
This second article is from
Connected Principals blog written by David Truss titled,
Less is More; Teach Less, Learn More. This article contains a video that is about 25 minutes long. This is well worth your time! I found this most interesting as he spoke of Finland's education system, which is best in the world. How does it compare to the US? How does it compare to YOUR district? This article is not about technology. This is about instruction.
What did you find most surprising in these links? Who did you share them with?
