"These students have been conditioned since kindergarten to evaluate their performance. Anything they do, they're comparing to their friends and even competing with their friends," Svoboda said. "When you come in here, you don't have to do that." "

enjoyment of learning can be a flow state - Demetri Orlando

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

The second way to enhance motivation is to make children aware of how much fun learning can be. This strategy is preferable on many counts.

Information-rich and attention-poor - The Globe and Mail

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:42:02 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

hundreds of thousands of Web-empowered volunteers are able to very efficiently dedicate small slices of their discretionary time, the traditional experts – professors, journalists, authors and filmmakers – need to be compensated for their effort, since expertise is what they have to sell.

With almost all of the world's codified knowledge at your fingertips, why should you spend increasingly scarce attention loading up your own mind just in case you may some day need this particular fact or concept? Far better, one might argue, to access efficiently what you need, when you need it. This depends, of course, on building up a sufficient internalized structure of concepts to be able to link with the online store of knowledge. How to teach this is perhaps the greatest challenge and opportunity facing educators in the 21st century.

Interesting parallels to be drawn on why leadership needs to be using web2.0 tools

Comments:

Interesting parallels to be drawn on why leadership needs to be using web2.0 tools - Demetri Orlando

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Today’s world requires a different leadership style — moving more into a collaboration and teamwork, including learning how to use Web 2.0 technologies.

“John, if you don’t do it our company won’t learn how to do this. It won’t be built into our DNA for the way we interface with customers, our employees. The top has to walk the talk.” I was expecting text blogging and we did video blogging.

By the second one, I realized this was going to transform communications — not just for the C.E.O., but it would change how we do business.
