Andrew Stanton: The clues to a great story | Video on TED.com - 1 views

  •  
    Pixar director Andrew Stanton's talk on what guides him as a storyteller parallels what we strive to do as educators: to inspire our audience's sense of wonder, challenge, and relatedness. "The audience," says Stanton, "actually wants to work for their meal. They just don't want to know that they're doing that." I'm not sure if storytelling is an apt metaphor for all learning situations, but I personally am inspired to look to storytellers for tips on how to connect with my learners.

    Andrew Stanton is also the brilliance behind "Finding Nemo" one of the better Pixar films. "Working for their meal" and the "2+2" notion relates to honoring people's intelligence and not making the story or lesson or video game too simple or the goal too obvious. Dr. Dede has said in the past that to engage students who struggle, we should give them more dificult conepts and make them accessible. Similar ideas.

Student Engagement and Motivation Tips - Why You MUST Engage Students - 0 views

  •  
    One of the most powerful classroom management strategies available to teachers is the provision of learning activities which actively engage students during the lesson. When students arrive at the lesson in a motivated state, eager to take part -- and then apply themselves to a given task - there is far less likelihood that their behaviour will become a problem. Like most teachers, you have probably tried a wide range of student engagement and motivation strategies to deal with disruptive students but if you are looking for a reliable SYSTEM which has been proven to raise motivation and engagement levels among the most uninterested, dispassionate learners, you'll love this video series. In this first video, Rob Plevin from Behaviour Needs Ltd explains two reasons WHY it is important to engage your students during lessons. There are hidden benefits to ensuring your students are motivated and engaged during learning activities -- as the video shows.

Technology a Top Priority in District 196 Schools - Rosemount, MN Patch - 0 views

  • y more engaged,” said Heier. “The engagement itself, hopefully, will increase student performance.” Funding for these undertakings comes from a variety of sources, said Jeff Solomon, director of finance and operations for the district. Until recently, one source was a financial pool provided to schools nationwide by the Microsoft corporation as the result of a lawsuit served as a revenue source. However, those funds are now drying up after several years of use. The district also receives $1.4 million per year from the capital projects levy, all of which is intended for technology-related purchases. The 10-year levy was voted into effect in 2004. Capital funds are another source of technology funding. These monies, which are issued annually, are provided by state aid and by local property taxes. The total capital funds budget is $10 million per year. However, only $140,000 is designated for administrative technology; another $1.2 million is also allocated to specific schools, where the revenue is often used to fund technology. Currently, the district’s primary technological priority is building a stronger, more consistent wireless connection, said Heier. This project is still in the early stages. The district is working with a consulting firm to design a network that will allow for further expansion. Heier said that in the future, the district would like to create an environment where students can bring their own devices to school, and where schools provide students with devices, such as laptops and tablets. The district will begin building the network in either summer or fall of 2012. Heier was unable to estimate an end date for the project, but said the district hopes to establish the network within two years. The wireless project is estimated to cost between $500,000 and $750,000, according to Heier. Funding for the network is currently being sourced from the capital project levy. At present, levy funds will not be available until after 2014-2015. However, the levy may be renewed through a community vote in 2014. Either way, it appears that high-tech efforts will continue to be a priority for District 196 in the foreseeable future. “It’s our world now,” said Berenz. “We don’t have the choice to not incorporate technology.” Related Topics: Capital Funds Project, Capital Revenue, District 196, Education, Jeff solomon, Rosemount-Apple Valley- Eagan School District, Superintendent Jane Berenz, Technology in classes, and classroom technology What do you think of technology in classrooms?

Seasons India :: Hair Care Tips - Healthy & Beautiful Hair - 0 views

  •  
    Okay, I'm only bookmarking this for those of you who are interested in how gaming may or may not be related to other cultures. This is an "Indian" on line magazine and to me, looks very typical of magazine articles I see when I go to Indian grocery stores or when I was in India (ten years ago). Notice the American faces showing how to care for Indian hair. My point is, pretty much anything acceptable here will be acceptable abroad. It's just not the India (or other country) that's shown on CNN or National Geographics. At least that's my opinion.
