What does family mean to you? What does it mean to your students? Our students would love to know!

We are looking for essays/poems/submissions of any kind about families to add to our writing wiki: http://authentic-voices.wikispaces.com/Family

Please take a moment to read/listen what our students have already written about what family means to them. Let's help broaden their perspective by adding essays from across the world! Read more here: http://edtechdunny.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-does-family-mean-to-yo...

Feel free to reply here, leave a comment on my blog (link above), contact me through Twitter (@edtechdunny) or go ahead and join the wiki!

Hello Everyone !!!!!
I am a semi-retired UN Advisor of Education who was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2008 for " networking global administrators in order to understand other cultures, countries and specifically students in order to create a pathway to sustained peace ". I have been involved with preparing a contribution for the ' Encyclopedia of Philosophy of Education '. I am having some difficulty with the subject matter. The avenue I am going with is a history of experiential education from Dewey to modern day. The problem is I don't know how to approach it. I have been also invited to prepare an essay for the ' Journal of Intrnational Education '. The main theme of the particular issue is poverty. Again, I don't know how to approach it.I was thinking of discussing the methodology of curing the problem through educational improvements. I am asking the group for your input. I would even give your names as co-authors if you would like. I am very happy to be communicating through this roadway.

Hi everyone! I'm starting my first year teaching and will be working with students learning English as a second language in grades 6-8. I would LOVE to work collaboratively with another class on some kind of project that would foster writing and all communication skills! Any ideas/others interested?

I'm involved in an education non-profit, Voices Education Project. We have a new program, the Playback series. The idea behind Playback is to have students/educators and visitors to our site write stories about people who do extraordinary acts, especially under trying circumstance. Students research and/or interview subjects, record findings and post them as published works on our site: www.voiceseducation.org. We are looking for teachers and students to participate beyond the Seattle area. Looking forward to hearing from some of you and exploring possibilities.

Voices is an arts and humanities site that operates as a clearinghouse on materials that relate to issues around war and peace and alternatives to war.

We recently started discussing what constitutes "writing" in a digital existence.

Chris:
We hold "coffee house days" in April, just before spring break in our middle school for grades 6, 7, and 8 .....

What type of collaboration were you thinking of? Each individual teacher has either given for or topic suggestions for the stduents' readings, but they are not held strictly to it ....

Do you have something specific in mind?

I am beginning to organize an international Bilingual Poetry Festival for the month of April, which is National Poetry Month here in the US. I'm an upper school Spanish teacher, and my students will be writing poetry and collaborating on projects with students from Mexico, Argentina, and Uruguay. If anyone is interested in participating, just leave me a note. Gracias.

Children Inspire The World

The Legacy of Sustainable Education

Teach

Children teach us a lot about what is right and wrong

Meaningful Reciprocation

Certain of the values and principles that we taught them is/are further improvised and meaningfully reciprocated; in the form of global developments

- (however more than global developments alone is the Attitude - the Character that is sparkling and meticulous - admirable and exemplary indeed)

Known

It is evidently clear that what the children are taught tends to shape their ideas relating to the concept in a particular way that the teaching is imparted.

Profound

This tends to have a profound impact and plays a important role in their thinking / analysis relating to various factors in life.

Remind

At certain instances, children humbly enable us to perceive and realize the integral perception of truth regarding certain factors that might have been prevalent once upon a time.

Reflection

It is natural when it is said that the children are a reflection of ourselves.

Perceive

What we wish to perceive in their accomplishments depends upon what meaningful guidance/inspiration is provided to them.

Understood

At certain stages of life, we think we should have accomplished certain objectives and wish to perceive our children achieving the concerned,

- however there is a methodology and relevant process where meaningful reason needs to prevail along with observance of various other meaningful related factors.

Vital Importance

Meaningful upbringing of our children is amongst the very most important priorities of our life.

The Legacy of Sustainable Education

This is the wisest investment; the rewards of this are priceless

Need

Children need admiration, appreciation, aspiration,caring, consideration, compassion, dignity,

education, generosity, gratitude, happiness, harmony, gratitude, literacy, love, prestige and all the very finest of virtues life provides.

Peace, Love, Hope, Faith, Inspiration, Wisdom, Compassion, Consideration, Prosperity & Progress

Conflicts need to be completely avoided and all investments all across the World should be focused upon shaping our Societies, our World with a generous investment in supporting a Sustainable Education Plan / and of course Sustainable Economic Development Globally as well.

(however the Sustainable Educational Plan consistently being accorded predominantly the greater priority and precedence;

- since with awareness, knowledge certain management techniques are taught

- but if there is all the wealth available and not appropriate guidance then it could get absorbed in a fraction of a very short time and then what?

- then it makes one think what went wrong where? Education is extremely essential,

- Yes Economic Development is vital but so is Education, Education is one of the Pillars alongside Economic Development; One cannot sacrifice Education or ignore it; it merits equal and pivotal importance as the Economic Plans)

Accomplish

The greatest awards / rewards in life are of no merit; of no concern and no regard when the welfare of children is/are overlooked

Deserve / Merit

Children all across the word truly deserve the very richest gift of all time; The Legacy of Sustainable Education

Inspire

Children always Inspire us; Now it is time for all conflicts to be completely stopped and for the World to Inspire the Children too by taking meaningful actions that could create greater good for one and all.

Repeat - The Very Best & Meaningful Gift - The Legacy of Sustainable Education

The Legacy of Sustainable Education , It is rightfully the very best and meaningful gift for Children all across the World.

Sarve Bhavantu Sukhina; Sarve Bhavantu Sukhina

May One and All be Happy;May One and All have well-being;

May Happiness be showered on all;May One and All be Healthy

O Lord Protect us

O Lord Guide us

O Lord Grant us Wisdom

O Lord Lead us from darkness to Light (From ignorance to Knowledge)

O Lord May there be Universal Peace, Wisdom, Happiness, Prosperity and Progress

Best Wishes,

Vashi Ram Chandi

Join the International Writing Exchange (IWE) courses in English. The courses are run via Moodle and are suitable for groups of students in schools and universities, as well as for teacher trainees and self-study students. The courses run continuously all year round, in six-week modules. Currently, our students are mostly undergraduates, but our courses are suitable for intermediate to advanced-level students of all ages.

The courses are free of charge in 2009, and, as Ruth Vilmi has now retired from teaching, local teachers exchange ideas, agree on tasks and suggest changes in the forum for online teachers in the current round. Teachers are responsible for the behaviour of their own students, and expected to commit their classes to the writing exchange for at least 6 weeks (or one round).

I started a WriteIt ning for the program to help keep the courses free and ongoing.

Thank you.
Nellie Deutsch
