Another clip that Grant & I have been using which has a really powerful way of promoting the use of ICT in the classroom.
This project was created to inspire teachers to use technology's power to engage students in higher level thinking. Equally important, it serves to motivate leadership in schools to provide teachers with the tools and training to do so.

Are you paying attention?
This clip from Teacher Tube has been shown around at various sessions that Grant and I have been presenting at, so by popular demand we have put it here for you. Has major implications for schools and the ICT Vels domain.

Do schools kill creativity?
A must-see for every parent and teacher.
Education guru Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it.
Lots of things to think about, particularly in relation to the potential use for ICT as a creative learning tool across the curriculum.
21st Century Learning
This is a clip we've put together that might be useful for school staff to view in relation to what 21 century learners (our students) are like.
Just ignore the bloke who's speaking (yes it's me) and the fact the start is like an episode on the old favourite TV show 'Monkey'.
