Students and teachers alike have been brought up in an educational system that mimics an antiquated job market. The teacher is the boss, managing the work of his student workers who have to produce goods that meet approval, he said. But many people fear that system no longer serves students headed toward a less certain future, one that could necessitate that a student be able to define and create her own job.

"As California teachers begin to strategize about how to meet the Common Core standards, some educators say that explicit instruction in social and emotional competence – teaching students how to regulate their emotions, problem-solve, and disagree respectfully, among other abilities – should be a key part of the equation. The ability to collaborate, to see others’ perspectives, and to persevere in solving problems is required of students in the Common Core. Social and emotional learning provides the interpersonal skills students need to perform these intellectual tasks, said Nancy Markowitz, an education professor and director of the Collaborative for Reaching and Teaching the Whole Child at San Jose State University."

"Visual content is a guaranteed winner for eLearning because it’s a people magnet. Visual representations can simplify complex information in a way that attracts attention and is easy-to-consume. As an eLearning developer, seek opportunities where you can include images and graphics to achieve your learning objectives." Via EDTC@UTB
Roxana Marachi, PhD's insight:
Cognitive science supports the use of visualization and mental imagery as powerful encoding strategies for learning and memory. The recommendations in this article for "e-learning" may well be argued to be equally valuable for educators to consider in parallel brick and mortar, person-to-person learning enrvironments as well.
