Creative learning and teaching for the 21st century

4/27/2015

The Education World Forum was held in London, United Kingdom In January.

The entire Education World Forum website is worth a read.

But I found a blog posting on Creative Learning and Teaching for 21st century particularly interesting.

"Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on this day in 1929. Following in his father's and grandfather's footsteps, he was ordained as a minister in 1948. Dr. King became one of the most important leaders of the civil rights movement in the U.S., advocating a nonviolent approach to fighting for equal rights. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. Dr. King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968." ReadWriteThink.org

On a Beam of Light - Review

1/16/2015

0 Comments

On a Beam of Light by Jennifer Berne (with pictures by Vladimir Radunsky) is a fantastic introduction to the life and accomplishments of Albert Einstein. This is a great book for both classrooms and libraries.

The whimsical, dream-like illustrations lead us through Einstein’s life; from his beginnings as a speechless but inquisitive child to a grey haired eccentric genius.

The book celebrates the value of individuality whilst also giving the reader a sense of Einstein’s importance and contribution to the world of science.

In the end the reader learns the value of curiosity and is encouraged to lead a life full of wonder, thought and imagination.
