Here's a new Blog from an ASU professor (James Paul Gee) on the future of educators and education... There are a lot of really great concepts and ideas in this one as well. Very thought provoking. I can identify with finding solutions outside of the box. But, there a few ideas that I feel we should consider and run with...

Making Education Sexy
Teachers learning along with their students
Fan fictions to develop writing
Just in time language
"Passion Communities"
De-professionalized teachers

Videos for Educators

Here's a few videos that I came across that are worth sharing...

Not only because they provide a new concepts but also provide us a glimpse of what may be happening in the future.

Clay Shirky's video on institutions and collaboration... a thought provoking way of how we look at our existing organizations and how we may want to break exisiting limitations. A good watch and something to think about.
