This is an online course for educators who want to understand how their students learn by helping them connect brain research into classroom practice. This course sheds light on some current issues related to neuroscience. I recommend you have a look at it :)
This article reports on a case of a research study that investigates the possibility of expanding Egyptian pre-service EFL student teachers' language-related literacy practices by integrating some web-based new literacies into their education programme.
This is an event organized by Learning by Design in Massachusetts, AK-12 architecture and design education program. The event is called Kids Build and the students are expected to build the whole city from ground to up. They engage family members and kids together to have them understand the importance of design. It is all realistic because they have to get building permit, get inspected, in short all the processes to build a structure. They are provided with materials and they are urged to get ideas from each other. You should see this video! :)
This video is about fire dancing and the people who are telling their intrinsic motivation for it. I found it quiet interesting because it includes most elements of flow theory. First of all, they have clear goals in every step. Also, they enjoy what they are doing and they get constant feedback. They have awareness and to be succesful they should not be distracted. The sense of time becomes distorted for them. I remember watching a fire dancing show in Barcelona and I was really surprised seeing people playing with fire so creatively. They were so immersed that they did not care anything happening around them. Now, it becomes more meaningful for me :) they were in a state of flow.
