Ghandi – Welcome to My Desk

Posted by Adrian on Jul-8-09
ghandi Hi All,

Tonight I’d like to take the opportunity to welcome Mahatma Ghandi to my desk. Mahatma is the 7th Oddfellow to join me in my workspace.

So why do you keep inviting these guys to your desk Adrian?

1. These people led inspirational lives. Maybe we can learn a little from them.

2. Reality TV mostly makes heroes of people with little talent of worth to humanity. How do we as teachers counter that?

3. To get my students asking questions about historical figures and what it is that caused them to live ‘beyond their generation’.

cheers

Adrian

Plus I’m really glad a magnificent ‘Pommie basher’  join me during The Ashes :-)

  1. Steu Said,

    Inspiration is good for me too. :-)

    I enjoy reading your blog. It has given me some insight about teaching and I think other teachers will benefit from what you are writing.

    I have added it to my education portal at http://www.educationreporting.com/#blogs

    Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for your ideas and thoughts.
