In essence, McLuhan opened our minds to the role of technology and media by asking the right questions. He wanted to know how technology and media affect our minds, habits, society and culture. Late in his life he gave us, what in my opinion, is his most useful piece of work – the tetrad. His "tetrad" of four media laws tried to clarify the nature & impact of a technology or medium Via Nik Peachey Delete the scoop?

In a traditional classroom, the teacher is the center of attention, the owner of knowledge and information. Teachers often ask questions of their students to gauge comprehension, but it’s a passive model that relies on students to absorb information they need to reproduce on tests. What would happen if the roles were flipped and students asked the questions? Via Andrea Zeitz Delete the scoop?

For years, Finland has scored at the top of every category and has increasingly been held up as a model for educational reform. But, why? Producer Eric Bombicino explores Finland's unique education system.
"The Finnish system's success is built on the idea that: "less can be more." This may appear counter-intuitive to many within other educational systems in which standards and effectiveness are measured in standardised data and evidence trails. The absence of corrosive competition and an egalitarian ethos inherent in the Finnish culture has surely played a role in shaping this very impressive system." Via Ulla M. Saikku Delete the scoop?

Judy Willis, a neurologist & middle grades teacher, says adolescent brains learn more through interactive, interdependent group work. Did you know that "peer group influence plays an important developmental role in the psychosocial process of separation from parents"? What does this mean to teachers of middle school students? That "interactive, interdependent group work" helps middle school students "build happy, learning brains." This post will help you learn more about brain science, successful group work, how to plan for success, provides some researched-based guidelines and more. Via Beth Dichter Delete the scoop?

ESCROQUERIE SCIENTIFIQUE DU SIECLE ! Einstein a plagié la théorie de la relativité de Henri Poincaré#science #physique #plagiat #histoire #escroquerie
Henri Poincaré a publié la théorie de la relativité correctement et en détail bien avant qu'Einstein ne la plagie. Au même moment, Einstein travaillait dans un petit bureau de brevets. Tout le monde se demandait comment Einstein avait pu faire avec si peu de moyens pour développer sa propre théorie (1905 - the theory of special relativity*). Poincaré est mort en 1912. C'est en 1920, qu'Einstein a été lancé comme le "clown des mass media".

Einstein n'a JAMAIS eu le prix Nobel pour la relativité du fait de la controverse mais il l'a eu pour une toute petite théorie "la loi de l'effet photoélectrique*" (une demi page) dont on se demandait pourquoi un nobel pour une théorie si désuète ?

Plusieurs sources scientifiques confirment ce plagiat. On peut juste s'étonner que les médias non scientifiques ne relaient pas cette information, pour rendre à Henri Poincaré*, la paternité de cet éminent travail scientifique et ainsi dénoncé la paternité attribuée au plagiaire qui continue d'être véhiculée dans l'imaginaire collectif.

Les thèmes de la solitude, et plus spécifiquement du célibat, sont tout aussi présents dans la vie que dans l’œuvre de Søren Kierkegaard. Bien que ceux-ci soient rarement abordés de manière directe, ils constituent un fil directeur nous permettant de cheminer dans les méandres de la philosophie kierkegaardienne. De nombreux commentateurs s’accordent à dire que la rupture des fiançailles entre Søren et Régine en 1841, à l’initiative de Kierkegaard, se révéla être un élément particulièrement significatif, marquant de son empreinte toute son œuvre. La pertinence de cette remarque se lit notamment au travers des romans philosophiques de Kierkegaard qui reprennent souvent la thématique de l’amour impossible. Via dm Delete the scoop?

"The brain acquires certain skills—from visual perception to language—during critical windows, specific times in early life when the brain is actively shaped by environmental input. Scientists like Takao K. Hensch are now discovering pathways in animal models through which these windows might be re-opened in adults, thus re-awakening a brain’s youth-like plasticity. Such research has implications for brain injury repair, sensory recovery, and neurodevelopmental disorder treatment. In addition, what we know today about these critical windows of development already has enormous implications for social and educational policy." Via Maggie Rouman Delete the scoop?

There are many amazing examples of artists who turn to cartography and geography for inspiration. Whether through the lens of a camera, paint, ...
This series of cartographically-inspired art work change how we look at maps. Some of these artists also make us think of places that are on the Earth as explicitly "mappable" features. I think the Google Maps push-pin in the city center is my favorite. Which do you prefer?
