Hey Sharon:
Thanks for sharing your presentation – sorry I wasn’t able to make it there at ISTE. I also really enjoyed meeting and chatting with you in San Diego and look forward to working together in Mumbai.
I also like the nice clean look of your blog.
Thanks!
Tim

The state of affairs in education (both in the developed and developing world) is staggering to say the least. I too find myself moving back and forth between “cynicism to optimism”. Gladly, I always land on optimism. As I say to my students, “stay in the struggle”.

Sharon, I really enjoyed your presentation at ISTE and I agree with you that student-driven is best and that solutions must be sustainable. I love the expression “hand up rather than hand out”. This is so important! In the PYP we talk about how action is the end result of learning. I’ve not heard the term “slack-tivism” before but it is certainly very appropriate. When I helped facilitate the student council at my school we used Hart’s Ladder of Participation to look at how authentic student action really was – it’s so easy for action to be simply tokenism.

Loved this post Sharon, it’s always great to see the positive effect service learning can have on both the providers and recipients.

Thanks for the great tool! I'll try to use it. By the way, as for languages, I also use other online tools, such as thesaurus dictionary.

I am a current student of education, and we have been discussing many of these topics recently in our classroom. It is a nice change to see them being applied an a real life setting. I thoroughly enjoyed your post.

thanks,

Jake
