Stop Stealing Dreams
The economy has changed, probably forever. School hasn’t.
Everyone asks “What do you think we ought to do about education
?” Seth Godin responds by asking “What is school for?”
I regard Seth Godin as one of the most passionate and brilliant thinkers of our time. His manifesto ‘Stop Stealing Dreams‘ is dedicated to every teacher who cares enough to change the system, and to every student brave enough to stand up and speak up.
I urge you to click the link below, download his manifesto, and start thinking about what is possible.

As Seth says.. “…Ultimately, our future belongs to a generation that decides to be passionate about learning and shipping (ie creating and producing), and great teachers are the foundation for that…”
And when you’re done, come back here and add a comment, share your ideas….

End Of Year Gifts
In the spirit of Xmas, here are three gifts I’d like to pass onto you.
I have received so much value from each of these three resources during the year, I feel compelled to share them with you too (the first two are free):
Seth Godin’s Blog – Seth is a brilliant thinker. I receive his short blog every day, and it’s always one of the first things I read. I think he’s one of the world’s most brilliant entrepreneurial thinkers, and pushes me to enter my “stretch zone” to be remarkable all the time. Click HERE to subscribe to Seth’s free blog today.
TED (Technology, Entertainment & Design) – This site is all about ideas worth spreading. If you like to be inspired, gob-smacked and down-right moved, then drop into this site on a regular occasion. It’s free and features only the best people and thinkers in their fields.
Spark: The Revolutionary New Science Of Exercise & The Brain (John Ratey) – If you’re interested in how physical activity and play are related to developing more effective learners (think students), then you MUST get this book. I heard John give an address in Boston a few months ago, and there was a standing ovation. We need to hear and heed John’s message. If you live in Australia or New Zealand, you can get his book ‘Spark’ by clicking this link and entering the discount code “Inspire.”
Happy holidays everyone!
PS: See you in the new year, when I launch an exciting NEW initiative – the ultimate on-line resource of games and activities that inspire groups to play, trust and learn!
