Concept of ActivClassroom. Top ten ways!

Before watching this video sit-down and open your mind to a new kind of academy concept. This is Ron Clark Academy , full of energy teachers and technology-minded children . If you like this idea you'd love it, if you don't you'd be bored. I personally agree with part of the phylosophy and I think It would be great having people like this in current education. If you want you can set up part of this energy into your classroom and enjoy it!

Free schools in England: Science Schools, Maths Schools...

Something is changing in the world. And when crisis time is already here, big countries invest on one of the most important points in the development of a Nation, which is EDUCATION.

I was looking for an easy way to explain what PROJECT BASED LEARNING is and then, one of my twitter 'explorers', this is what they are in some way for me (people who helps me to find out interesting things about education) twittered an interesting YouTube video which was presented like this: ' The Buck Institute for Education commissioned the cutting-edge advertising agency, Common Craft, to create a short animated video that explains in clear language the essential elements of Project Based Learning (PBL)'. And I thought 'sounds great! somebody's paid others to do what I was looking for!'. So here you have, for you and for my students...click on it! PD: Thanks to my twittermates ;)))
