By Tony Bates. It has been a depressing week for me, with terrorist bombings, Trump’s environmental blunder, trade wars and political uncertainty in British Columbia. We are currently without an effective government but that seems not to be a problem for anyone. More...

Diagnosis in limbo: don’t eLearn now! Use time #blogphilosophy

By Inge Ignatia de Waard.
Everything is connected in the brain, and the brain is a predictive machine.

#OEB_midsummit teaching critical thinking by Ben Nelson @MinervaSchools
