Glad to see you start your blog and hope you get other replies. As you think about writing you need to think about exploring the issue more than superficially as the Checklist/criteria hold for this assignment too. Interesting thoughts re videogaming and there is some evidence that gaming facilitates the creation of new and useful life skills. Many suggest that this IS a necessary skill for the future (see James Gee for example). If you put this blog on Twitter or even put out a call for info on any topic on Twitter I'm sure you will get responses. And of course you can go the traditional path and get literature to support your position. Bravo for beginning this blog. I hope it leads to great learning. Susan

Creating a New Story for Education

January 10, 2011

Welcome. As I write this blog I welcome you as a collaborator in creating a New Story for Education. A UTube featuring Sir Ken Robinson shows us graphically what a New Story might look like.  You can download it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDZFcDGpL4U.  A recent article in the Canadian Journal for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CJSoTL) will explain to you how I see what creating a new story in education looks like.  The link is http://ir.lib.uwo.ca/cjsotl_rcacea/vol1/iss2/2/. Hoping that some of these ideas connect with your concept of a New Story in Education.
