Using Color to Evoke Reactions and Emotions - 0 views

  • Studies show that certain colors will generate different reactions from audience members.  For example, black promotes authority and strength, while blue conveys reliability and trustworthiness (which is why so many companies use it in their corporate logos).  Red excites people, prompting them to be more innovative and take more risks.  Orange demonstrates a combination of confidence and playfulness.  So, you’ll want to select colors carefully, based on the emotions you are seeking to evoke, or the perceptions you are trying to create.
  • While colors like red or purple can be rather effective in certain scenarios, when used too liberally, the presenter – and his or her delivery – can be viewed as overly aggressive.  The opposite is true for colors like white, gray, or pastels, which create a perception of passivity or weakness.  These colors should be used as highlight or accent colors only – as opposed to key colors within the presentation’s design.

  • A common format for blog posts and articles is to present a topic and then include some actionable steps at the end to help your reader apply their learning. Here are a few ways you might do this: Reflection: Ask your readers to ponder or consider the new idea or perspective you shared with them, and how they might integrate it into their lives. Journaling: Ask your readers to write about the topic. You can provide specific questions for them to answer, or invite them to ask and answer their own questions. Rehearsal: Ask your readers to practice a new behavior, habit, thought pattern or language. Suggest how many times per day or week they should do it, and in which specific situation(s). Action: Ask your readers to take a specific action or actions. Suggest how many times per day or week they should do it, and in which specific situation(s). Documenting: Ask your readers to keep track of their progress; give them a checklist to mark off their actions or ask them to record it in a journal. You may also ask them to keep track of their results, feelings or thoughts during this process. Reporting: Ask your readers to share their results with you, your community or an  accountability partner.

    "# Your ability to put yourself in the place of the reader, the person trying to use your instructions # Your ability to visualize the procedure in great detail and to capture that awareness on paper # Finally, your willingness to go that extra distance and test your instructions on the kind of person you wrote them for."

  • In 1956, George Miller reported that the “span of immediate memory” is limited to the magical number 7±2 items. From this, he deduced that the amount of information that could be processed at any one time could be increased by “chunking” it.
  • In 1977, Richard Anderson extended the work of earlier theorists such as Frederic Bartlett and Jean Piaget. His Schema Theory of Learning maintains that within long-term memory (or more specifically, declarative memory), knowledge is arranged in a hierarchical network of constructs called “schemas”.

      I have found that if I have the students first write a reflection, then work in a small group, that whole class discussiona are more productive.
  • For example, if students write their own thoughts on a topic (Dialogue with Self) before they engage in small group discussion (Dialogue with Others), the group discussion should be richer and more engaging. If they can do both of these and then observe the phenomena or action (Observation), the observation should be richer and again more engaging. Then, if this is followed by having the students engage in the action itself (Doing), they will have a better sense of what they need to do and what they need to learn during doing. Finally if, after Doing, the learners process this experience by writing about it (Dialogue with Self) and/or discussing it with others (Dialogue with Others), this will add further insight. Such a sequence of learning activities will give the teacher and learners the advantage of the Power of Interaction.

Democratic learning design theories

shared by Diane Gusa on 15 Jun 11 - No Cached
  • Democratic learning involves empowering students to control the direction of how exactly they reach an end-destination involving any subject to be learned. Democratic models employ various leaning strategies particular to the personality types and preferred learning styles making up a student body. For example, the anatomy of a democratic-learning environment involves three distinct themes: assigning a minimum amount of tests at the end of a predetermined time frame, transferring all responsibilities to students (individuals or groups) to learn everything needed to pass all required tests and implementing a self-driven or voting model allowing students to determine for themselves appropriate learning strategies. Furthermore, implementing true democratic voting models in learning environments both encourages and even forces group participation. For instance, the least active member is more inclined to participate than in non-democratic environments when realizing voting is required to bring about the most favorable learning circumstance for both himself and his group.

    I emphasize the phrase actively learning because I think some teachers might be relentless, too, but might use the word working instead.-food for thought are our activities more about work?
