Peace, AUSTRALIAN styleThis past winter I took a course on spirituality in education. The professor, John Miller is an expert in holistic education. As teachers we can tend to focus only student academics and only manage behaviours when they become disruptive. Holistic education, asks us to look at the whole child. It requires teachers to care and nurture students emotions, well-being, passions as well as their academic achievements. Taking care of a student's emotional well-being will often result in a happier classroom. WIth students acting more responsibly and with increased focus. Teaching meditation is one way to help to nurture your student's well-being, and I think there just might be a free app for that.

a touch of classAs Google's reach continues to grow, I'm finding it hard to dislike any of their educational programs. I'd never heard of Google Arts and Culture before.

This program might help bridge the gap.
