David Truss :: Pair-a-dimes for Your Thoughts » 7 Ways to Transform Your Classroom
"I’ll be talking about Inquiry Learning inspired by our new Inquiry Hub school, (more on the school here and here). However, the Inquiry Hub has deconstructed the school day, getting rid of class blocks and it also provides online blended learning opportunities that most schools simply could not duplicate. That said, much of what we are doing can be done in any classroom. So here are seven key aspects we are exploring at the Inquiry Hub that can help transform any classroom into a more engaging, and student-empowered learning space."

Creating a New Vision for Education Inspiring Education presents a new vision for education which includes values, principles, and a framework for the development of policy and governance. Inspiring Education is informed by the four UNESCO pillars for learning—learning to be, learning to know, learning to do, and learning to live together. While it is aligned with the international perspective expressed by UNESCO, Inspiring Education goes beyond it to reflect distinctive Alberta values and aspirations, as well as our place in a changing global economy.

The individual images can be found on local disks, created randomly from fonts, found by keyword through Google's or flickr's image database, pulled from iPhoto or pulled from QuickTime movies. You can also choose rectangles, hexagons or puzzle pieces as the shapes of the tiles in the mosaic. MacOSaiX will automatically determine the best location in the mosaic for each image. When you are done you can save the mosaic as a JPG, PNG or TIFF for printing or save it as an interactive web page."

Mr. Khan is not the only one asking that question these days. Clay Shirky, an associate teacher at New York University and a popular Internet guru, recently challenged his more than 50,000 Twitter followers with a similar thought exercise: "If you were going to create a college from scratch, what would you do?" Bursts of creativity quickly Twittered in, and Mr. Shirky collected and organized the responses on a Web site. The resulting visions are either dreams of an education future or nightmares, depending on your viewpoint: All students should be required to teach as well, said @djstrouse. Limit tenure to eight years, argued @jakewk. Have every high-school senior take a year before college to work in some kind of service project away from his or her hometown, said @alicebarr.

"YouTube brings interactive quizzes to videos with Questions Editor beta" A new page on the YouTube site describes a "Video Questions Editor Beta," which lets channel owners display multiple-choice questions on top of their videos as they play.

Don't get too excited, though: YouTube's disclaimer states the feature "represents work in progress," and "there is no plan for long-term support of the feature."
