Ken Robinson animated talk about how schooling beats it out of you

This is an interesting talk about schooling and all the negatives that go along with it. While I've heard the same ideas many times for many years, Ken Robinson puts them together in a coherent narrative that comes to life with the incredible RSAnimate cartoon annotation technique. Should be required viewing for all current and future school administrators and teachers, as well as parents who've been told their child can't learn.

Learning to Teach Online - new online series from UNSW

I have been watching some of the videos in the Learning to Teach Online series from the University of New South Wales . The series covers various topics related to online teaching and they are divided into episodes which include a short video plus a PDF. I had some trouble getting the PDFs to download, but the videos played fine for me. I think the Managing your Time video is a good one for new online instructors: Overall, this looks like a good resource.
