Thinking Together, University of Cambridge - 3 views

  •  
    Prof Neil Mercer spoke at the NIE conference in Singapore (Jun 2013) Inspiring talk - with quite a simple message: (paraphrasing) Humans are social beings - brains have evolved to work well with others. However, group work has to be well planned and involve 'exploratory talk' if it is going to make a difference.

    Hi John, can't see the Prof's talk here? Only the Thinking article? Peter

    Hi Peter - here is a link to the presentation he gave. Unfortunately I don't have a transcript of the actual talk. http://sdrv.ms/1dHFxa7

    Hmmm, yes, very interesting. I also see increasing evidence that the brain isn't the all controlling factor we have assumed it to be ... where is the mind? The heart certainly plays a far more important role in our operations than we thought.

      This has some useful references to Digital Literacy, but is significantly concerned with the ICT curriculum and its failure to deliver graduates with the right skills for the future.

Overwhelming support for foreign languages plan - In the news - 2 views

    • neilturrell
       
      ...and I thought this quite relevant in the context of the discussions David and I have had about languages in the recent past.  The interesting question is about what will make way in the curriculum for the introduction of the statutory language?  It also prompts the strategic question of what we might do, if anything, in response to Dulwich's clear marketing of Mandarin in the primary sector.
  • Overwhelming support for foreign languages plan

    I have a déjà vu feeling .... Primary French? Let's hope appropriate resources and training are made available!

      I came across this when I was looking for some stuff at the DfE site.  I know that Geraldine and her colleagues will be at the leading edge on this, but I wondered if the new framework was of any additional interest to the Infants?

      Share this with Steve and his team. 
  • This has been an incredible journey and I’m so excited to see where it takes us. While redefining what teaching and learning looks like in the 21st century isn’t an easy journey, it’s one well worth taking. Not only have I had the opportunity to observe students engaged with their learning to a degree never before observed, I’m seeing teachers engaged and motivated with their craft to a degree never before witnessed. I’ve never seen anything that can have this impact on both students and teaches at the same time. It is certainly an exciting time to be in education!
