The Chorus to Remember

Music can make a huge difference in your workday. Feel free to crank up the volume if noise has you working like a snail, you've got a case of the Monday's, or you've got something mundane or familiar to do. Ideally, though, make your playlists out of songs you already know, and if your tasks involve any sort of linguistic processing, focus on lyric-free options. Lastly, if you have something to learn, pump up your mood with music before you get started.

Who knew...and folks tell me to turn it down :-)

Alfredo Corell's curator insight, July 23, 2016 5:12 AM

Classical or instrumental music enhances mental performance more than music with lyrics. Music can make rote or routine tasks (think folding laundry or filing papers) less boring and more enjoyable. Runners who listen to music go faster. But when you need to give learning and remembering your full attention, silence is golden

The terms coaching and mentoring are often used in the same breath and their meaning conflated in educational discourse. Unfortunately, this only serves to perpetuate the confusion that exists about the difference between the two. A useful way to distinguish between these two forms of “helping intervention” is to place them on a continuum as shown on the slide below.

THE NEW SKILLS AGENDA FOR EUROPE: EUROPEAN SCHOOLNET'S PERSPECTIVE | #eSkills 

THE NEW SKILLS AGENDA FOR EUROPE: EUROPEAN SCHOOLNET'S PERSPECTIVE | #eSkills  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
14/07/2016

The current political momentum around skills is certainly welcomed by those whom, as European Schoolnet, strongly believe in the importance of skills and education to thrive in society.

European Schoolnet is a Brussels-based network of 30 European Ministries of Education. We aim to bring innovation in teaching and learning. We therefore welcome the launch of the New Skills Agenda by the European Commission and support the priorities that are set within the agenda, in particular the emphasis on the need to develop digital skills.

From digital skills to the safe and responsible use of online technology, through the wide variety of ICT in education projects we are involved in, it is clear to us how much digital skills are needed for citizens to actively participate in today's digital society, and how central they are in shaping the personal and professional future of a connected generation. Our leading role in a number of European initiatives in the area of STEM and of Key Competences for lifelong learning has further strengthened our belief that investing in the development and recognition of a wide variety of skills is beneficial to learners’ personal development, active citizenship, social inclusion, and employment.

European Schoolnet looks forward to supporting the New Skills Agenda for Europe in the four major areas outlined below. We believe that our network of stakeholders (Ministries of Education, schools, teachers, researchers, and industry partners) together with our targeted actions, tools, platforms, and services are able to contribute to bring about change.

 

  • Foster the development and assessment of key competences
  • Develop learners’ digital skills in school
  • Enhance young people’s employability
  • Develop students’ media literacy and critical thinking for digital citizenship

Die Förderung von Selbstlernfähigkeiten als integriertes Konzept universitärer Lehre

Im Projekt "Selbstlernförderung als Grundlage" steht die Konzeption, Entwicklung und Umsetzung von Angeboten zur Unterstützung der Selbstlernfähigkeiten von Studierenden an der TU Kaiserslautern im Mittelpunkt. Anbieter dieses integrativen Maßnahmenpakets ist das Selbstlernzentrum der TU Kaiserslautern, das im Rahmen der Projektaktivitäten ebenfalls aufgebaut wird und sich als fachbereichsübergreifende Anlaufstelle für Studierende versteht.

Die Angebote des Selbstlernzentrums unterstützen Studierende der TU Kaiserslautern bei der Entwicklung ihrer Selbstlern- und Selbstführungskompetenzen, leisten einen Beitrag zur Erleichterung des Studieneinstiegs und zur Verbesserung der kontinuierlichen Studienorganisation. Um auf überfachlicher Ebene der Heterogenität der Studierenden gerecht zu werden, sollen Studierende dazu befähigt werden, ihre Selbstlernkompetenzen weiterzuentwickeln, ihren Studienalltag besser zu meistern, Lernprozesse zu reflektieren und ihre Lernstrategie zu optimieren.

What is soft skills? - Definition from WhatIs.com

What is soft skills? - Definition from WhatIs.com | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Soft skills is a synonym for "people skills." The term describes those personal attributes that indicate a high level of emotional intelligence.

Unlike hard skills, which describe a person's technical skill set and ability to perform specific tasks, soft skills are broadly applicable across job titles and industries. It's often said that hard skills will get you an interview but you need soft skills to get -- and keep -- the job.

The moral of the story is that when lives depend on fully automated systems, it's a good idea to keep an eye on those systems anyway. (And if that's not the moral of the story, it should have been.)

How do you use something that's fully automatic, anyway? What is the responsibility of the "user"? Can we just hand over control to the bots?

Why Emotional Learning May Be As Important As The ABCs

Why Emotional Learning May Be As Important As The ABCs | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Yeah, Twiggle is lonely. But, eventually, he befriends a hedgehog, a duck and a dog. And along the way, he learns how to play, help and share.

These are crucial skills we all need to learn, even in preschool and kindergarten. And common sense — along with a growing body of research — shows that mastering social skills early on can help people stay out of trouble all the way into their adult lives.

So shouldn’t schools teach kids about emotions and conflict negotiation in the same way they teach math and reading? The creators of Twiggle the Turtle say the answer is yes.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify and manage your own emotions and the emotions of others. It is generally said to include 3 skills: Emotional awareness, including the ability to identify your own emotions and those of others; The ability to harness emotions and apply them to tasks like thinking and problem solving;  The ability to manage emotions, including the ability to regulate your own emotions, and the ability to cheer up or calm down another person." If you Google emotional intelligence, you will find a wealth of information and resources concluding that emotional intelligence or emotional quotient (EQ) makes one more employable than their intelligence quotient (IQ).

#Research Shows Students Learn Better When They Figure Things Out On Their Own | #Coaching #LEARNing2LEARN  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
In some instances, research illuminates a topic and changes our existing beliefs. For example, here’s a post that challenges the myth of preferred learning styles. Other times, you might hear about a study and say, “Well, of course that’s true!” This might be one of those moments.
Last year, Dr. Karlsson Wirebring and fellow researchers published a study that supports what many educators and parents have already suspected: students learn better when they figure things out on their own, as compared to being told what to do.

BYOD: Start in die nächste Generation | #EDUcation #Germany  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Im Januar 2014 wurde das Pilotprojekt „Start in die nächste Generation“ von der Behörde für Schule und Berufsbildung ausgeschrieben. Wichtige Voraussetzung für die Bewerbung an diesem Pilotprojekt war die Zustimmung der schulischen Gremien und damit der Eltern-, Schüler- und Lehrervertretung der Schule. Aus vielen Bewerbungen wurden 6 Schulen ausgewählt.vergrößern
(Bild: BSB)
Das Pilotprojekt hat eine Laufzeit von zwei Schuljahren. Das zentrale Ziel dieses Projektes ist es, die Chancen der digitalen Medien durch entsprechende Unterrichtskonzepte für eine Optimierung des Lernens zu nutzen und so den Lernerfolg der Schülerinnen  und Schüler zu verbessern. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Lernenden, die ihr privates, mobiles Gerät (Notebook, Tablet, Smartphone) mit in die Schule bringen und dieses Gerät im schulischen Unterricht und auch zuhause zum Lernen nutzen.
Mit dem Pilotprojekt werden Voraussetzungen geschaffen, die die Nutzung der digitalen Medien im Unterricht jederzeit ermöglichen, wenn es unterrichtlich und für das Lernen der Schülerinnen und Schüler sinnvoll und hilfreich ist. Dafür wird ein abgesichertes, schuleigenes, drahtloses Netzwerk in der Schule genutzt. Damit wird „mobiles“ Lernen an nahezu jedem Ort – egal ob im Klassenzimmer, Fachraum, Aula, Praktikum, Exkursion oder zuhause – möglich. Gerade die Tatsache, dass die Schülerinnen und Schüler ihr eigenes Gerät, mit dem sie sicher umgehen können, auch für ihr Lernen nutzen, lässt viele positive Effekte erwarten.

Leadership styles in education – The Seven Secrets to New Age Leadership | #Business #CHANGE #LEARNing2LEARN

Leadership styles in education – The Seven Secrets to New Age Leadership | #Business #CHANGE #LEARNing2LEARN | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The architect leader knows that the ability to create a nourishing and challenging environment for people to grow in is more important than any technical skill she can possess.

Continuous Improvement – The leader of tomorrow will regularly challenge old beliefs and be passionate about learning and about applying that learning in the real world. She will often ask my favorite question “Who is doing something differently then I am and what can I learn from them?”

The New Leader is Authentic. How and who you are is just as important as what you know! Hold yourself to the highest standards – don’t talk the talk unless you are prepared to walk the walk. Don’t expect of others what you don’t expect from your self. Be real, tell the truth. The leaders that are the most revered are those that let the light of who they are shine through in all they do. They are honest, forthright and clear.

Coach/Facilitator – A leader needs to be a coach not a commander. He needs to hold space open for things to happen. It is said that when leaders do their job properly people believe they have done it themselves. Leaders are there to help people see things from a different perspective, to provide questions that encourage learning and to help turn work experiences into learning experiences.

Our new leader is a Visionary. It’s clearly documented that visionary leaders are successful at mobilizing human potential. A vision provides focus. It’s a tool for aligning energy. Clear vision and purpose provide people with a framework from which to make decisions, it organizes action and effort.

20 Elements of an Amazing School Curriculum

20 Elements of an Amazing School Curriculum | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Of course, before I share this with you, I also want to remind you that I am quick to embrace and celebrate an ecosystem of diverse schools. What I describe below is neither the best or only way to create an amazing school curriculum. Yet, I can write with confidence that this would certainly contribute to a rich, engaging and rewarding school experience; one that gives ample voice and choice to learners while challenging them to grow in character, competence, confidence,  and purpose.

What is Curriculum?

The word “curriculum”, as best as I can tell, comes from the idea of a race course. It is a course of study, a pathway that leads to some destination. Yet, others simply define it in the broadest sense as everything that goes into a student’s learning experience in a formal education program. Traditionally, people thought of the curriculum in terms of content, assessments, resources (like books and other readings), teacher-guided lessons and learning experiences, and the like. Yet, more recently, much conversation about curriculum focuses upon standards, outcomes, resources, and assessments; the items that we frequently see in curriculum maps.
