Assessment is for Learning

Here is another treasure from Scotland....Assessment is for Learning. An online toolkit that is promoted in their school district. It looks pretty user friendly and chock a block with great ideas that promote learning through assessment and linking technology.

Will Richardson and Passion Based Learning

I've just been listening to blogger and technorati Will Richardson in an online conference about re-envisioning education and he makes some good points about how we have to begin changing education. First, we have to embrace change rather than fear it. Second, we have to reach beyond school walls to our students and understand that they are familiar with accessing information 24/7. Third, we have to understand that people will pursue their learning if they are impassioned.

My question is....how do librarians tap into that passion, provide guidance and direction to students who are ready to go down that road????
