  • The first job of a teacher is to make the student fall in love with the subject.

  • the teacher has a duty to engage, to create romance that can transform apathy into interest, and, if a teacher does her job well, a sort of transference of enthusiasm from teacher to student takes place.
  • “If you don’t have both astonishment and content, you have either a technical exercise or you have a lecture.”

  • Teller’s educational philosophy is rooted in the philosopher A.N. Whitehead’s “rhythm of education,” a theory that asserts learning happens in three stages: romance, precision, and generalization.
  • Romance, argued Teller, precedes all else.
  • What I have, however, is delight. I get excited about things. That is at the root of what you want out of a teacher; a delight in what the subject is, in the operation. That’s what affects students.”
  • It’s easy to disregard the entertainment of your students as pandering, but it’s not, Teller stressed, citing Frances Ferguson’s The Idea of a Theater: The Art of Drama in Changing Perspective. “In the art that lasts, there’s always a balance: purpose that is action, passion that is feelings, and perception that is intellectual content. In Shakespeare, for example, there is always a level that is just action, showbiz. There is always a level that's strongly passionate, and there’s always a level that’s got intellectual content.”
  • Learning, like magic, should make people uncomfortable, because neither are passive acts. Elaborating on the analogy, he continued, “Magic doesn’t wash over you like a gentle, reassuring lullaby. In magic, what you see comes into conflict with what you know, and that discomfort creates a kind of energy and a spark that is extremely exciting. That level of participation that magic brings from you by making you uncomfortable is a very good thing.”
  • When I go outside at night and look up at the stars, the feeling that I get is not comfort. The feeling that I get is a kind of delicious discomfort at knowing that there is so much out there that I do not understand and the joy in recognizing that there is enormous mystery, which is not a comfortable thing. This, I think, is the principal gift of education.

shared by Åke Nygren on 21 Jun 14 - No Cached
  • Connected learning is a type of learning that integrates personal interest, peer relationships, and achievement in academic, civic, or career-relevant areas.[1] In addition, connected learning is an approach to educational reform keyed to the abundance of information and social connection brought about by networked and digital media. Advocates of connected learning posit that this approach leverages new media to broaden access to opportunity and meaningful learning experiences.
  • The connected learning model suggests that youth learn best when: they are interested in what they are learning; they have peers and mentors who share these interests; and their learning is directed toward opportunity and recognition

The Job Market for MBAs is About to Take a Hit - Walter Frick - Harvard Business Review - 0 views

    The decline in demand for MBA's coupled with the overly optimistic interest in STEM is symptomatic of a bigger problem which is the fragmentation of business disciplines and the latent need for a new School of Innovation at universities that would be a professional school similar to law and medicine to educate a new group of leaders who are innovators. Innovators are T-shaped people with broad knowledge in STEM, marketing, finance, law, and operations and deep knowledge and experience in at least one discipline. Innovators learn a new fourth generation (4G) of innovation theory and practice that includes upgrades in disciplines such as finance to measure intangible capital that drives innovation more than tangible capital, upgrades in marketing to more effectively discover latent market opportunities with analytic big data insights tested with experiential intervention experiments, upgrades in entrepreneurship that operates inside an existing company, and the skilled capability to create and operate innovation hubs such as the new Department of Energy innovation hubs required to transform industries with radical innovation governed by new dominant designs. The 21st century is the Age of Innovation and we need innovation to be a new professional discipline supported by new Schools of Innovation and a career path in companies leading to the Chief Innovation Officer, which was first defined in the 1998 book, Fourth Generation R&D.

  • What is rigorous, then, is not process but our curious examination of the (unforeseen, unexpected) results and their effectiveness.
  • Engaged: Meaningful work
  • Better that we model our passion to know something thoroughly than to merely transmit content or knowledge.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Curious: A rigorous curiosity underpins the most fruitful work scholars do.
  • Dynamic
  • a series of iterative experiments.
  • a resolution to the inquiry
  • Derivative
  • attentive and alive, responsive
  • Critical: We can’t be afraid to critique our own circumstances, our own context.
  • Cormier suggests rhizomatic education — constructing and negotiating community knowledge through a series of interdependent nodes — as a pedagogical solution within quickly changing fields of information. In other words, by connecting to each other, no matter our expertise or station, knowledge grows.
  • We may provide the content, but this is no different today than scattering LEGOs on a table: what happens next is not up to us
  • from a traditional model of schooling to one more compatible with the realities of the digital landscape. Experimentation, inquiry, and play are both the research tools we must use to create online and hybrid classrooms, and also the methodologies best employed within those classrooms.
  • Testing and canonical content are less vital to the new media landscape than interactivity, play, and relevant application.
  • that students “show up,” be curious, collaborate, and contribute.
  • The digital has reminded us that learning happens unexpectedly, and so should our approach to learning be unexpectant. We must return play to education, to pedagogy, and to all scholarly practice.
  • Field Notes for 21st Century Literacies: This book was produced by graduate students in a course with Cathy N. Davidson. The text of the work is itself rigorous, but what we find most intensely rigorous is the way the reader is brought into the book’s ongoing creation through simultaneous publishing on communal platforms like Rap Genius, HASTAC, GitHub, and Google Docs.

    Here at "The Digital Arts Experience" we have a huge focus on connected learning in a non-competitive, hands-on, collaborative environment. I'd like to share with you a blog entry that our audio engineer, Emily, wrote up about the Connected Learning 'Experience' that students will have on a typical day at our learning facility. I welcome comments/feedback!
