Concrete examples don't help students learn math, study finds - 0 views

  • However, the true test came later when the researchers asked these students to apply the same principles in a totally different setting

      Another true test might be how well the teacher could apply the same principles in a totally different setting.
  •  
    Could it be that part of the problem be that the teachers who attempt to teach with "real world" concrete examples have never had any real world concrete experience. 12 years of school followed by 4-5 years of undergrad, now you are a teacher, teach about the real world. hmmm

Computers for Peace: The $100 Laptop | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Critics of one-to-one laptop programs in the United States say the computers facilitate more in-class distraction (instant messaging, MySpace, and so on) than learning, that they allow children access to inappropriate content, and that the benefits of constant access are so far unproven. Do you share those concerns? We do not share those concerns, but that is not to say they are not real issues. Our kids in Cambodia learn English using chat and MySpace. Children are distracted if the teaching is not interesting. One education minister just said to us, about the $100 laptop, "Finally, education will include learning."

    I like Negroponte's response to critics of one-to-one laptop programs in the United States which say the computers facilitate more in-class distraction. Basically, "children are distracted if the teaching is not interesting".

    All tutors have years of tutoring experience, are experts in the subjects they teach and have passed government background checks. ... I'm interested if tutors/mentors/coaches are SA only ... and will enquire later. Also interested if other similar programs exist. Thanks for the 'heads up'

Computer self-learning Experiment in India "Hole-in-the-Wall" - 0 views

  • In an amazing experiment a Delhi-based IT professional has proved that kids can learn computer skills on their own. Over the years the results of Dr. Mitra’s experiments have been so spectacular that the National Geographic Channel has made a film on his unique research.
  • Again, to his surprise he discovered that the slum kids quickly taught themselves how to surf the Internet, read news and download games and music. Dr. Mitra then replicated the experiment in other locations, with the same results---within hours the children would teach themselves how to use the Net.
