Another stimulating offering from TED talks. This one is given by Simon Baron Cohen – renowned developmental physchologist from Cambridge university. The video is not about drama per se. Rather, Baron Cohen gives us useful new way of thinking about how empathy works. I particularly enjoyed his distinction between cognitve and affective forms of empathy. […]

A lovely plan here as prepared and taught by Rebekah Whyte from Tauranga “Flicker the Penguin” was a Mantle of the Expert unit inspired by the Rena disaster. Children in Rebekah’s year 0-1 new entrant class learned about the impact of the disaster (which happened on their local beach) through their role as animal rescuers. […]

Check out this You Tube video from Peter O’Connor, which gives a very credible and well informed critique of Charter Schools in NZ. One to watch if you want to get yourself informed on this issue. “The dominant special character of such schools tends to be one of business entrepreneurship” Is this what we want? […]

Here’s a message on behalf of Auckland-based PhD student Claire Coleman. Claire is looking for someone (preferably local to her) whom she can observe teaching in Mantle as part of her PhD research. My understanding is that she would prefer a primary setting, where the teaching is fully cross-curricular, but a focussed secondary mantle would […]

Here’s an odd one….. A professorial lecture on Metaxis which is delivered in real world AND second life at the same time. I find it fascinating as the speaker Liz Falconer theorizes online learning and learning in general using just the same theoretical constructs as we use in drama research.
