I so appreciate Dean Shareski‘s vision… he often finds great photos to accompany great quotes. [image credits]1

How are you helping your kids/students make those global connections?

  2. I am so glad to have read your post – I was just having this conversation with a fellow colleague! It is frustrating that we are so focused on a catchphrase like ’21st Century Learning’ yet, there have been little efforts (at least in my area) to reinforce it – we are still so focused on state assessments – drill and kill – basic comprehension and regurgitation of information. I would much rather my children be able to problem solve, analyze, collaborate, decision make, and evaluate rather than be able to multiply a two digit number and that be the foundation of what they know!
