Edutopia

Edible schoolyard is about just that an edible schoolyard or garden where the kids learn to plant crops. they also learn to cook, be on a team and water plants among other things.
global village video is on a global realization project. This program raises awareness of hunger and diversity throughout the world. the done in perryvill Arkansas on the heifer ranch. it is run basically like a kid survivor.

I believe that these videos hello me as a teacher by just giving me ideas of how there are so many different ways to teach. It gives me a goal of finding a new better way to teach that people have not found yet. kids learn all kinds of different ways and we should use all of the resources and try all kinds of different things in our pursuit of knowledge.

Also these videos raised a valuable point. global and environmental issues are very important to teach children and are often over looked. I remember as i was going through school i never was taught the things that theses kids are learning and to this day don't know some of this stuff. educators should take this in to account and try to at least introduce children to new things on a regular bases even if they will not be able to implement them all the time.
