I feel very strongly about some of the issues raised in this article, particularly the part concerning a teacher relinquishing authority in the classroom. I realize that many teachers find this intmidating, but I think it's far more intimidating to pretend to have all the answers... when none of us do! In addition, I find discussion of 'creativity' fascinating. It's turned up in the new ISTE standards, and Freidman disciples view it as what can separate us from global competitors. As for now, I'm not sure what I think about the multiple intelligence issue. Both sides are very articulate, and make impressive arguments... This entry was worth creating an account to read.
