Editor's Notes
- #2 Handouts: -package: metacognition sheet, Web 2.0 World mini poster, Blogging in the Classroom, Helpful Websites *place on chairs prior to participants arriving -DI handbook in French for each department head
- #4 This was the last time the word “revolution” and “knowledge” were used in the same context. For the most part, we have been retrieving knowledge in the exact same manner ever since the advent of Guttenburg printing press. Consider… If a surgeon from the 18th were to walk into a modern-day OR, would he be able to perform any procedure? Not likely… what we know about the human body, how we have come to learn about the human body and the ways in which we treat the human body have all evolved. If a teacher from the 18th were to walk into a modern day classroom, would she still be able to teach? Probably… Have our methods really changed? Sure, some of the information is different, but that’s nothing a little bit of extra reading and research can’t fix.
