EdSPEAK! Documenting Stories in Education
I call it EdSpeak. It will be a series of stories, ideas, and suggestions collected from educators / students from all over the world. I have started this series with the Parramatta Diocese Catholic Education Office (in New South Wales, Australia). I have enjoyed their enthusiasm towards change (now) and I think they have the right people to make it happen. They have a visionary leader (practical in my eyes). His name is Greg Whitby and I believe he gets it. Lets see and listen to the sights and sounds of the schools, the classrooms, the teachers, and the students. See below for movies.
Here are 9 movies I put together for you to watch, talk about, and even use to engage others in the very important dialogue of making a difference in schools-- in transforming them. These are also quick ways of teaching simple and effective ways of using documentary storytelling skills to convey a message.
Using movies as a way to communicate new learning makes more sense than JUST writing about it. This dialogue requires more options. I like to use multimedia (movies, music, design, etc). It reaches a greater audience, not just educators.
