Listening to Children

Children should be seen and not heard! – Traditional Kiwi folk saying
Will someone think of the children? – Mrs. Rev. Lovejoy, The Simpsons

In this essay, I will argue for the need for teachers to listen to children. Authentic skilful, two-way communication is an act of power sharing, which serves learners, teachers and society.

While I think any of these arguments is persuasive in itself, the three together comprise a solid foundation for a shift to a teaching paradigm with communication as its foundation.

Nanokiwi Best of the Web

Firefox!



My favourite extensions for Firefox:

Adblock: the Firefox essential - only see the ads you want.
Greatly increases the speed of browsing over dial-up

Clusty Toolbar: Very handy addition to searching that hides away neatly in the corner of the Navigation Toolbar. Instant encylopaedia and dictionary clips. Try it to see how well it works.

Forecastfox: Weather for anywhere snuggled into your statusbar.

Gmail notifier: Lets you know when you have new mail in your Gmail account - I love Gmail

Magpie: Tool for gathering images. A must for anyone who collects images from the web. So handy you have to install it to believe it!

Quicknote: Notes, quick.

And its all free!
