Brainware: How to Succeed with Failure - 1 views

  • Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure — or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that's where you will find success.
  •  
    Please don't think that I am trying to set any of you up for failure in this class. I don't anticipate any of my students failing (except those who don't try... and they have already failed...). Rather, think of what this site has to offer regarding making mistakes. Many of you have been afraid to write for fear of making mistakes. I would suggest that you try to double the rate at which you are making mistakes in writing...:)

Blogger in Middle-earth: The Ubiquitous Question - a reflection on learning - 1 views

  • I gained the respect of my teachers, probably because of this attribute of asking questions, for I certainly wasn’t a model student.
  • Good teachers admire learners who ask pertinent questions.
  • Asking a question offers a teacher the opportunity to fulfil that so-often-difficult-to-attain goal of the pedagogue. The goal is to teach relevantly. While it’s true that learners tend to engage more in learning when they interact during a ‘lesson’, I’m not so sure that speaking up or even asking a question is necessarily exclusive for learning to occur.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • I’m not entirely opposed to the suggestion that questioning is a way to learn. Nor am I questioning the idea that learners will learn nothing if they don’t ask questions. My hunch is that questions are asked in the mind all the time. The trick of learning relevantly lies in asking the right questions.

Why Writer's Block is Your Secret Weapon | Copyblogger - 0 views

  • When you work it right, writer’s block is your secret weapon to becoming a better and more resilient writer. And when your ability to write is what pays the bills, that’s gold.
  • face the fear that any act of writing brings.
  • use writer’s block as a signal to stop and reflect on what you fear and why, because if you don’t acknowledge the fear, you’ll never be able to face it. All it takes to move through fear is facing it, feeling it. Saying to yourself, “Okay, this is scary. But it still needs to be done.”
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Take a blank sheet of paper and write down a one-line summary of what you think you’re supposed to be writing.
  • Write down all the ideas and opinions about that topic
  • put that page aside because that’s not the one that’s going to turn your block into a weapon. (In fact, it’s the one that will keep you stuck.)
  • Get another blank sheet of paper. Again, write down what you think you should be writing in the center of the page.
  • Dig deep into what you have to say, what you think, and what your opinion is, stripped away from all of those from the first sheet. Put it all out on the page, and take more pages if you need to. Remember, there is no one to judge you and your task is to write without any reference to the ideas or opinions from that first sheet, but write only from within you.
  • Each time you unblock yourself by writing despite your fears, it builds confidence. You realize, “Hey, I’ve got a lot to say! And I’ve got a unique position!”
  • You teach yourself that even though your job requires you to write to and for other people, you’re really doing it for yourself
  • To be a resilient and fierce writer, you need to write despite your fears. And you need signals, such as writer’s block, to help uncover your fears so you can face them.
  •  
    For those of you who find the writing for this class too much to handle: Read this; read it several times; try to follow it's advice.

Gender Mainstreaming in Poverty Eradication and the Millennium Development Goals - 1 views

  • Chapter 1 provides a brief history of the changing policy discourse and the processes that led to the greater visibility of both poverty reduction and gender equality
  • Chapter 2 charts the gradual evolution of macroeconomic analysis from its earlier gender-blindness to current attempts to make it more gender aware.
  • Chapter 3 sketches out an ‘institutional framework’ for the analysis of gender inequality within the economy and explores its variation across the world.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Chapter 4 turns to a more detailed examination of the relationship between gender inequality and poverty at regional and national levels, drawing on findings from three different approaches to poverty analysis: the poverty line approach; the capabilities approach (using human development indicators); and participatory poverty assessments.
  • Women’s role as economic actors – and its critical importance to the livelihoods of the poor across the world – is considered in Chapter 5.
  • Chapter 6 focuses on the human development concerns of the MDGs.
  • Chapter 7 reinforces the critical importance of certain resources to women’s capacity to exercise agency, but this time focuses on forms of agency that are in the interests of women themselves – in other words, those that serve the goals of women’s empowerment and gender justice.
  • The final chapter (Chapter 8) attempts to draw out the implications of the relationship between gender equality and pro-poor growth for policy efforts to achieve the MDGs.
  • Millennium Development Goal (MDG) on poverty eradication.
  •  
    poverty is my main topics for my essays. so i think this is interesting to me
  •  
    "In September 2000, at the United Nations Millennium Summit, 189 governments across the world made a commitment to take collective responsibility for halving world poverty by 2015."
  •  
    So far, one of the few countries making progress on-track to achieve this goal is (surprisingly) Bangladesh (cited in Yunus, Mohammad. _Creating a World Without Poverty_)

Blogger in Middle-earth: One Voice? A post for bloggers - 1 views

  • What sort of voice do you use when you write a blog post? Do you have an informal or personal tone to your writing? Or do you prefer the more formal structured approaches?
  • Bryson is a journalist. Yet even for me, twice a Science graduate, his ‘voice’ immediately captures my interest in the Science he writes about. He speaks as if he is talking with me, not talking directly at me.
  • Is there a single genre that is appropriate to writing blog posts?Or should the genre be selected according to the topic of the post? Could genre be chosen to address a particular target group within the readership of the blog?
  •  
    This is a resource to help you think about how formal students want their public blog to be.
