Ken Robinson: Changing education paradigms | Video on TED.com
This is a thought-provoking and entertaining animation of Sir Ken Robinson's talk on the current state of public education, and the urgent need for a radical shift from the old model to one that inspires 21st century learners. In under 12 minutes, Robinson conveys an important message for everyone invested in educating today's children. I believe technology and web 2.0 tools can help support Robinson's push for more creativity and project-based lessons in schools.

Digital Storytelling for Young Students
Here's a Web 2.0 tool that's ideal for younger students to create digital storytelling projects. Little Bird Tales is almost too good to be true. It's completely free, and free of advertisements. Your students can upload their own artwork and or photos, and record their voices to create online audio-visual books that can be easily shared, and don't waste paper or printer ink. My favorite aspect of digital story telling is the validation students feel when their work is so professionally--and digitally--published.
