Doug Johnson is great.  I love his sense of humour and this list of t-shirt slogans is fabulous.

Some of my favourites:

“to err is human, to arr is pirate”

“For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.”

“Books – the original laptop.”

“They say I have A.D.D. but they just don’t understand. Oh Look! A chicken!”

“Mirror, mirror on the wall… What the **^&%^&% happened?”

“Education bridges the gap between your ears.”

“With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.”

“If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain whales?”

I used to keep a list like this in the back of my planbook of funny sayings, supposed report comments and things.  Just for the end of ‘those’ days.  We all need to laugh a lot more!

Life is NOT a dress rehearsal, lets make it fun while it lasts.

Have a good weekend!!

(oh and add any more gems in the comments!!)

well I thought it was funny ….

another great TED talk.

CORE have produced this series of videos looking at key issues in education.  I like this one from Sharon Freisen looks at the difference between Inquiry as a disposition and Inquiry as a Teaching Strategy.  This is a fundamental difference!

ALL those in the school need to be Inquirers and Learners.  Sometimes this will be together and sometimes it is more focused on teacher professional learning.

… thanks Jane for the link!

I am sure that this is photoshoped - but how often is this a sentiment we express?

The Silent generation, people born before 1946.

The Baby Boomers, people born between 1946 and 1959.

Generation X, people born between 1960 and 1979.

Generation Y, people born between 1980 and 1995.

Why do we call the last one generation Y? I did not know, but a caricaturist explains it eloquently below…Learned something new!

A good one to share with kids about the power of viral advertising and urban myths?

This video:

… is doing the rounds at the moment and at face value is pretty scary. I certainly wouldn’t want a device that could do this in my pocket or close to my head.
But … hold on … a quick look shows to was produced by these guys who make bluetooth headsets. This blog has heaps of comments that link to the original site too. Good to show the importance of reading just that bit further
YouTube has a variety of vids from people who have actually given it a go too:
