Ewan MacIntosh is someone I really admire. He has made a strong contribution to 21st century education with a prominent role in England and Scotland, including work as Digital Commissioner 4iP (Scotland, Northern Ireland and The North East) at Channel 4. Some of the Muritai staff subscribe to his regular posts. He is a strong advocate for student voice and engagement of children in their learning using 21st technology.
In this short video he gives credence to our blogging culture at school. He talks about the development of an outcome as the important thing to be shared and celebrated and describes learning as often messy! All our teachers keep class blogs which children contribute too and share the learning landscape with the local and global community

Future of Education
One of the best sources of quality discussion around education can be found at good old National Radio. This discussion on Kathryn Ryan's 'Nine to Noon' slot sees an excellent interview with Dr Monica Martinez about the future of education.
Listen to this excellent podcast by clicking here.
Monica Martinez is lead developer of the US-based KnowledgeWorks Foundation's influential '2020 Forecast: Creating the future for learning'. The discussion touches on how this Foundation uses the 2020 Forecast to highlight how education is evolving in a world where learning is tailored to the needs of the individual student and brought to life through real-world experiences.
