A friend of mine has been in Finland as a teacher. I will share the anecdote she told us. While she was in her first weeks, she gave homework since it is holiday tomorrow, I think she exaggerated the giving homework. Classroom teacher came near to her and said Seçil, what are you doing? Tomorrow is holiday, they need to rest. That's why I am very interested in.

Sinem, thanks for sharing. This is also another related article on Finnish Educational system http://www.oecd.org/pisa/pisaproducts/46581035.pdf

Another video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwD1v73O4VI

This is video is generally about the time perception of people and its effects on human life. The first five minutes give background info, then it talks about the effects of time perception on educational processes. I found it very interesting, I hope will, too.

There are so many interesting metaphors. I liked them. The associations between educational concepts and time perception are very interesting in this video.

Here is an interesting video for the essence of humanistic approach with a small introduction of a book "First the Child, Then Curriculum" by Donna Allender, a humanist teacher.

I was gonna share the same video but I doubted reposting it. Here you are :) "Today, I don't wanna learn RED, I wanna learn YELLOW" maybe explains little bit about humanistic learning :)

Some useful explanations and examples for humanistic environment in a school regarding curriculum, methods and facilities

Burcu, thank you for sharing. I must confess that I did not understand the difference between humanism and neo humanism:). They seemed almost the same to me. In the movie, children are running in the environment, observing the world, helping people, establishing love and trust with peers and etc. And their ages are small. I support the idea that small children should be made aware of their uniqueness. However, when they grow up, we will have to show them science, math, history and etc. The bulk of knowledge in the world and in our education might unable school to continue humanism in education. Actually, it means that especially for higher graders, we should use humanism as an element in classrooms, not a whole teaching strategy since as wee from the video, creating humanistic classroom is not feasible at all and may not be affordable for higher number of students. In the video they said that firstly they "choose" students. It means that, it is a private school. For private school, one can create almost % 100 percent humanistic environment. However, in public schools, teachers have to integrate humanistic elements into predetermined educational environments.

Funny idea about how to show the main principles of Humanistic Education. The Good will always wins :)

This is another film about education. In this Turkish film, a western teacher goes to an eastern (kurdish) village to teach 1,2,3,4,5th grades together. It will surely provoke you to think about education in Turkey as well as daily lives of eastern people.

I have watched this film and I was really influenced, Thank your giving it as an example for us.

I also watched the movie couple times. Very touching and forces us to think about the current situation that teachers face in Eastern part of Turkey. Thanks for sharing.

an real example from Korea

What I also find interesting is, somebody watching the video asked questions to the teacher in the video about working in Korea as a teacher. The power of social media!!

it is an unforgettable lesson both st.s and teacher

Here is my constructivist environment example. In the past, I installed the second life software considering that it was a game. I roamed and roamed in worlds that already were created, chatted with people in another countries with my avatar. Then I thought that it was boring. It was just like sitting on Sunshine and talking with friends. Why I had to do this via my computer? This video shows us how Second Life Worlds can be used to create constructivist learning environments. In the video, a Second Life World that was prepared by a group of people called TELLS TEAM is presented. In this world, you can attend lectures, have group meetings for discussion, work on simulations and role plays whereever you are. All participants including the teacher has an avatar and walking, sitting, chatting as if they were in the same room. In this project, learners are active participants. They roam, talk, immediately can fly to role playing sessions and etc. Teacher is only responsible to present initial knowledge. I could not find how they evaluate the learners. However, it is up to you. This environment is just a tool. You can arrange your role plays, your simulations, and also your assesment. Also they have some guides to use the environment effectively on this web site: https://sites.google.com/site/secondlifeuwnshss/Home

It is a high school which has learner centered curriculum and also multiple intellegences is the corncern of this school especially visiual and artistic component of the theory. Interdisciplinary and vertically integrated curriculum was prepared. You can see a pure example of this curriculum.

I could not find anything to say about my purpose while sharing this video. The only think that I can say is that I liked and could not help sharing it :)

An exemplary z book application.Looks amazing. I must confess that we are far behind in our z-books in Fatih project. 

here is the mentioned Asch's video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYIh4MkcfJA I have seen it before in one my psychology students' presentation. At that time, I found this very surprising and it helped me become more suspicious of how students affect each other during interactive activities.

I just liked this video :) You will see that technology is integrated into nearly all lessons like physics, physical education and even history.

This is another explanatory video for technology integration with the aim of engaged, motivated students, interactive classrooms and better academic outcomes.

It is a video about stimulus for teacher education especially in terms of preventing burnout

Hi everyone, Watch and enjoy it..:D

The interaction between the student and the teacher should be manipulated according to the content of the lesson, objectives, materials and instruments as shown in the video. Making the class more engaging requires effective conversation and good communication between the teacher and student.

Great video for classroom management lessons. :)

This is a good way forcreating active learning enviroment. Also it includes more alternatives like individual or group working. But it seems good for small class size.

A paleontologist man who is committed to the theory of evolution like a religion and a modern hippie woman who believes in all kinds of weird spiritual staff arguing about evolution. One of the best parts of the tv show Friends.
