The goal of education
http://www.dailymail.co.uk
“The goal of education is to enrich the lives of students while producing articulate, expressive thinkers and lifelong learners that are socially responsible, resilient, and active citizens of the world. Education is about teaching students, not subjects.”

Content isn’t King. It’s a Tyrant...
• How do I find stuff?• How do I know it’s accurate?• How do I share content?• How do I filter content?• How do I keep up with all the news?• How do I organise content?• How do I categorise content?

“Where digital communication has
fractured the tyranny of distance and computers
have become pervasive and ubiquitous, identification through digital mediation
has become the new cultural capital”.

UFO crash lands in school playing field!
http://simcloughlin.wordpress.com/2011/07/16/just-another-week-at-the-office/
Simon McLoughlin, a primary teacher, decided to create a bit of a scene...
He organised for some of the parents to design and create a UFO which was then ‘crashed’ in the school field.

The school even organised for the police to be at the scene with their ‘Do Not Cross’ incident tape.
This added an extra air of realism...
