Scandinavia model for USA?

r

A delegation led by the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) recently toured Scandinavia in search of answers for how students in that region of the world were able to score so high on a recent international test of math and science skills. They found that educators in Finland, Sweden, and Denmark all cited autonomy, project-based learning, and nationwide broadband internet access as keys to their success.

Talk about Gardner's chapter 4 - we talked about the conflict between the restrictions between creativity andd the confines of the educational system. John liked the fact that the chapter gave lots of value to the almost essential stage of being an expert - valuing the position of the creator within society.Ben liked the idea of a creativity continuum on which everyone can be found.Anthony's online resources - We linked Anthony's list of journals subscribed to by BPS on the Patana web to the map and we added a bibliography of suggested reading as notes.in the news - Ben...also allocate buzzwords to people to keep updated - google alertsBen asked if there was any interest in maintaining the news side of the site.
