21st Century Learning and Teaching

SO, you are a retired EDUcator, TEACHer, Instructor, LEHRENDER: WHAT to do NOW?!! Well, that was the question I was asking myself when I became retired in 2014. As I did innovation in Modern-EDUcation in my country Luxembourg, there was NO WAY to give that up, BTW! SO, years before my retirement I…

Avec les nouveaux modèles d’enseignement, tous les équilibres, tous les codes sont remis en cause. Au sens strict du terme, il n’y a plus d’enseignant, pas de cours, pas de programme, rien que des cas concrets à résoudre en trouvant soi-même la solution ou en s’associant à d’autres élèves. Cette pédagogie met l’accent sur le comportement, les capacités à travailler à plusieurs et à apprendre très vite en autonomie.

Pour Romain Martin, vice-recteur pour les affaires académiques de l’Université du Luxembourg, «la principale erreur consiste à se focaliser sur les technologies elles-mêmes. Il ne faut pas simplement regarder l’outil, mais comment ces outils sont utilisés.» Une désacralisation des technologies pourtant au cœur des enjeux, au profit d’une démarche pédagogique nouvelle. La tendance est ainsi à l’«adaptive learning».

As most of you know already, I am an autodidact, a person who is learning on its own. I can choose WHAT to learn, WHEN to learn, in WHICH order I learn the different topics and HOW quick I will learn! AND especially WHERE I will learn; not necessary in a school, BUT online and from books!

That is what makes me learning very quick and to understand it also! As I am getting asked very often (people are astonished about…), so I decided to write this blog post to give some TIPS...

How-To transform an LCD1602 SPI Sketch to an LCD1602 I2C Sketch We were already playing around, as seen on my tutorials below, with the Temperature/Humidity sensors DHT11, DHT22 and LCD1602, without I2C possibility. There were a lot of cables to connect, we will try out this time to use a LCD with I2C bus connection as it…

SO, as I got my new Super Starter Kit UNO R3 Project I am playing around a bit with it. In my previous post WE were wiring and testing a LCD-Display and coding to display a bit text on the LCD. That was actually very easy, so lets try out now some “Sensors“, e.g. a Temperature/Humidity Sensor and a Ultrasonic Sensor to measure distances. The measured values of those sensors will get displayed on the LCD-Display.

The author "Gust MEES" has given courses about ICT in EDUcation and to the public willing to learn about the use of computers and the internet (youth, adults and seniors) up from 2002! The courses were given on a "Face To Face", individual "coaching" where "Teambuilding" occured and was welcome as well...

There was NO time limit for the learners, those WHO needed MORE time as others to understand the given course(s) were coached till THEY understood it, while (at the same time) the OTHERS helped on place AND through the internet with THEIR collaboration till the whole class was ready. Meanwhile while THOSE WHO understood it got NEW stuff to learn as well...

SO... Learners were students and teachers at the same time and THEY enjoyed learning, teaching and discovering NEW stuff...
