Empathic Education: The Transformation of Learning in an Interconnected World - Comment... - 8 views

shared by Sandy Kluver on 20 Jul 11 - Cached
  • Learning becomes less about pounding facts into individual students' brains and more about how to think collaboratively and critically. To be effective, collaborative learning requires mutual respect among all the players involved, a willingness to listen to others' perspectives, being open to criticism and a desire to share knowledge, and being responsible for and accountable to the group as a whole.

      Powerful statement that includes being respectful to others. Lifelong learning skills!

    This article really drove home the idea again for changing our education system to adapt to the times. The factory system connection and the way different ideologies influenced our teaching is very powerful. We need to be setting critical thinking skills at the forefront of our objectives. We are looking for students to continue their life with a thirst of finding out more.

    The 21st-century child will be greatly influenced by events thousands of miles away because they have an immediate impact. Less than 80 years ago no one owned a TV and few people travelled more than 50 miles from the town in which they were born.

    Excellent article to remind me how fast technology has progressed in the last century. There are plenty of people that have witnessed all of the changes also.

    I like the idea that you have access to all of your revisions. Too often students revised something and it is not really better. They might want to go back to the original one but they do not have it saved. This way they can go back and see the progress they have made. It is also an easy way for others to help with editing.
