At the Future of Learning institute this held at Harvard University we asked participants to consider the learner of the future. As part of the process to design a new school vision, mission and learning principles, learners from my school kindly shared their thoughts in response to this concept. I wonder how these connect with perspectives from learners around the world? I would welcome some comments that could stretch the minds of the young people in this video.  .

Currently I am reading ‘Creating Innovators’ by Tony Wagner which was a gift from Rod Rock, a good friend, talented educator, thinker and leader. Other than being a thought provoking book it also uses  a Microsoft Tag app for readers to access video content. If you are interested in contributing to a research project exploring innovative learning and teaching practices then you may wish to take a look at http://www.itlresearch.com/. I am wondering what other influential books those who are interested in education are currently reading? Also how much time are teachers and school leaders giving to professional reading?
