| What gets students engaged in a topic? It is a constant question that many educational consultants get from teachers. The answer is both simple and complex at the same time! In some ways it is two questions - "how do I get the students interested and engaged in what we are covering" and "how do I keep them engaged" According to neuroscience what causes engagement is novelty.

| I just returned from running workshops in Queensland, Australia and the group of teachers and I had a fantastic discussion around safety, connection and learning. Let me tune you in to how we got into it by reproducing a bit of the morning of the Advanced Inquiry Workshop. Our brain is designed to to ensure the safety and survival of our bodies. So it is always scanning to ensure that the... |

| Let us reflect for a moment. When we talk about transforming learning, what are we trying to say? Put simply, technology gives students the power to transform both how they learn and what they learn. And by transform we are not talking just about changing the appearance or form of the how or what of learning, but changing the very nature of what makes up learning. We've only seen a tiny... |

| What a great time in history to be learning! Computers, the internet, Web 2.0 applications – they bring so many learning opportunities to each of us. Laptops, netbooks, handhelds mean these opportunities aren’t just available in some “computer room” but anywhere that I am and where I’m connected.

Most schools suffer the schizophrenia of knowing that the development of essential skills and capacities is as critical as content knowledge but... |

| “It’s the things people know … that ain’t so”, Howard Armstrong, Inventor of FM Radio What is it that allows people to come up with ideas outside the box? When I ask teachers what do they see are the skills required for the 21st century some of their answers include lateral thinking, risk-taking, problem solving, etc. So teachers are also interested in creating thinking that is... |

Who would have thought when we all embarked on this adventure that we would have achieved so much over two decades?...or maybe you’re thinking the opposite…why has it taken so long!

| I am going to make a confession – soon. But first, a story. I went to my high school class’s twentieth reunion.
