Project-Based Learning Leads to Innovation - Global Learning The number one question I am asked is what teaching for the global innovation age looks like. My colleague Lisa Tyrrell offers a glimpse at promising practices. By Lisa Tyrrell At the recent Deeper Learning Conference at High Tech High in San Diego, keynote speaker Dr. Tony Wagner spoke about the importance of preparing students for the innovation economy. Many of the young, successful entrepreneurs that Wagner interviewed for his book noted that it was their project-based learning experiences that prepared them to be successful in the global innovation economy. How are schools working to encourage the next generation of innovators? For example, consider Brian Bailey, English teacher at the Ambassador School of Global Leadership in Los Angeles, California. Another good example comes from The Denver Center for International Studies (DCIS), where upperclassmen are afforded the opportunity to explore their personal passions through a program called Passages.

Teachers Are Awesome: This Physics Teacher Gives Students a Memorable Lesson About the Meaning of Life | Education on GOOD Ever have one of those teachers that made a tangible impact on you not just because their instruction was so amazing that you completely fell in love with the subject, but because they imparted unforgettable life lessons? Jeffrey Wright, a physics teacher at Kentucky's Louisville Male High School who's profiled in the above New York Times-produced video, is one such educator. The video was released just before the New Year, so if you missed it during all the hustle and bustle, you'll want to give it a view. You'll see that Wright's an incredible instructor—the passion he has for the subject, will make you wish he'd been your physics teacher, too—but, as he told the Times, "When you start talking about physics, you start to wonder, "What is the purpose of it all?'" Students started asking him "those ultimate questions," says Wright, "I wanted them to look at their life in a little different way—as opposed to just through the laws of physics—and give themselves more purpose in life."

Education Rethink A Quick Look into the Science of Time It turns out Doctor Who was right: “Timey-wimey” is, indeed, a bit “wibbly-wobbly.” Scientists have confirmed, several times, that the speed at which time passes is both variable and malleable. We can speed it up. We can slow it down. In fact, you do so every day without knowing it. But before we explore the concept of time, we need to first explore the concept of gravity. Earth’s gravity pulls all objects—from all directions—toward the center of the planet. Mass creates gravitational force. Now, let’s take a step off the surface of these planets and explore what’s going on in the space around them. In his 1905 special theory of relativity, Einstein asserted that space and time were not two separate phenomenons or entities. In 1916, Einstein updated his special theory of relativity to account for gravity. Scientists have confirmed this to be true several times since Einstein first put forth the idea. There are a few dozen GPS satellites floating high above the Earth.
