Great job everyone. Very interesting. I enjoyed listening to your podcast. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the great work. It’s teachers and administrators like you that will make the difference. Please share this with as many educators as you can. Wow! I’m so impressed!

Your discussion was fascinating, I too wish that I could have joined the group. Your podcast was inspirational and has provided some great stimulus. I’m actually in Shanghai for a few days and would loved to have picked your brains for a while (we met on Tuesday briefly, well actually for about 30seconds). The notion of sharing your views as a group is magical, would love to hear more. I look forward to the 5 podcasts. Perhaps we could work on an Int’l School session?

Share the view of Shanghai which was mentioned, this is a truly remarkable city. Keep up the great work!

Wow, great discussion guys and gals! I wish I could have been there with you in Shanghai, but the podcast along with the photos is a pretty good substitute, minus beverages!

I heartily agree that we are too content driven in our schools, and I also agree that the challenge is helping convince parents that we need to focus more on skills and process than just content. Content is important, but we need to let students have truly differentiated learning experiences with content– and that is something that traditionally minded folks (like many if not most of our parents) have a hard time with. Thanks so much for sharing, I’m looking forward to hearing more from you all!

Do you all realize what a wonder it is to be able to learn things in such an immediate way. When the teacher of a foreign language has his students move physically with their language learning, the learning becomes part of their life. Your podcasts do very much the same thing. Seeing your faces, hearning your voices and then learning to do the things you do in our homes and classrooms makes our learning an immediate and enduring part of our lives. Thank you so much.
