The Animal School
Here's a heartbreaking video called The Animal School. A nice promo from www.raisingsmallsouls.com about how all learners are unique. Maybe it'll even convince me that learning styles do exist!Labels: education, learning, learning and teaching, online writing school

Season of Inspiration online creative writing course
Just putting final touches to our Season of Inspiration online writing course that starts October 6th. I love teaching these courses as online spaces are really brilliant for writing workshops and students respond well to one another. We use Moodle of course. And we have another set of brilliant exciting materials - well they encourage me to write anyway. This time both Sharon and I are well and raring to go!
A few places still left for anyone who'd like to join us :)Season of Inspiration is back again with our trademark supportive, friendly, online writing community and all-new inspiration!
Yet again we will be dipping into a variety of sources of inspiration, from nature to music to landscape. From mesostic poems to mystery stories, there’ll be formats and genres to experiment with. We aim to provide inspiration for writing that’ll see you through the rest of 2008. We offer support, exercises and creative bolstering.
Come whether you’re bursting with ideas to try out or whether you want to rediscover your creativity. Designed so that you can work at your own level (whether you’re starting out as a writer or seeking inspiration for your next publication) with the support and encouragement of a writing community and two tutors. This is the online equivalent of a writers’ workshop, not a lonely self-study course. Students are welcome from anywhere in the world (the course is run in English).
