      This is what Steve Jobs did with Apple. Making the complex seem simple resides in the realm of many great innovators.
  • Einstein once said, “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.”
  • foster creativity by allowing self-expression and having students pick their own topics

  • Allow time for play. Creating a positive learning environment is just as important as teaching basic skills.
  • Laughter is said to increase white blood cells and neurotransmitters for memory and alertness
  • Find out about your students interests. Getting to know your students on a personal level can help understand their motivation.
  • Allow students time to “get in the flow”.
  • After all is said and done, teaching is a mix of science and art.
  • Creating opportunities for students to take part in greater community events allows them to have a purpose to use their imagination and skills. Studies by Rosenthal and Jacobsen suggest that a positive, stimulating environment, where learning is present, can actually support connections in the brain and enhance memory.
  • Allow time for your own learning.
  • As Einstein once said, “Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.”

    "Video is the way that we, increasingly, communicate stories, news, information and even ideas to one another. It's powerful because it often transcends barriers of language and of culture. It is universal and powerful. It drives everything from politics to religion, and much in between"

      This is a handy feature. Being able to aggregate notes is a step up from just leaving them on the page where they were made. The video and article mentioned publishing for free. I presume they are referring to iPublisher (iBooks Author). What they don't mention is that each book stays with the account owner, meaning that in a school setting the book belongs to the student. Sounds good, but when the student finishes the class, he still owns the book and the school can't use it for the next student coming in. Gives the book a very short usable shelf-life.
