METU EDS 544

It is really an interesting study.

President of Institute of Humane Education give a talk. Web page of the institute: http://www.humaneeducation.org/ From their web site: Humane education includes 4 elements: Providing accurate information (so we have the knowledge to face challenges); Fostering the 3C's: curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking (so we have the tools to meet challenges); Instilling the 3R's: reverence, respect, and responsibility (so we have the motivation to confront challenges); Offering positive choices and tools for problem solving (so we will be able to solve challenges).

in another talk about humanistic education ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxvMqhxt-SI ) the speaker gave credit to this talk so I wanted to share it with you.

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

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 :)

TEGV and ilk-yar topluluğu in METU have been sharing the nearly same vision with what Kiran Bir Sethi is doing. They are quietly helping not only children but families and community.

Sinem, do you have any resources on TEGV and METU that you can share with us? I want to learn more about the project.

I found this website while looking at Dr. Ana Paula Correia's several work. The website includes lots of technologies that can be used for educational purposes. It looks like an inventory that you can use for enriching your education with technology. One suggestion is that explanation for each technology should be increased, and the website might have several links for tutorials and etc.

Erdem, Thanks for sharing. We are going to do a similar website (wiki) in the class that I will be teaching next semester, with your suggestions taken into considerations of course.

An helpful site which includes all strategies about implications of humanism in classroom.

Will use this resource for next week's class.

You can find here a clear and brief example of task analysis. It is useful for instructors in our class..:D

I liked the structure of the task analysis example here. Everything is clear:))

I think it is better than the classical lesson plans.

This is a website where online lectures from universities such as Stanford and Harvard can be found and watched for free. there are lectures on different courses., I find it really useful):

Also check some other videos on new kinds of schools. Perhaps some connections can be made to the humanism week.

Pinker, talking about his famous book. I recommend reading the book.

As written, it is open all for the stakeholders to evaluate this draft.

A text that I found while searching for something else. It was fun to read it.

This will be one of the readings for the Humanism week
