Tone Cools Us Down While Stress Heats Us Up, Especially in Busy or Demanding Seasons
A neural-inspired invitation to breathe, diffuse, and rediscover joy this winter There are days when life ambushes us with a quick jolt of chaos. Recently it arrived disguised as an OVERDUE PAYMENT notice from a wireless company whose so-called free trial I had used briefly, returned promptly, and trusted would...

An Inspirational Shift for Deeper Understanding in Difficult Times Some days it feels as if the world is wired for conflict. We watch leaders lock into gridlock, teams fracture over small misunderstandings, and families tense up over opposing views that nobody intended to weaponize. Yet neurobiology offers a different story,... Read more »Neurobiology Rewires Us for a Brighter and Joy-Packed Holiday Season!
As the holiday season approaches, whatever name, faith, or tradition we give it, we face a universal invitation to dream again. Some of us step into this season with sparkling anticipation. Others approach it tenderly, because celebrations that lift many hearts can also dim dreams, stir grief, or remind us... Read more »Twenty Questions to a Stress-Free Mindset
Possibility thinking rewires our brains for stress-free calm, courage, and grace to thrive, in spite of daily challenges. We live in a world where stress hides behind good intentions, quick comments, tight timelines, and the belief that we must keep going no matter what. Stress often slips into our lives...

A challenge or possibility for those of us who seek a faith that breathes, grows, and embraces. Belief is often born quietly, an intuition of a higher presence, a whisper of meaning, a sense that life is held by more than chance. Yet belief is not meant to stay small... Read more »Aloha!

So good to hear from you. I just set up the Classroom 2.0 page yesterday! I am also working on a Netvibes page, http://www.netvibes.com/anneshaw#21st_Century_Schools
And am updating/starting Facebook, Diigo, Delicious .
How are you, and what's going on in Hawaii and in your world?
Skype me anytime! :-) dobrien917
I just attended the CR2.0 workshop in Sacramento. Steve says we really should connect. :) Things should slow down a bit soon. How are 2Think2Learn and homeschool2.0 going?
Good to be connected! I hope what we're doing at NextVista.org will be valuable to homeschoolers where you are. Is that your focus now?
Take care,
Rushton
Thanks for your note. I'll be leaving soon for CUE, so things have been really busy at work. Let's connect in a week or two. I'd love to discuss a few ideas. Take care!
Sharing the resorces is fine and I have e-mailed you a more complete list of the web sites we provide for educators.
The PDF file for whatever: School v2.0 is quite large (12Mb) and some systems struggle with this size file but I will send that via e-mail ad see how we go.

It has indeed have been a while, I am now halfway through completing the fifth of five texts which we have been writing of the last two years. Over 1000 A4 pages later . . . We are almost there. The idea being to provide a complete framework for school version 2.0/classroom 2.0. The outline for the five texts are below along with their schedules.
We seem to have a systemic failure in the web site and the tech team who manage this are looking at that this morning. I will put in todays mail the PDF of the first text "Whatever: School Version 2.0" on a CD. Can you provide me with the mailing address for this. If it turns out to be quick fix the know what the muddy with the instructions to complete the download. All the best and if I am passing through I will call in! Much of our time is in Australia at the moment trying to work with them to sort out their education system as well as keeping the home fires burning. All the best with your work there.
I am currently developing a series of texts around the theme of “Whatever” and the disengagement of learners and the new requirements 21st century is placing on teaching and learning practices. The texts are:
1. Whatever!: School Version 2.0
The philosophical and theoretical framework which underpins the transformation to school version 2.0 (350pp 500 references 100 diagrams)
Status: completed and available from www.schoolv2.net
2. Whatever Next!: The Conceptual Curriculum
The global conceptual scaffold mapping the conceptual development of each of the competencies as well as each of the learning areas (320pp 80 references 30 diagrams)
Status: completed and available from www.schoolv2.net
3. Whatever!: Were We Thinking?
If we are to truly understand learning we need to understand how the mind works and how people think. This text provides that up to date review of our current knowledge of brain processes and the implications that this has for the development of teaching and learning practices (125pp 240 references 35 diagrams)
Status: completion date June 2009
4. Whatever After!: A Synopsis of Current Thinking
The philosophical and theoretical framework which underpins the transformation to school version 2.0 (50pp 120 references 40 diagrams)
Status: completed and will be available as an introduction to a multi-author production in conjunction with the University of Ohio available by year end 2009
5. Whatever!: Should Parents be Thinking?
A magazine style (25pp) approach to be given out to parents to explain the transformational changes that are taking place within schools.
Status: to be completed for the beginning of 2010
