"Surviving as a teacher isn’t easy. Between the sheer work load, diversity of tasks, brutal pace, and seemingly divergent initiatives pulling you in a thousand directions, education can break even the most noble spirits. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Below are ten tips to keep you ticking when things get tough." The post also suggests that as teachers we need to find the balance between the needs of our learners and content. For some great suggestions check out this post!

...a couple more: - know your students (passions/knowledge/relationships) - be a part of the learning team; don't be afraid of "I don't know".

At the DML Conference in San Francisco back in March, Doug Belshaw (co-kickstarter) of Purpos/ed contributed an Ignite talk on 'Why we need a debate about the purpose(s) of education.' A short talk (~5 minutes) with images that will raise questions in your mind. You can add your voice to this dialogue at the website Purpos/ed: http://purposed.org.uk/

Global Digital Citizenship is a critical element of any teaching program at any level. Our students are connected. Irrespective of the age of the student they are wired. We are seeing devices reducing in cost, increasing in availability and entering most classrooms and almost every school.

Beth Dichter's insight:
This is a great interactive model of critical thinking. One circle has 8 elements of thought: * Question at issue * Information * Interpretation and influence * Concepts * Assumptions * Implications and Consequences * Point of View As you role over and selelct an element of thought you are hown additional information about the element. For example, if you were to select Point of View you would be prompted to understand your point of view and provided with questions to further your thinking. In addition there are also prompts for intellectual standards to consider. The intellectual standards include: clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic, significance, and fairness. In each of these area there is a brief definition as well a three additional questions to consider. There is also one choice (more) that provides you with additional standards you might want to consider and suggests that you think of your own.

I'm thinking this is a pretty complicated model given that many of our very best critical thinking is done within the space of a blink! However, it's useful to be able to break it down and explain it for undergraduates for whom universities have great expectations in criticial thinking but don't really explain how they know what it is when they see it. And, sadly, in introductory courses too often professors don't expect critical thinking of their students - sticking too close to recall or lower levels of application thinking for their expectations of student performance.

terrific toy for educators to play with and use - would work great in a group discussion with a faculty scholarly community...

We're excited that our next campaign, Purpos/ed Take 2 starts tomorrow! We've got someone each day (apart from Sundays) answering the question: What's the purpose of education? That would be today! The first post can be found at http://purposed.org.uk/2012/05/steve-philp-the-purpose-of-education-is-hope-purposedu-500words/. This may be a great way to find inspiration over the next 30 days!

This is the second video of four that describe how to "write" a story that you will be filming. From this page you will be able to find the first of the four and links to the additional two.
The first video discusses the need to understand the four P's:
* People: Who is in the story?
* Place: Where does the story take place?
* Plot: What is the conflict and the journey?
* Purpose: Why should anyone care about this?
The second video discusses the need to do research and to find keywords that relate to People, Place and Plot.
The third video moves on to the final preparation work that needs to be done before filming.
The fourth video brings it together and provides a link to worksheets that you can download and use.
If you are introducing storytelling to your students, or doing it yourself for the first time these videos provide a background that will help make your project successful.
