How are we doing?

Are we getting any better? have we improved on this? What do we really require to make this a more interesting model? If we talked to ALL the teachers about how students learn today, would it really change things? Or does the situation, lack of time and resources mean we can never make that quantum leap forward?

What are we watching now

Talk about one world - what are we watching now. Youtube has rated what we most looked at during 2009. What we watch affects what others watch - the viral nature of media and our viewing habits is interesting. how many times did you watch Susan Boyle sing her dream song, and what did you make of the roller skating babies?
