Reflections: Stirring in the crock pot
Category: blogging, books I like, connecting online, education, metaphor, networks, pairadimes, reflection, technology | 1 Comment
Spring brings new beginnings just as a school year comes to an end. As a teacher it is difficult not to be reflective in June.

… continue teaching school like it is 1890.
“Blinding ignorance does mislead us.
O! Wretched mortals, open your eyes!”
-LEONARDO DA VINCI
Here it is from Kris, a 15 year-old former student, “How to Prevent Another Leonardo da Vinci“.

In my last post about my Numeracy Tasks Pro-D session with Peter Liljedahl, I mentioned an e-mail I wrote almost 3 years ago. I dug up that e-mail and found an interesting ‘conversation’ between Gary Kern and I. My comments are after the e-mails.

A great article: Competing Paradigms and Educational Reform that asks,
