The GISA Keynote Speaker
The 2010 GISA Annual Conference is in Atlanta this year at Holy Spirit Prep. I will be one of the presenters (along with 3 other teachers from HIES!) at the conference this year. It will be my first time presenting at GISA.
What isn't my first time is hearing the Keynote Speaker Sir Ken Robinson. He is fairly well know in educational reform circles and has one of the most watched speeches in the short history of the TED talks.
Here is a link to one of his more recent speeches about why there is a need for public education reform. The animation that accompanies the speech is totally awesome. My goal is to have all of my classes presented the same way!

Blog Question #6
After listening to the podcasts (Unit 2: Prelude pt. 1 & 2 and Unit 2: Settling Down) chose one of the following questions to answer. Then comment on one other person's post.
1. Why was the development of agriculture essential to the growth of the city?
2. What is the difference between a village and a city?
3. In what ways did settling down and abandoning nomadism change people's lives?
