One of the advantages of using a ‘gathering’ service such as Google Reader, is that we can “automatically” receive new/current postings from a variety of authors. One such author, David Warlick, recently posted “A Path to Becoming a Literate Educator“. I invite you to read and cosider his 12 steps for success as a 21st-Century educator.
The video linked here may stir some argument. Be that as it may, but the creativity issue is one worth significant consideration. Those attuned to the requirements for 21st century success list creativity amont the top five of qualities needed for our current students to succeed in life after school. Wouldn’t it seem reasonable for us to help them practice their creativity now?
