Hope this Monday finds you energized and productive! I ease into my week with Monday as my first rev-up day with each day taking on more work until the Friday finale, rather than Mondays being my busiest day. So I enjoy reading articles like these with a cup of coffee on a Monday and hope you do too. Here’s what I’ve recently run across and just had to share. Even if you don’t agree with the writers, they challenge us to consider whether we are holding onto false beliefs.
- Unlocking Academic Success with Frame Games for Learning - Yes, games for learning! Loved this one!
- More ideas on the benefit of gaming while dispelling the myths: Video Games More Creative Than Reading
- On DIY schooling becoming mainstream and fashionable: Why Urban Educated Parents are Turning to DIY Education
And the bonus read submitted by Christina Pilkington of Interest-Led Learning is:
5 Ways to Help Someone Love Reading – http://yes-i-can-write.blogspot.com/2012/01/5-ways-to-help-someone-love-reading.html
Which of these articles did you enjoy the most? I’d love to hear from you! If there is a great article you’ve read this week, feel free to share it as well and I’ll choose one from the comments section to feature as a bonus in the next edition!
Krista, I have another article you might like. It’s called Mother’s Love Leads to Better Learning at Parent at the Helm website – http://www.parentatthehelm.com/8045/mothers-love-leads-to-better-learning/comment-page-1/#comment-52248.
Thanks for sharing the other articles. I enjoyed most of the DIY article. I thought she did a pretty fair job of describing the homeschooling community, although it really, really saddened me to hear, for both her and her son’s sake, about her “detachment parenting” philosophy. But that is the philosophy many parents use so I shouldn’t be surprised.
