Vol 18|No 3|January 2009 A True Original By Jamie McKenzie With important groups such as ISTE, AASL and the Partnership for 21st Century Skills all calling upon schools to stress originality, imagination and creative production, the meaning of those terms along with related concepts such as synthesis, innovation and invention becomes central to defining the purpose of education. This focus on originality represents a major shift for many schools, classrooms and teachers. It also contrasts dramatically with the draconian methods and measures imposed in the U.S. by the unfortunate and flawed NLCB. This article examines the meanings of the key concepts while considering how they might shape learning in schools during the next decade. http://fno.org/jan09/original.html Jamie McKenzie Editor From Now On - http://fno.org The Question Mark - http://questioning.org fromnowon@earthlink.net 917 12th St. Bellingham, WA 98225 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
