Designing An Infographic
Some great tips for designing infographics:
Keep it simple! Don’t try to do too much in one picture.
Decide on a colour scheme.
Research some great facts and statistics.
Think of it as a visual essay: ensure your arguments hold and are relevant.
Remember that it’s all about quickly conveying the meaning behind complex data.
Draw conclusions.
Reference your facts in the infographic.
Include your URL so people can be sure who made it.
In Math You Have to Remember... - 5 views

It's not that people cannot think mathematically. It's that they have enormous trouble doing it in a de-contextualized, abstract setting.

absent any clear evidence as to how best to proceed, the majority of teachers quite understandably default to more or less the same teaching methods that they themselves experienced. Overwhelmingly that is the traditional method, though the fact that no one has been able to make this approach work (for the majority of students) in three-thousand years does make some wonder if there is a better way.
-
the majority of claims made about the efficacy of various pedagogies are based on nothing more than an extrapolation from personal experience (of the teacher, not the student)

The US ranks much worse than most of our economic competitors in the mathematics performance of high school students. Many attempts have been made to improve this dismal performance, but none have worked. To my mind (and I am by no means alone in thinking this), the reason is clear. Those attempts have all focused on improving basic math skills. In contrast, the emphasis should be elsewhere.

Jeg skulle gjerne ha gjort mye flere prosjekter/utforsking/åpne oppgaver osv. Men jeg er redd for eksamen. Dessuten - mange lærere tør ikke å innrømme at de knytter seg opp til boka- jeg må ha mye mer støtte fra en bok før jeg har TID (og peil) til å sette i gang)

D-roms and exam papers are handed out together. This is the Danish language exam. One of the teachers stands in front of the class and explains the rules. She tells the candidates they can use the internet to answer any of the four questions. They can access any site they like, even Facebook, but they cannot message each other or email anyone outside the classroom

The Danish government says if the internet is so much a part of daily life, it should be included in the classroom and in examinations.

"The main precaution is that we trust them. I think the cheat rate is very low because the consequences of cheating are very big."

Shocker: Empathy Dropped 40% in College Students Since 2000 | Psychology Today - 1 views
-
While it so obviously measures empathy that you could easily game it to make yourself look kinder and nicer, the fact that today's college students don't even feel compelled to do that suggests that the study is measuring something real. If young people don't even care about seeming uncaring, something is seriously wrong.

Though social media is an improvement on passive TV viewing and can sometimes aid real friendships, it is still less rich than face to face interaction. This is especially important for the youngest children whose brains are absorbing social information that will shape the way they connect for the rest of their lives.
-
Perhaps an even larger factor is the merging of the left's "do your own thing" individualism with the right's glorification of brutal competition and unfettered markets. You wind up with a society that teaches kids that "you're on your own" and that helping others is for suckers.
