While at Ulearn, I was introduced to this TED talk by 10 year old Adora Svitak, challenging TED listeners that the world needs "childish" thinking: bold ideas, wild creativity and especially optimism. Kids' big dreams deserve high expectations, she says, starting with grownups' willingness to learn from children as much as to teach.
When was the last time you listened, and learnt something from a child you teach?
That was challenging to listen to :-) But liked what I heard. It's all about 'trust'. Thanks for sharing Sarah.
ReplyDeleteI showed this to my year 4 class only about 4 mins. They thought it was great and we discussed qualities of a good presentation. The class decided for next years speeches to look on u tube as part of a homework exercise. Great idea and a great way to engage ICT,

We presented our speeches a couple weeks ago and this would have been a great example to show my Year 5/6 class. I have this ready for next year. Thank you for sharing this Sarah.
