Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution! - 0 views
-
I want to introduce Sir Ken Rabinson who is a British author, speaker, and international advisor on education in the arts to government, non-profits, education, and arts bodies. He was Director of The Arts in Schools Project (1985-89), Professor of Arts Education at the University of Warwick (1989-2001), and was knighted in 2003 for services to education. Here are interesting TED talks from Prof. Rabinson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9LelXa3U_I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG9CE55wbtY

I like watching his inspirational talks , I check the TED talks website for his new videos, he is such a creative person to me. His ideas are both very simply and impressively presented and the way he uses sense of humour is very successful.

We spook about Mishra in class and Evrim Hoca gave some information about him. .
Punya Mishra is a professor of educational technology and director of the Master of Arts in Educational Technology program. He is nationally and internationally recognized for his work on the theoretical, cognitive and social aspects related to the design and use of computer-based learning environments. He has worked extensively in the area of technology integration in teacher education which led to the development (in collaboration with M. J. Koehler) of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, which has been described as "the most significant advancement in the area of technology integration in the past 25 years." He has received over $4 million in grants, published over 45 articles and book chapters and edited two books. Dr. Mishra is an award-winning instructor who teaches courses at both the masters and doctoral levels in the areas of educational technology, design and creativity. He is a gifted, creative and engaging public speaker, having made multiple keynote and invited presentations for associations and conferences nationally and internationally.
My dream is to work with him and Ann Thompson and also taking TPACK badge.:)

We will read more about expertise. Some readings will be from Ericsson.

:) Does this mean that we will be experts about learning after about 417 days? (10000/24)

That could be a little bit irrelavant but as I am also a big fan of the importance of pratice while reading the article lines from the film, Pride and Prejudice came to my mind and it made me laugh. It could sound a bit meaningless if you haven't watched the film, but I will try to explain. Lady Catherine, the aunt of Mr.Darcy (main guy) tries to insult Elizabeth (main girl) by saying that "no excellence in music is to be acquired, without constant practice" when she could not play the piano well. Elizabeth took her revenge from Mr.Darcy when he said to her "he did not have the talent of conversing easily with people he had never met before" and Elizabeth replies that "Perhaps you should take your aunt's advice and practice?" :) As the article implies no one should never underestimate the power of practice. Even you can realize that you are doing better at something at your second or third time. Imagine that you are doing the same thing ten thousand time?

Dr Tallal was one of the scientists I discovered last week while searching for learning sciences. She is the director of a website where you can find her free webinars. I'm also adding the sites of her projects. http://www.scilearn.com/events/webinars/ http://www.readingassistant.com/ http://www.scilearn.com/products/

I was in Australia last year; it is a totally different culture and the issues they discuss about education and teaching are grately different from us. To stop bullying and discrimination, they plan to create a better school environment such as better changing rooms, toilet facilities, and mixed sporting teams. I will continue to share about educational news in Australia which may help us learn and keep an eye on a different culture.

İbrahim, I also think that having insights on how different countries approaches educational issues will be an important contribution to the course. Please do keep share these examples.

Yelda, I am really happy to meet such a study and really curious about reading this paper. As you know, I am interested in technology in education. Therefore, it will be my basic reading. Thanks for your sharing.

I would like to share the music especially for the ones who are interested in practices for meditation or relaxation. This is the one which is used by one of the professors, Alev Yemenici, who does research and gives seminars on brain-based learning. While you are listening, please do not forget to close your eyes, sit back, take a deep breath and imagine how you feel when you remember one of the good moments you had before. Annnddd let this feeling spread over your body...

Thanks for sharing this Hatice. As Afranur, I am in need of such useful sources. These really help for the design of lessons.

Beyond textbooks:) Actually if teachers are left alone in finding out brilliant applications and applying it would be no use. Now, we can register online platforms and share. Here, what is unique is that teachers search, gather to discuss, practice and discuss again. This is collaboration in real terms!
