For the past several years, our district has focused professional development efforts on explicitly teaching students the 5 Habits of Learning: communication, collaboration, independence, thinking and creative exploration. This first video highlights why explicitly teaching- and encouraging- creativity is so important.
Derek Sivers also created this video, which has an important message about the power of our words and actions. Just as harsh words can stay permanently in a person's heart, they may also stay permanently on the Internet. It is so important for children, and adults, to realize when they write something on the Internet it is not easily erased- it becomes part of your "digital footprint."
