This is my maiden blog on Discover-ed. I wanted to start an educational blog not because I’m an educator, but because I believe there are such interesting articles and ideas concerning education in our culture today. I hope this blog will provide a one-stop place to see what is being said and hopefully done, regarding education and educational technologies in classrooms across the U.S. and globally. I welcome your feedback and hope we can participate in interesting discussions on the topic of education.
My first article post is a tribute to John Hughes, called John Hughes’s Lessons by Maureen O’Connell. O’Connell isn’t providing a critic of Mr. Hughes as a film maker but as a “seer” of high school student angst and how students view their education and want to be a part of the learning process. She particularly highlights Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (one of my personal favorites) and the pedagogical strategies all teachers are faced with in the classroom daily.
There is also a link in the article to Mr. Hughes’ films!
