The teachers who placed the questions in front of the students have some comments and suggestions.
(1) we read Neil Postman's questions in Teaching as a Subversive Activity. CLICK HERE to get the free PDF from a site in India.
(2) we conspired to place the questions in front of you
(3) we want to follow Postman's call to listen to students.
There seemed to be little doubt that, from the point of view of the students, these questions made much more sense than the ones they usually have to memorize the right answers to in school.
We invite you to make a list of 10 or 15 videos and websites that you respect.
We teachers will compile a similar list. Below is our list. Your lists will appear in the VOICES blog as individual posts.
