Bouncing from blog to blog, I came across this one.
http://www.newtools.org/index.php?ptitle=Front%20Page.
It belongs to someone who has dedicated his live to innovation in teaching. He might be from the UK, but I truly identify with his words…
I thought that perhaps the best bits of guidance they (the government) could give was: “Here is the content that you’ve got to cover, we suggest that you look at telling stories and making things, and just by following those two pathways suddenly teachers, as they intuitively new, can make learning come alive.
Tell me the story in words of what we have just covered, do a drawing of what you’ve learnt in the math’s lesson, map out on the floor the way in which monopolies work, or make me a plasticine model of a design of the school of the future, and suddenly, it is a very fertile way of re-energizing teaching.

This blog is a bit difficult to navigate, but offers interesting resources such as videos and podcasts.
