This comedian doesn't just get laughs; he uses stand-up as a platform for discussing important social issues and to foster greater cultural understanding. His big goal is to break stereotypical perspectives of Muslims and show that "there are good people everywhere." Here is another of his entertaining and education TED talks. Tags: Middle East, TED, globalization, culture, Islam.

Humor ??? The most important in life !! Can somebody imagine the everyday, Hard, Dangerous, Tedious, Blunt and Dul life without HUMOR ??? Ask the Jews people !!! The Humour, the Inteligent one, helped them living thru the hardest time to conquer, and to survive, and to remain still as "Israel", one of the Happyest Country. So, is Humor Important ?????

Thanks to John, David and Wise Leader! Great scoop.
From the article:
Develop Awareness– Great leaders are self aware, organizationally aware, culturally aware, contextually aware, and emotionally aware. They value listening, engaging, observing, and learning over pontificating. They value sensitivity over insensitivity and humility over hubris. Leaders who come across as if they know everything haven’t fooled anyone – except themselves. Delete the scoop?

"Most classrooms have bulletin boards. It’s where teachers put up exemplary work – often ten or twenty versions of the same project. And many teachers hang up projects in the hallways. We do that too, but does it go far enough? What if students and teachers treated their school as a living gallery and made more deliberate attempts to curate the school?"

Omien laitteiden tuominen mukaan opetukseen lienee ainoa realistinen vaihtoehto toteuttaa opetuksen transformaatio ei-digitaalisesta digitaaliseen. Yksi luokallinen iPadejä maksaa noin 15 000 euroa, 10 luokallista jo 150 000 euroa. Android -tabletteja saisi murto-osalla tästä hinnasta, mutta koulut haluavat parasta. Lisää investointeja merkitsevät luokkien varustaminen langattomilla verkoilla ja älytaulujen/vuorovaikutteisten videotykkien asentaminen. Langattomat verkot kannattaisi varmaankin alun alkaen tehdä teollisuusstandardien mukaan, eikä yrittää selviytyä heppoisilla kotiverkkoviritelmillä. Rahaa palaa myös oppimsiympäristöihin ja ohjelmiin. Pelkillä iPad appseilla ei transformaatiota viedä läpi. Olen yrittänyt myös lanseerata käsitystäni, että vielä näitäkin investointeja isompia kustannuksia tulee koulujen työorganisaation kehittämisestä digitaalisen oppimisen vaatimusten tasolle. Yleensä tämä on se kohta uudistuksissa, jossa Suomessa mättää pahiten. Oppirahat tulevat sitä kalliimmiksi, mitä myöhemmin tosiasiat tunnustetaan.

Omien havaintojeni mukaan älypuhelimet alkavat ilmaantua oppilaille neljännen luokan aikana. Viidennellä niitä löytyy lähes kaikilta. Koteihin on ilmoitettu, että puhelimia käytetään ajoittain opiskelussa, mutta pakko ei ole (omien laitteiden käytöstä opiskelussa kun ei kaiketi ole vielä yhteisiä menettelytapoja esim. korvaustilanteissa). Jos jollain ei ole kännykkää, niin yleensä kaksikin mielellään jakaa saman laitteen. Olen säästänyt omat vanhat kännykät, jotta saan nekin oppilaiden käyttöön ja aika ajoin esittelen vanhempien kännykkämallien hienouksia, jotta luokassa ei synny painetta ostaa uusimpia malleja. Maasto-opiskelussa olen voinut jakaa oman kännykkäni nettiyhteyden muutamille oppilaille, jotta heille ei synny verkkokustannuksia. Näistä esimerkeistä tosiaankin näkee, että pienillä mennään. Suuressa koulussamme ei ole yhtään tablettia, yksi ATK-luokka ja pari ns. ATK-kärryä.

Every company’s culture is inherently different. So when you’re cultivating innovation, you’re cultivating a unique system. Which means you have to be thoughtful about your approach. Whatever you do, it should align with the values of the company and with the company’s goals. And in each case, you have to make it easy and rewarding for the people whose roles and dynamics influence the very innovation culture you’re trying to cultivate. Delete the scoop?

What if instead of giving homework to our students we asked them to come up with ideas? This chart provides a variety of alternative ways to look at homework. The post describes this as "Rather than simply a list of alternatives to homework, it instead contextualizes the need for work at home (or, “homework”). It does this by taking typical classroom situations–the introduction of new material, demonstrating a procedure, etc.), and offering alternatives to traditional homework assignments." Consider asking your students what they would suggest doing instead of homework. What might you be able to add to these suggestions?

Would a person with good handwriting, spelling and grammar and instant recall of multiplication tables be considered a better candidate for a job than, say, one who knows how to configure a peer-to-peer network of devices, set up an organisation-wide Google calendar and find out where the most reliable sources of venture capital are, I wonder? The former set of skills are taught in schools, the latter are not. We have a romantic attachment to skills from the past. Longhand multiplication of numbers using paper and pencil is considered a worthy intellectual achievement. Using a mobile phone to multiply is not. But to the people who invented it, longhand multiplication was just a convenient technology. I don't think they attached any other emotions to it. We do, and it is still taught as a celebration of the human intellect. The algorithms that make Google possible are not taught to children. Instead, they are told: "Google is full of junk."
