New ways of thinking!

It's always good to have discussion around the things that matter most. Recently I have shared thoughts and answered questions about our journey into new ways of thinking. This thinking is centred around learning and specifically how children today learn.
There is something both exciting and daunting about this for us as adults...because we are so used to the model of our own experience.
As we venture into new modes, new undestandings, new thoughts...we must keep asking questions and more importantly we must keep the learner at the centre of all we do.
I like to ask the question...Is it for the good of the children I teach?
How can we innovate as well as cherish what is good?
The following link is worth a read..a little long but clearly talks about the need for new ways of thinking.
