I love this visual word picture of the content that is on Ms. Hansen's blog. It is exactly what's been happening in her classroom. A web 2.0 classroom.

A Whole New Mind

I am completely engaged in the book A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the World by Daniel Pink. Pink describes a shift in the knowledge-based economy to a more creative, empathic and non-linear conceptual age. It is an easy read and quite a breath of fresh air. Coming from the education world, it's about time we learn to acknowledge the creative side of learning/thinking. We need to embrace more "right-brain" skills in our schools and classrooms. (creating, producing, inventing, designing, composing, etc) Check it out.
