    Remember, Remember the Fifth of November… Guy Fawkes Day

    Remember Remember the 5th of November…
    Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
    The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
    I know of* no reason
    Why the Gunpowder Treason
    Should ever be forgot.
    Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
    To blow up the King and Parli’ment.
    Three-score barrels of powder below
    To prove old England’s overthrow;
    By God’s providence he was catch’d
    With a dark lantern and burning match.
    Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
    Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!

    Also remember: “People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.”

    Happy Guy Fawkes Day.

  • #TEDTuesday – Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution!

    Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution! | Video on TED.com.

    As many of you know, I’ve been doing some courses at Athabasca University. One of the assignments has given me new drive to do the #TEDTuesday feature once again, and I’ve found a great focus in Education and Technology specifically. I know these are two of the three letters that are TED, but really, I’m showing where they meet and how they change the way we learn… and teach.

    Here once again is the infamous Sir Ken Robinson. A great storyteller, very entertaining and extremely inspiring.
