Professionally refreshing, that’s what this piece is.

You write most eloquently and a guess your lecture mode is just as enthralling!

However, I am presently researching the secure functionality of blogs in the classroom, particularly for Secondary School children in the UK.

Have a look at my posts in:

So my question is, do you have any good Case Studies of interactivity with small-group blogging in the classroom?

I’m really keen to see this take off in UK schools, I’m just so surprised that it hasn’t happened earlier!

Yes, I agree, the very best teachers have always found ways to awaken the joy of discovery while responding to the times. My father, for one, never lectured in class, never gave easy answers, never let students think that they were there to please him. Even though he couldn’t teach in this time, for this time, his example continues to inspire me every time I walk into a discussion-based classroom.

Beautifully said.

As I think about your closing paragraph, I can’t help but feel that I received much of that education which you describe so well.

“creativity and resilience, boldness and deep listening and observing, on conducting research and collaborating in fluid online conversations, to create bonds with community and bridges between the personal and the other.”

It was sometimes overwhelmed by teachers who cared only about stuffing us full of information; but the core of it was there…and has served me well as a foundation for all the learning I have done since.

My foundation didn’t have computers. My learning now does; and just as I have learned from you, at a distance, I see how this tool carries so much promise for our children.

At the core of it all, even more important than the technology and all the trappings of our classrooms, are the hearts of teachers like your father, who care about their students, who recognize their gifts and who help students bring these gifts into the world.

in gratitude,

pete
