Future Trends in Learning

Raising Modern Learners is a newly created fortnightly online newsletter  by educators,Will Richardson (US) and Bruce Dixon (Australia). Although aimed at parents  it's a  a new go-to place if you  want to stay informed and be part of the conversation  about issues in contemporary education. It will be thought provoking and will advocate for more student centred change in our schools.

We’re dedicated to helping parents (and educators) stay abreast of these changes in timely, thought-provoking, concise, and interactive ways, and to help them find ways to advocate for more modern, student-centred change in their schools that reflects the needs of [our]time.

The latest article entitled "First take:are we finally getting tired of the tests" advocates reducing the number of standardised tests our students take,stating how often they are unable to gauge the attributes of a contemporary leaner.As I said,thought provoking. News articles come out fortnightly and can be accessed via the website or you can download the free iTunes app for either iPhone or iPad.
