How about a little bit of dazzling math today?

Does Franklin prepare their students to do math like this?

FITCHBURG —

When the curtain rose on the set of "Public Speech, Private Thought," student actors slowly, silently crossed the stage, while overhead, electronic voices sang, "What are we? What the hell is going on?"

Justin Perry, the "rebel" college student played by Dean College student Joe Firicano, was the first to speak, the entire cast motionless around him. "Nobody is right all the time - nobody - not even if you know everything," Firicano said, preparing listeners for one of the play's star players, a narcissistic, dictatorial professor.

Building Committee suggestion

As the Building Committee looks into either renovating or building a new high school, as well as what work should be done on the other three older school buildings (Davis-Thayer, Parmenter, and Kennedy), this slideshow should be something to keep in mind.

What kind of design will foster the education environment to prepare our children for a future that is unknown?

School Design: Be the Change... (tags: school design)

What do you think?

What questions would you ask?

If you wanted to know about social media, or Twitter, or blogging, what question(s) would you ask?

I am looking to solicit some input to tune up my presentation on Blogging 101 for the NewBCamp 2009.

Add a comment or send me an email (shersteve at gmail dot com).

Thanks!

Meeting Presentations - Updated

Two quick notes on the presentations from the School Committee meeting on Tuesday, January 27.

• The presentation overview for the Strategic Plan was really slow loading from Slideshare, so I have removed the presentation and provided a link to the Slideshare site to view it there. At least until I figure out why such a small presentation (only 5 pages, no significant graphics) is doing what it is doing.
• The Life Long Learning presentation was added to that segment of the meeting. You can view that presentation here.
