		<description><![CDATA[There is an upside to education having languished so long in the 20th Century.  It gives teachers a generous chance to exceed our students&#8217; expectations and make their learning experience worth talking about. Those teachers who embrace new media still have the chance to surprise their students.  The tools are simple and powerful for enhancing class dynamics, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=andrewdouch.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4336350&amp;post=1632&amp;subd=andrewdouch&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

As a science teacher, I would not allow my students to conduct an &#8216;experiment&#8217; involving chemicals that I hadn&#8217;t first trialled myself.  In that way I know exactly what is likely to happen.  This allows me to give instructions that will  minimise hazards and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=andrewdouch.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4336350&amp;post=1599&amp;subd=andrewdouch&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
