Learning in the Middle Years

Some interesting sites were recently forwarded from a colleague after he returned from a Middle School conference in Brisbane.

This site made by a teacher librarian includes the slideshow from one of the keynote presentations and an interesting discussion on the new pedagogy needed for the 21st century

Edutopia's tech integration section has a well written article by Marc Prensky entitled Adopt and Adapt. The old things/old ways, old things/new ways... discussion is especially relevant for 1-1 schools like ours.

No doubt better viewed on a mac, this site showcases the power of iMovie as a teaching and learning tool.
