    I was even more intrigued when he made reference to the work of Bernard Suits that claims there are three constituent parts that make up games: To play a game is to attempt to achieve a specific state of affairs [prelusory goal], using only means permitted by rules [lusory means], where the rules prohibit use of more efficient in favour of less efficient means [constitutive rules], and where the rules are accepted just because they make possible such activity [lusory attitude].

  • Or another one: teachers have repeatedly been found to dislike students who show curiosity and creative thought, even though creativity is held as an important goal of education.
  • If you’re a student whose teacher constantly thwarts you when you try to do something your own way, you may not have the stamina of M.I.T.’s founders—especially if you come across such resistance at an early age.
  • Instead, you may fInd yourself traIned to stop your creative thoughts before they are fully formed, lest you get In trouble for voicIng somethIng that is “wrong.

      Kristen and Khamal. I think that this could be very useful. If not gives you a few ideas on how to create an Audio book. There are even some reading comprehension for upper primary. We could just subscribe via a school itunes library and have it access by all the new macbooks in the class room. You could use one macbook as sort of a listening post.

  • four to eleven periods each week taking classes in art, music, cooking, carpentry, metalwork, and textiles. These classes provide natural venues for learning math and science, nurture critical cooperative skills, and implicitly cultivate respect for people who make their living working with their hands.

    This is a great article outlining the success of the Finnish education system. They don't standardise test, they don't track or target teach, they have smaller class sizes, train, educate and pay their teachers better. Dah!! That's why they top the Programme for international Student Assessment (PISA) results. What's happening in Australia???

  • Projects are typically framed with open-ended questions that drive students to investigate, do research, or construct their own solutions.
  • How can we reduce our school's carbon footprint? How safe is our water? What can we do to protect a special place or species?
  • How do we measure the impact of disasters? Students use technology tools much as professionals do -- to communicate, collaborate, conduct research, analyze, create, and publish their own work for authentic audiences. Instead of writIng book reports, for Instance, students In a literature project might produce audio reviews of books, post them on a blog, and Invite responses from a partner class In another city or country.
