Thinkstock When parents and teachers consider how children learn, it’s usually the intellectual aspects of the activity they have in mind. Sidney D’Mello would like to change that. The University of Notre Dame psychologist has been studying the role of feelings in learning for close to a decade, and he has concluded that complex learning is almost inevitably “an emotionally charged experience,” as he wrote in a paper published in the journal Learning and Instruction earlier this year. During the learning experiments described in his paper, he notes, the participating students reported being in a neutral state only about a quarter of the time. ===> The rest of the time, they were experiencing lots of feelings: surprise, delight, engagement, confusion, boredom, frustration. <=== Read more: http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/07/what-do-emotions-have-to-do-with-learning/

As our students grow dependant on Internet being a primary source for their information, it becomes of urgent necessity that we, as teachers and educators, should know how to evaluate web content and decipher credible resources from spam and irrelevant ones.

As practitioners will already know, the way that one learner studies may differ from the way that a classmate does, because of their different styles of learning. The four types are... - visual learners,
- auditory learners,
- read and write learners, and
- kinesthetics learners. Each function is clearly illustrated and explained in this infographic produced by onlinecollege.org. Learning suggestions, and which tests the learner types are likely to excel in better than others, are provided. This is a helpful guide for... - IAG Practitioners - Learners - Initial Teacher Training - educators, especially those who are adamant that there is only one way to revise.

In the past, it might have been true that leaders could succeed simply because they were smart. But that’s no longer all it takes. While technical skills remain important, our emotional intelligence (referred to as EQ or EI) is just as important as our IQ. In fact, research shows that a leader’s emotional intelligence has a direct impact on the success of an organization. Daniel Goleman, a thought-leader on the topic of EI, says this about emotional intelligence: “If your emotional abilities aren’t in hand, if you don’t have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can’t have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far.” Read more: http://www.realtimeperformance.com/RealTimeLeadership/?p=863

by Marilyn Price-Mitchell, PhD. In the 3rd of a 4-part series on character strengths, this article focuses on how teachers can create positive learning environments that uses character strengths as the foundation to a core curriculum. In his recent article School Made Easy: Character Education is the Key, Dr. Neal Mayerson, Chairman of the VIA Institute, points out that teachers choose the type of culture to create in their classrooms. ===> Cultures of collaboration, confidence, mutual respect, and engagement help nurture the development of character strengths. <=== Read more, very interesting and very important for best "eCitizen" and "Digital Citizen-Ship"... http://rootsofaction.com/blog/developing-character-strengths-a-vital-goal-of-education-part-3/
College students are often very adept at “being social” through technological means such as social networking websites and other virtual communities. However, once they enter the classroom and students no longer have electronic communication to rely upon for their interactions, it may be challenging at first for them to develop interpersonal and productive relationships with other classmates through non-digital or face-to-face communication. That’s when emotional intelligence is needed because it strengthens the skills required to interact effectively with others, which are often under-utilized with electronic communication. Daniel Goleman is a thought-leader in the field of emotional intelligence and in his article, The Value of Emotional Intelligence, identified the “four components that will turn struggling students into more successful ones.” Goleman described emotional self-awareness, emotional self-management, social awareness, and relationship management as the most important aspects of becoming emotionally intelligent. In the following video presentation Goleman shares more about this topic.

18TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTED LEARNING & TRAINING
THE LARGEST GLOBAL E-LEARNING CONFERENCE FOR THE CORPORATE, EDUCATION AND PUBLIC SERVICE SECTORS
REACHING BEYOND TOMORROW
The world has changed. Society is no longer the same. Today, people live, work, relax and, above all, learn very differently. We expect flexibility – we want to be able to choose, to adapt. We don’t want the past or tradition to dictate to us. Technology has given us the freedom to do this. As the overall theme for ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN 2012, 'Reaching Beyond Tomorrow,' will investigate how we get from our present situation in the midst of a crisis, to a brighter, better and more inclusive future in which technology enables everyone to improve and enrich themselves.
