What many educators often forget is that reading and writing, although they have enjoyed primacy for hundreds of years, are very artificial ways to communicate, store and retrieve information," he says.

Prensky argues that only 10 per cent to 20 per cent of people in any society are highly literate and points out that YouTube already hosts more video content than was produced in the entire history of broadcast television, including millions of how-to videos that show, not tell.

Tenured Faculty Less Likely to Focus on Teaching - 0 views
-
Researchers found that the few who focus primarily on teaching tend to share certain characteristics - including teaching without tenure.
-
A recent study by the University of Michigan on the work experiences of non-tenure track faculty found that one of their most common reasons for entering the profession was 'a love of teaching.'
-
Nevertheless, academic culture seems to prioritize research over teaching. Graduate assistants teaching undergraduate classrooms with hundreds of students and infamous practices like 'publish or perish' all point to a system designed to sacrifice quality instruction for research pursuits. As Boyer argued back in 1990, academia and its students would be better served by treating instruction as an equally valuable pursuit.

Learning Theory (wikipedia) - 0 views
-
In psychology and education, learning is commonly defined as a process that brings together cognitive, emotional, and environmental influences and experiences for acquiring, enhancing, or making changes in one's knowledge, skills, values, and world views (Illeris, 2000; Ormorod, 1995). Learning as a process focuses on what happens when the learning takes place. Explanations of what happens constitute learning theories. A learning theory is an attempt to describe how people and animals learn, thereby helping us understand the inherently complex process of learning. Learning theories have two chief values according to Hill (2002). One is in providing us with vocabulary and a conceptual framework for interpreting the examples of learning that we observe. The other is in suggesting where to look for solutions to practical problems. The theories do not give us solutions, but they do direct our attention to those variables that are crucial in finding solutions. There are three main categories or philosophical frameworks under which learning theories fall: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Behaviorism focuses only on the objectively observable aspects of learning. Cognitive theories look beyond behavior to explain brain-based learning. And constructivism views learning as a process in which the learner actively constructs or builds new ideas or concepts.

-
Fook and +Askeland (2007) explore the benefits of critical reflections. They point out that reflection is an intentional practice of exploring underlying assumptions in thought processes, for the purpose of achieving growth. They explain that this practice is useful for an individual to be able to understand their own thinking, and gain better insight into what drives their behaviors.

...Like Maslow, Rogers believes that, if left to their own devices, animals will tend to eat and drink things that are good for them, and consume them in balanced proportions. Babies, too, seem to want and like what they need. Somewhere along the line, however, we have created an environment for ourselves that is significantly different from the one in which we evolved. In this new environment are such things as refined sugar, flour, butter, chocolate, and so on, that our ancestors in Africa never knew. These things have flavors that appeal to our organismic valuing -- yet do not serve our actualization well. Over millions of years, we may evolve to find brocolli more satisfying than cheesecake -- but by then, it'll be way too late for you and me...

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.

What Google transcribedWhat I actually said now that grand central has become cool voice i thought i would be a good idea to review it and the best way to do that would be to test it out bye doing a little voicemail message and then leading school voice transcribe it for me so here's a chance to see how accurate it really is but they're a part of the site the really do about meNow that Grand Central has become Google Voice I thought it would be a good idea to review it and the best way to do that would be to test it out by doing a little voicemail message and then letting Google Voice transcribe it for me. So here's a chance to see how accurate it really is. But there are parts of the site that really do bug me. I tried to speak distinctly. I didn't want to make it harder for the system than it needed to be. Still, Google didn't recognize Google! The end of the message reads as if it was just made up! An earlier message from an auto body shop was even more garbled--though the all-important phone number made it through intact. Obviously, this is quite an achievement, but is it useful if it's only close? Advisedly--yes.
