21st Century Science Instruction in 1997

A few evenings ago, I had the opportunity to join some of my vice-principal colleagues for a book club dinner. I value their friendship, camaraderie, support and humour. Our conversation eventually turned to 21st century learning (not surprising as that was the title of the book we were discussing). As we were dissecting changes, or lack thereof, to pedagogy, I commented: "I should show you the old video of my biology class someday." Based on my age, this sparked some hilarious comments, such as "Is it a filmstrip?" See above comment re: valuing humour.

So, after a bit of digging and reformatting here is the link to the video. This excerpt is from the Linton Professional Development title "The Technology-Infused Classroom" and is used with their permission.
