“If you think our future will require better schools, you're wrong. The future of education calls for entirely new kinds of learning environments.If you think we will need better teachers, you're wrong.
Tomorrow’s learners will need guides who take on fundamentally different roles.”

What’s a reflective practitioner?

My blog reminds me that I'm boneheaded and tin-eared. My blog represents me not as an edited professional voice, but as a human being struggling to express ideas, thoughts, reactions, dreams, and general b.s. via a means that uncompromisingly allows for the immediate feedback of strangers and fellow wanderers.

But blogging was the cheapest, most risk-free investment I could have made of my personal time into my job. You start by writing down things that are interesting to you, practices you don’t want to forget. And then you start trying new things just so you can blog about them later, picking them apart,
and dialoging over them with strangers. Periods of stagnancy in your blogging start to correspond to periods of stagnancy in your teaching. You start to muse on your job when you’re stuck in traffic, in line for groceries, that sort
of thing. That transformation has been nothing but good for me and it all began on a free Blogspot blog.

The Power of the Pictograph

Ten years ago, not one student in a hundred, nay, one in a thousand, could have produced videos like this. It's a whole new skill, a vital and important skill, and one utterly necessary not simply from the perspective of creating but also of comprehending video communication today.

“With a digital projector waiting back in my classroom, I can't help looking for interesting, relevant images to put in front of my class. A digital projector shrinks the time-gap between my learning moment and theirs. A digital projector has effectively buried the difference between What Fascinates Me and What I Teach.” Dan Meyer
