Best?

Now that excessive information is at our fingertips all the time, our job is to find the best information.

• What is the best, most flexible mathematical/scientific model to teach a concept?
• What is the best film to convey a specific content?
• What are the best methods to learn important information?
• What is the best field experience to develop understanding?

In the old days, we were satisfied to find a film, model, method or field experience, but now with the world at our fingertips, it is our job to find the best available.

While many are scurrying to produce online content sites, models, virtual experiences and methods--teachers have the responsibility to be discerning consumers of information, the masters who utilize continual processes of identifying, then utilizing the best of what's out there to teach children well.

Then those same teachers must guide students' to discern and identify information too so that they  become masters of the information they choose to use, not servants of the companies that produce the information.
