Great video, hitting on why education reform is so important.. Like Marion has stated we haven't changed the way we teach our children since the 60's... Our world, technology is changing on a daily basis, we need to intergrade technology into the classrooms ASAP.. Our teachers need help! They have so much paperwork to fill out for admin, testing etc and teaching our children without technology.. Assisting them to make their work load less so they can focus on teaching will be one positive change for them... That's why solutions like these Axiologix: Educational Software and Services http://bit.ly/9xyYZb are crucial!! The states should be implement more programs like these to connect the teachers, admins, students and parents!

Great piece! Thanks!

Parabéns, José, pelo video tocante que nos leva a ficar algo embaraçados... será que estou a ensinar bem?
Obrigada pela eficácia da transmissão da mensagem pretendida.
Questionamo-nos... "ensinar" e "aprender", é isto mesmo!

Hi - love the video. Would recommend you read a book by John Holt, called "Why children fail" - it's brilliant, and I keep re-reading it to remind myself of the mistakes I make....
"We don't have to teach kids to be smart. They are born smart. We just have to stop teaching them to be stupid"
(the book was written in the 1960s..... re-reading it now is a little depressing - not much has changed!!)

Thanks for this film. I am going to show it to my friend teachers. Will we start learning from them?

Thank you for this nice presentation. Although we know it, it is to be said again and again. Your presentation will help as it compact, very clearly stated and attractive.
Thanks again.

Wow, What great video. That gives me such a good idea. We show some sort of "shift happens" at the beginning of every school year. We should make our own and maybe that would be the wake up call my teachers need. Thanks for the idea!

José - I like your opening (title), "I teach therefore you learn...." It's thought-provoking enough you could have stopped there, though I'm glad you didn't. Kudos for you in your bravery using the piece to start discussion at your school.

Hi José - escellent video! You make a good case for teachers listening to and learning from their students. It will be interesting to see if any of your colleagues change their practice/approach or try something new after seeing your video.

Best wishes
Paul

Thank you all for such positive feedback. I showed this video today to the members of our Teaching and Learning Committee at school, which was why I produced it, and it was very well received. I think it did succeed in getting us talking about the chasm that exists between what we teachers can/are willing to offer to our pupils and what our pupils expect from us.

Although I was expecting some resistance to the ideas in the video, I have to say I encountered none, which was fantastic, if not a little surprising ;) Perhaps there is hope after all!

Anyway, thank you all for your kind words and support.

Great video, Jose. I think that you're making your point very accessible to teachers who don't currently "get it". I've already referenced your work twice but I might have to mention you for a third time now };8)

José - You are a true example of a 21st Century Educator: passionate, reflective, adaptive, self- aware, imaginative, and transparent. I love this video, and can not wait to share it!

It is time to start listening, and hear what our students are saying to us in loud and clear ways! You remind us that it is about who we teach not what we teach! Bravo!
