Waking up in Kansas (Brooklyn) I found it a little bit easier to get to Oz than Dorothy did when she rode the skies in a cyclone.
Google offers gentler landings Over the Rainbow - though can still take you on a surprising journey.
Following my Google-Bricked road (Reader) through Education Land I wound up in a very stunning Emerald City.
With some ha ha ha's - ho ho ho's - and a couple 'a tra la la's - I merrily read the day away and found special delight in these Ruby Slippers...
A flashy video and well written article by Barnett Berry outline the ideas he and his team have published to help guide us in a good direction towards the future of education, technology and all :)
Pressures revolved around educational reform may be especially felt these days because of the need for fast change rather than thoughtful change. The article, Teaching 2030, seems to idealize the chance for teachers to not only have room to breath, but also have room to spread their wings to a point where we will see "blurring (of) lines between those who teach in schools and those who lead them."
Thank you for the recognition, Great and Powerful Oz.
Hey Hannah,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your article. Being a "friend of Dorothy," I truly enjoyed your Wizard of Oz analogy! Your "Ruby Slippers" article was really great and certainly outlines an ideal situation for educators and the education system as a whole.
Thank you,
Sean
