“Willing to be Disturbed”
From Weblogg-ed, great post about how teachers need to have their way of teaching "disturbed" so that they question themselves and their instruction.
Dangerously Irrelevant: It's not 'the tests.' It's us.
Blog post from Dr. Scott McLeod about how tests aren't the problem with education, it's the teachers.
YouTube - 21st century schools
Video from Dr. Stephen Heppell on changes schools need to make as they move forward. Great analogy of schools going the way of railroads if they don't adapt.
Weblogg-ed » Transparency = Leadership
Great blog post from Will Richardson on the need for schools to become transparent, admins to be transparent to staff in their own learning and the push for schools to educate students on being transparent.

there is certainly much I could learn from them if they were sharing. But most of them are not.
-
Whether they are in the classroom or in the front office, I want (demand?) the adults in my schools to be effective models for living in a transparent world.

I think I’m finally getting to the root of my continued frustration with my kids’ education which is the system’s inability to help them find and nurture the areas they truly have passion for. It would be nice if the institution were the place that connected my kids to the experts they desired and needed to support their learning, wouldn’t it?

I found myself amazed at how deeply woven the reasons why not are ingrained in our conversations. At one conversation, someone said that many of her teachers didn’t feel like they needed to teach with technology at all since their students were doing just fine passing the tests without it. And I wanted to scream (but instead politely said) ‘then we gotta change the assessments.” Nothing in these conversations changed my view that to really change what we do in schools we have to first change our understanding of what it means to teach in this moment. That doesn’t mean than we throw out all of the good pedagogy that we’ve developed over the years and make everything about technology. But it does mean, I think, that technology has to be a part of the way we do our learning business these days.
TeacherTube - Pay Attention
A great video from the Jordan School District in Sandy, UT. While not ground-breaking, it is a great "push you to change" video done without audio and lots of research.
CA$H OUT
Math website for counting change. Great for use on the iwb.
