Apparently a little engineering know-how and a lot of free time is all it takes to turn what was previously sci-fi fantasy into real-world reality. Japan's Sakakibara Kikai has created a mechanical suit, not unlike the one worn by Sigourney Weaver's character Ellen Ripley in the film Aliens.
While the feat of engineering is impressive, the fact that is specifically designed for children to use makes every single Christmas gift ever given pale in comparison.
As reported by CNet, the suit, dubbed the Kid's Walker Cyclops, is "an 800-pound, 7-foot-tall drivable mecha suit with a cockpit and moving arms. The front of the machine opens to become a ladder to the cockpit. As seen in the vid below, one hand has a hook to grapple foes and the other has a power drill to smite obstacles. The weapons are controlled by rotating the handles in the cockpit, which has room for one child. The battery-operated mecha has wheels under its feet but moves in a shuffling motion."

It's no secret in the education world that gifted education training is not a priority for new teachers. In teacher preparation programs, if preservice teachers receive any kind of training, it's generally short discussions or readings in their existing education courses (Chamberlin and Chamberlin, 2010). As Troxclair (2013) writes, "[h]istorically, preservice teachers have had little exposure in their teacher training programs regarding the nature and needs of gifted learners, theories of...

When an aspiring fighter visits a boxing gym, the potential coach does not start teaching him or her all the techniques. The first thing a wise coach will do is say, "get in the ring and show me what you got." The coach will carefully examine what the fighter can already do, then design a training regimen to build upon those strengths.
I'm interested in taking a similar strength-based approach with the emerging teachers I work with each week. I want to know what natural...

Dr. Carter G. Woodson organized a two-week period in February 1926 to highlight contributions of African Americans. In 1976, the month of February was established as Black History Month. The month of February was selected because it was the month in which both Frederick Douglass (abolitionist) and Abraham Lincoln (president who...

Groundhog Day is February 2nd. It's a time when people look to a groundhog to find out whether or not we will be having six more weeks of winter. The idea dates back hundreds of years when people looked to hibernating animals such as badgers, hedgehogs and bears to see when they might wake up from their winter sleep.
According to the tradition, if the animal saw its...
One of the activities my students (pre-service teachers) said they appreciated the most was providing them with an array of discussion/sharing out strategies that they could use with their own elementary students. What I really shared were protocols, many I had learned from my own professors, which could be easily adopted for various lessons and content.
Many came from the National School Reform Faculty's web...
