The Gospel from Scratch

The Gospel from Scratch (or GfS) is a learning method to inspire the young and the not-so-young to approach the Gospel of Jesus in four simple steps, to know Him better, to follow Him nearer, to love Him more. It is based on clear suggestions from great spiritual saints, who helped thousands of people to pray better with the Gospel.

An amazing talk given from a woman who simply shows her view of the world.
She is, technically speaking, autistic.
But, at the same time, she tries to reshape the context and proposes another view of the topic. She's a different way of thinking.

That's it. Learn it.

Sir Ken Robinson and the urgency we have to change education

An impressive video where Sir Robinson depicts his view about educational systems. And urgency to change them !

Is tech-in-education useful ??

These four statements explain why and how we can gain more and more good effects from the use of tech-rich environments in learning.
"Our goal is to help children learn to think creatively, reason systematically, work collaboratively, and learn continuously – essential skills for success in the 21st century."
