Comment on Importance of teachers learning alongside students by Julie Whitehead

This is weird commenting on my own blog but...
I came across my this post by Council of Ontario Universities called Learn More & Earn More with a University Education. This article can be used as an argument for and against Sir Ken Robinson quote “you are better having a degree but it is not a guarantee any more”. I guess it depends upon your definition of "guarantee".

Hi Julie

I really like your teaching approach for your class as described here. I agree. Students who are given the opportunity to learn on their own often surpass our initial expectations, and the process does give them personal satisfaction with their own learning.

Comment on Delicious by Julie Whitehead

I hear you
I often find sites that look interesting but I don’t have time to read them.

I think a good strategy would be to use a tag (like “return”) and then when I have time to waste (ha, ha, ha), use that tag to return and investigate the site deeper.

I really like Delicious as a tool – it gets around that frustrating problem of wanting to access a website at the College, but the site was bookmarked on your home computer.

Only problem with Delicious is that is is tempting to cruise around websites for far longer than you initially planned!

Thanks so much for setting this up Julie. I have already started to use Delicious a bit since your earlier presentation.
