  • Food and grocery stores definitely plays an important role in this community. There were also an unexpected amount of African art and music stores. I think diaspora communities like this have a lot of meeting and community aid establishments to help immigrants navigate the American system of living.

      Very insightful contextual analysis
  • I honestly didn’t see too many advertisements outside of the West African diaspora context. The ads that I did see were not billboards or real advertisements. There were mostly posters or small signs showcasing the sales in each of the stores.
  • As a native New Yorker, who grew up in an Indian diaspora community, I felt like a lot of the sights resonated with my childhood.  And to make things even more familair, I lived in Niger for a few months and did feel a certain connection to the area.

  • I also didn’t see that many women walking around, it was mostly men who were hanging around local hot spots. The women that I did see, were going somewhere specific and not really hanging out outside.

  • We have math teachers doing online skill-based type of things and online quizzes,” Robinson said. Students use a site called, Glogster where they create digital posters, and upload photos and music for reports.

      Pretty low-level use for math... there are so many more powerful things that laptops could be used for.
  • Having laptops means all students can do the same quality report, regardless of their parents' income, “because they all have the same tools,”
  • We tried filtering. It's a losing battle,” Robinson said. “There's always a way around it. Now our approach is teaching responsibility.”

  • many brilliant, talented young people are dropping out of high school because they see high school as implicilty "college prep" and they cannot imagine anything more dreary than spending four more years bored in a classroom when they could be out actually experiencing and perfecting their skills in the trades, the skills, and the careers that inspire them.
  • The abolishing of art, music, physical education, tech training, and shop from grade schools and high schools means that the requirement for excellence has shrunk more and more right at the time when creativity, imagination, dexterity, adaptability to change, technical know-how, and all the rest require more not less diversity.

  • There are so many viable and important and skilled professions that cannot be outsourced to either an exploitative Third World sweat shop or to a computer, that require face-to-face presence, and a bucketload of skills--but that  do not require a college education:  the full range of IT workers, web designers, body workers (ie deep tissue massage), yoga and pilates instructors, fitness educators, DJ's, hair dressers, retail workers, food industry professionals, entertainers,  entertainment industry professionals, construction workers, dancers, artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, landscapers, nanny's, elder-care professionals, nurses's aids, dog trainers, cosmetologists, athletes, sales people, fashion designers, novelists, poets, furniture makers, book keepers, sound engineers, inn keepers, wedding planners, stylists, photographers, auto mechanics, and on and on.

    In general, I agree. However, novelists and poets don't need college?? And perhaps less so to artists and musicians? Perhaps... but what better way to learn the history and analysis of their Art, in order to place their own work in context?
  • Peg Mahon on 10 Aug 11
     
    I could not agree more with you Maureen. As a long time middle school teacher in Oakland and Mpls I am thoroughly convinced that our nation and our states are nuts to have cut all of the tech and arts classes out of elementary, middle and high schools. EVERY student should learn a trade/skill set in high school. The hs drop out rate is horrifying and no surprise that the crime rate follows. We have a nation of under achieving teens because the adults have not kept up with funding the myriad of opportunities that would capture and harness their interests and creativity. I look forward to reading your book Maureen and to following you on here.

  • How do we understand our gifts without the certificate, the diploma?   That's the challenge.  
  • And, sadly, much of our formal education is about standardizing exactly
  • that shift, in teaching that kindergarten child who believes she can do absolutely anything that, no, she's a poor reader, or bad in math, or a poor speller, or a poor artist or has no musical talent (as my husband was once told when he was a child:

  • la región perisilviana izquierda tiene funciones neurolingüísticas y su disfunción ocasiona trastornos disléxicos o el área hipocámpica de ambos hemisferios tiene relación con la memoria a largo plazo y su alteración origina trastornos mnésicos, el síndrome de disfunción hemisférica derecha provoca síntomas discalcúlicos y disgrafía, así como alteraciones conductuales, cuya expresión más grave entra en el espectro autista (sistema límbico, región orbitofrontal).
  • Los estudios de neuroimagen permitieron constatar que el cerebro de un lector normal y el de una persona con dislexia difieren en sus patrones de actividad eléctrica y en la estructura cerebral. Se observó que, durante la lectura, la región parieto-temporal y la porción inferior y posterior de la región témporo-occipital se activan de manera diferente, siendo disfuncional en los disléxicos. El área de asociación auditiva donde se procesan los fonemas se activa con menor fuerza en los disléxicos, razón por la cual se cree que se ponen en funcionamiento otros circuitos cerebrales compensatorios en las áreas de la corteza visual para poder decodificar el lenguaje escrito. Todo ello incide desfavorablemente en la velocidad de procesamiento de la información escrita y en su retención. Asimismo, se detectó una reducción de la asimetría del lóbulo frontotemporal característica del cerebro normal (comúnmente está más desarrollado el lado izquierdo) lo cual influiría en el procesamiento del lenguaje.
  • ¿Es posible que las nuevas tecnologías estén forzando la aparición de nuevas formas cognitivas? Está claro actualmente que el ambiente regula la expresión genética, y que de esta interacción única surge la conducta humana. Esto explica la singularidad del ser humano, y la imposibilidad de que existan dos personas iguales.

  • Según las Neurociencias, ¿es válida la antinomia constructivismo/conductismo, o estamos frente a dos mecanismos igualmente eficientes, pero aplicables a diferentes tipos de aprendizaje? Las neurociencias han aportado evidencias sobre qué ocurre en el cerebro durante el aprendizaje pero aun no se sabe exactamente cómo ocurre el aprendizaje y cuál es el efecto de las distintas prácticas pedagógicas en el funcionamiento cerebral de los niños. Sí se sabe que el aprendizaje se relaciona con un cambio en las conexiones sinápticas de las neuronas o de un grupo de neuronas específico, y/o con la generación de nuevas sinapsis, que se originan como una respuesta a cambios internos al cerebro y/o a los provenientes del entorno. No existiría una única manera de aprender del cerebro sino que los mecanismos y las áreas cerebrales implicadas difieren de acuerdo con el tipo de información o conocimiento que tengamos que adquirir. No es lo mismo aprender a leer que aprender a sumar y restar, y tampoco lo es el aprender fechas históricas precisas, la tabla periódica, una técnica deportiva o a tocar un instrumento musical. Intervienen distintas regiones cerebrales y se almacenan en diferentes sistemas de memoria. Es por ello que los métodos de enseñanza deberían diferenciarse también según el contenido de que se trate.
  • Es necesario continuar construyendo puentes de entendimiento entre los investigadores y clínicos que se dedican a las neurociencias cognitivas y los profesionales de la educación a fin de que los hallazgos de las investigaciones puedan traducirse en un lenguaje accesible y en prácticas concretas para el ámbito escolar.
