Education Innovation

The title of this post is "Education Innovation" Which is also the tittle of Rob Jacobs Educational Blog. I found Jacob's blog to be fascinating for administrators, teachers and parents to read because his focus is on how education needs to be innovating.

Here is one of his posts.

Do We Limit Our Children's Creativity?

Do we limit our children's creativity? Take a look at this short clip about one child's creativity and the reactions from parents, teachers, and doctors. I think you will find it thought provoking.

Original post by Emerging Internet Technologies for Education

Original post by Emerging Internet Technologies for Education Blog you must read. Specially if you are an educator starting to think about technology in the classroom preparing for the 21st century learning.


"There are so many different tools and technologies available on the internet today, and so many associated terms and concepts. As I think about topics to focus on here in the coming months, I want to make sure we’re touching on the most important ones. What are the most important internet technologies for educators to be aware of, and informed about? I’m sure many people would probably come up with a slightly different list, but based on my observations and experiences, and feedback from faculty at my institution, I have selected the following technologies. I do not mean to imply that every educator should be expected to use all of these technologies in the classroom, but rather that every educator should understand what these are, the potential they have in the classroom, and how their students may already be using them." - by Kelly Walsh

"The Best Lists"

As always a fan reader and follower of Larry Ferlazzo's Blog, one of his recent posts called April's "The Best... Lists" is a list of The Best of April. It works better for me this way since I can find them all in one post.

Hopefully, Larry will do the same with the coming months.
