Video presentation from a teacher who is engaged in new learning technologies attempting to motivate other teachers by sharing some of her stories. Shelly Terrell tells how her parents were able to use education to break out of one generational cycle and enter a new one. "When we go to college we have a chance of getting out of poverty," she says. " believe that Newcastle is definitely a mecca for innovative teaching, especially with technology. It was Gateshead that helped Dr. Sugata Mitra with his Hole in the Wall experiments. Simon Finch was really great in getting me to see the way mobile learning and elearning is improving education in Newcastle." Nice video. I didn't intend to watch the full 15 minute presentation, but I did.
