When I saw this visual by Bill Ferriter, I decided to share it, as it made think of what Margaret Mead once stated: 'Children must be taught HOW to think, not WHAT to think.'

I truly believe technology tools can be learning boosters and what is written as the wrong answers to the question: 'What do you want kids to do with technology?' might (and should) lead to what is listed in the right answers.

Technology is not merely entertaining! It is a powerful tool to grab our students' attention as it is part of their everyday lives.

Who needs Teachers?

'Why do I need a teacher when I’ve got Google?' is just one of the challenging, controversial and thought-provoking questions Ian Gilbert poses in his long-awaited follow up to the classic Essential Motivation in the Classroom. Questioning the unquestionable, this book will make you re-consider everything you thought you knew about teaching and learning, such as: What’s the real point of school?; Exams – so whose bright idea was that?;  Why ‘EQ’ is fast becoming the new ‘IQ’; What will your school policy be on brain-enhancing technologies? (...)

With his customary combination of hard-hitting truths, practical classroom ideas and irreverent sense of humour, Ian Gilbert takes the reader on a breathless rollercoaster ride through burning issues of the twenty-first century. This book is designed to challenge teachers and inform them – as well as encourage them – as they strive to design a 21st  century learning experience that really does bring the best out of all young people. After all, the future of the world may just depend on it. You can take a look inside the book, if you please, by following this link!...
