Why We Blog... Why we Podcast...
Parents,Here
are a few great resources that answer in part why we Blog and Podcast in Room
208... and why this work is so
important.First, I will direct you to
an incredible podcast that I listened to this morning. It is from
David
Warlick's
podcast,
featuring an incredible reflection
from a principal in Georgia: Dr. Tim
Tyson (here is his Blog). Dr. Tyson encourages his
parents to read the book, The World is
Flat by Thomas
Friedman,
and articulates in his interview with Warlick
on how schools have changed from students being
consumers of
information to being
Creators of
Knowledge. An incredible
podcast!
The second resource is from my
podcast show, Bit By Bit
(bobsprankle.com/bitbybit). Listen to this show (http://www.bobsprankle.com/bitbybit/podcast/bitbybit071305.mp3)
to hear former Maine Governor, Angus King, talk more about
Friedman's
book, as well his arresting call for change in
schools in order to prepare our students for this changing
world.
