Shift Happens - revisited, with sources
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...
My last blog post was a video titled “Shift Happens”, and I asked for feedback about the sources – many thanks to everybody for their responses. It turns out that the video was updated in June 07 (see below), and comes from a group of US based educators, Kark Fisch and Scott McLeod. I’ve attached their list of sources below. There’s also a wiki where you can join the debate at Shift Happens.
