Published 2012 "Circles Disturbed brings together important thinkers in mathematics, history, and philosophy to explore the relationship between mathematics and narrative. The book's title recalls the last words of the great Greek mathematician Archimedes before he was slain by a Roman soldier--"Don't disturb my circles"--words that seem to refer to two radically different concerns: that of the practical person living in the concrete world of reality, and that of the theoretician lost in a world of abstraction."
Flipping a classroom is not a teaching technique, it is more in line with a philosophy or way of teaching. It involves using technology as a tool, not the main focus, for helping students increase their understanding of science or math concepts.
The Symphony of Science is a musical project headed by John Boswell designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form. Here you can watch music videos, download songs, read lyrics and find links relating to the messages conveyed by the music.
Abstract: "The purpose of this study is to propose a design principle and framework of
educational control (in particular, method for collaborative learning support) that induces
and activates interaction between learners intentionally to create a learning opportunity that
is based on the knowledge understanding model of each learner. In this paper, we explain the
design philosophy and the framework of our game-based learning environment (GBLE)
called "Who becomes the king in the country of mathematics?". In addition, we describe the
method of collaborative learning support control that incorporates a "learner support agent"
to support each learner and a "game control agent" to control the game into the learning
environment."
