Making A [Blog] Contribution – Two Years On

Today is our second anniversary. 3D Eye began on WordPress at 11.00am on 11.11.11.

We’d like to say thanks to all of our readers, ‘followers’, leaders, commenters, collaborators, co-creators, critics and friends.

Our 10 most-read posts have been:

1. Rearranging The Deckchairs

2. Outcome of the PSHE Education Review

3. Seasonal Values – For Every Season: Perseverance

4. Stirring the Emotions

5. Good Will Hunting and Multiple Intelligences

6. Mr Gove, Stop it!

7. Explaining the Finnish Miracle – In Teachers We Trust

8. Return to Singapore

9. The Future of Education – in Finland and Elsewhere

10. Photo Blog – Anish Kapoor’s Orbit – Olympic Park – Public Art

These posts are a fair selection of the subjects we like to cover – the need to reinvent education for the current century; PSHE; values and wellbeing, purposes & aims in education; emotional literacy & emotional intelligence; the governance and politics of education; multiple intelligences, international perspectives in education; the arts.

Assuming an average blog post length of 1400 words (yes we know – far too long) and a total of 444 posts (including this one) we find we’ve posted 621,600 words. We look forward to our millionth published word – hopefully around this time next year.

Our aim here is to make a contribution to the ongoing debates about what makes a good society, healthy citizens, and good systems of education. We believe we all have a responsibility to add our individual and collective voices to the national and international conversations about the most important aspects of our lives. Please join in.
