What do rap shows, barbershop banter and Sunday services have in common? As Christopher Emdin says, they all hold the secret magic to enthrall and teach at the same time — and it’s a skill we often don't teach to educators. The science advocate (and cofounder of Science Genius B.A.T.T.L.E.S. with the GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan) offers a vision to make the classroom come alive.

Coding isn’t just for computer whizzes, says Mitch Resnick of MIT Media Lab -- it’s for everyone. In a fun, demo-filled talk Resnick outlines the benefits of teaching kids to code, so they can do more than just “read” new technologies -- but also create them. (Filmed at TEDxBeaconStreet.)

Daphne Koller is enticing top universities to put their most intriguing courses online for free -- not just as a service, but as a way to research how people learn.

A great idea: educated people showing compassion, and a shotglass more than the usual amount of daring. Putting classes online for free, and using them for research to study how learning works, helps everyone. At the time of this video there were 43 courses available. Hopefully now there's more.

This is great idea of how to use free online courses-other than just for PR or community service.

Cuidado con trivializar el tema de la falta de atención o dispersión en los chicos. El TDAH no existe como trastorno, poco antes de morir su "descubridor", el Dr. León Eisenberg, reconoció que el TDAH era una enfermedad ficticia inventada por él. Pero hay una cultura de la distracción que es innegable y que no es un "nuevo modo cognitivo".

Interesting site about young kids that have taken technology beyond the classroom and excelled. Would be great to show to a class to show what all technology can do and teach you. |
