Wow as we have been working towards "real world" tasks I cannot think of anything that we have done that has connected us more with the real world. This is what the students had to say about their experience.

On March 17th our Grade 3 class experienced the world of Skype with Leslie Lindballe and 3 children that live in Arambol, Goa, India. It was 9:00 a.m. here and 9:30 p.m. there. It was amazing! One thing that we found surprising was that cows are Gods. They also said that +27 C felt cold to them.
We asked them about their food, clothes and what their house was like. They asked us, if snow hurts when it hits us? We hope to Skype with Leslie again when she is in Mumbai.

Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution!

We saw Sir Ken Robinson on Wednesday February 9th.

This video has some of the ideas that he presented to us on Wednesday night in Red Deer. I have been thinking about some of what he said and he makes some really good points!
