  • Now it is the great proletarian cultural revolution, which was designed to transform 700 million Chinese into militant maoists. Both failed. And both left the country in an advanced condition of disruption, with the economy only partly functioning and the authority

    At this website you can see how visual learning is broken down, the complications, and the facets that learner needs.
  • Madison W on 26 Mar 10
     
    "Learning, for visual-spatial learners, takes place all at once, with large chunks of information grasped in intuitive leaps, rather than in the gradual accretion of isolated facts, small steps or habit patterns gained through practice. For example, they can learn all of the multiplication facts as a related set in a chart much easier and faster than memorizing each fact independently."

      Considering that the American school system is not in the financial shape to request high-tech alternatives to advancing student education, I feel that Learning Analytics is respectively irrelevant. Students should conform to their teachers style. This is pragmatic.

  • "The power of this is that we're going to go from a couple hundred dollars per year [for each textbook] to $10 or $20," said state Rep. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle, who sponsored legislation that set aside $750,000 for the initiative. It's a robust level of funding, experts say.
