So true! That's why so many leave the profession so quickly.

You can see the whole slideshow at http://www.slideshare.net/chrislehmann/ignitephilly-presentation?type=powerpoint

Chris says it well. He claims what he imagines for learning. You have the power to transform schools into places for inquiry and problem solving; how long will the students have to wait? how about your own children?

It was something along the lines of "no cell phones, no pagers, no texting, no talking"

"What happens at school is real life, not preperation for real life!" -My new favorite quote!

Give them a PROJECT! A project bridges the gap between knowing and doing. Today, it's not what you know. It is what you are able TO DO. Give students a chance to perform through a project.

We need to help students ask good questions about what they are interested in -- not force feed them answers to questions they didn't ask.
