Some of what has caught my attention recently . . .
The Cooori team sent me this link to a recent blog post. We are struggling in our program with this question of what is the new role of teachers and how to reach learners where they are. Hope to keep the dialogue going.

I know this is outdated, but I just got around to reading this report on Adrian Underhill’s Opening Plenary at IATEFL 2012. I have listened to Underhill present and he is an engaging, enlightened speaker.

I came across this well-structured Prezi calling for better approaches to education.
I cam across this nifty workshop series. I especially like the sections on Constructivism and Inquiry-Based Learning.
