RSS aggregates are very handy. This week we have been exploring using aggregator for RSS feeds. It's so wonderful to have all the updates go to one place then you aren't wasting your time going from Blog to Blog in search of great resources and inspiration. It has been nice spending the time to search for blogs and then search the people that follow them or even ones they follow. There are some great ideas out there and blogs are one way to make the discussion grow from outside your department to outside of your district and on to the entire world! (What a idyllic fact.)
The video we watched for a group was interesting to watch as well. The guests discussed some of the problems with the current education we have in place. We seek to individualize everything for our students to meet their needs the best we can. One guest even said that the way we currently teach will look different in the year 2050 because we will just be coordinators for students from a distance. I don't think you can take teachers out completely because that is not the way the world functions. It reminds me of the movie, WALL-E. If we had less than 120 students in a day this would be great to do. Individualize every lesson and subject for our students, but a teacher's day isn't magically longer because they have more work to do. I feel that this would be very difficult to incorporate and be successful at in our current structure and under the current governmental rules.
