The British have invaded 9 out of 10 countries | What's New in Education? | Scoop.it
Britain has invaded all but 22 countries in the world in its long and colourful history, new research has found.

 

This is a great map to show the historical impact of colonialism on the world map.  The map is based on the work in the new book All the Countries We've Ever Invaded: And the Few We Never Got Round To.

Hmmm can we predict the future... will be interesting to see what happens with these tools.

Ricard Garcia's curator insight, March 22, 3:40 AM

It's not the predictions that matter... it's the catchy infograpic we have to ensnare our students into creating their own predictions... worth using!!!

Pamela D Lloyd's curator insight, March 23, 9:02 PM

As a writer, I find this set of predictions both interesting and, well, less than overwhelming. I'd like to see more creativity, especially with regard to the "least likely" possibilities, and less focus on tech companies. I'm more interested in thinking about what life might be like, than in which social media giant is on top. What predictions do you have, and what do you think are the odds for or against?

Stephen Gwilliam's curator insight, April 30, 10:40 PM

Q. How are we best preparing our students with 21st century fluencies in our schools given these predictions?

BYOD is a controversial topic in some education circles but as with any new technology if precautions are taken to protect information and identity BYOD can make a massive difference in a classroom.

Proactive vs. reactive thinking

Proactive vs. reactive thinking | What's New in Education? | Scoop.it
Many stories and sayings try to inspire us to be more proactive, as opposed to reactive. In this context, the word reactive implies that you don’t have the initiative.

 

In a nutshell, being proactive is the same thing as being reactive.

 

===> The only difference is: you do the reacting ahead of time. <===

The Australian Curriculum v3.0 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures

The Australian Curriculum v3.0 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures | What's New in Education? | Scoop.it

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are strong, rich and diverse. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Identity is central to this priority and is intrinsically linked to living, learning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, deep knowledge traditions and holistic world view.


A conceptual framework based on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ unique sense of Identity has been developed as a structural tool for the embedding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and cultures within the Australian curriculum. This sense of Identity is approached through the interconnected aspects of Country/Place, People and Culture. Embracing these elements enhances all areas of the curriculum.


The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander priority provides opportunities for all learners to deepen their knowledge of Australia by engaging with the world’s oldest continuous living cultures. This knowledge and understanding will enrich their ability to participate positively in the ongoing development of Australia.

Catherine Smyth's curator insight, February 26, 8:13 PM

Primary teachers need to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives in their teaching. Use the ideas in this website to frame planning.

This is going to be a Cross-curricular priority, so I thought it useful to add for our RMLP teachers and in-house education providers.

With over 10 million users, Pinterest has rocketed to pop-culture fame since its launch in beta in March 2010. This rapid growth makes it the fastest growing social media site of the past year. Educators have caught on to Pinterest in a big way. From kindergarten to college, teachers, professors and students are using Pinterest creatively to organize and share ideas from all around the Web and even in their own classrooms and campuses.
