SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING: EQUIPPING STUDENTS FOR THE DIGITAL ECONOMY

SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING: EQUIPPING STUDENTS FOR THE DIGITAL ECONOMY | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
In the report ‘New Vision for Education: Fostering Social and Emotional Learning through Technology', the World Economic Forum explores how "character qualities" such as collaboration, communication and critical thinking will equip students to succeed in the swiftly evolving digital economy.

To thrive in the 21st century, students need more than traditional academic learning. They must be adept at collaboration, communication and problem-solving, which are some of the skills developed through social and emotional learning (SEL).

In 2015, the World Economic Forum (WEF) published the report New Vision for Education: Unlocking the Potential of Technology that focused on the pressing issue of the 21st-century skills gap and ways to address it through technology. In that report, WEF defined a set of 16 crucial proficiencies for education. Of those skills, 10 were labelled either “competencies” or “character qualities”. Competencies are the means by which students approach complex challenges; they include collaboration, communication and critical thinking and problem-solving. Character qualities are the ways in which students approach their changing environment; they include curiosity, adaptability and social and cultural awareness.

To Become a More Visionary Leader, Become Stronger at Visualization

To Become a More Visionary Leader, Become Stronger at Visualization | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
To Become a More Visionary Leader, Become Stronger at Visualization

In our research with thousands of leaders, one skill stands out — by far — as the most common improvement area: their ability to sell a vision to employees. Over 50 percent of leaders we’ve assessed struggle to demonstrate this form of visionary leadership, a larger deficiency percentage than for any other leadership skill. Leaders are consistently unable to vividly paint a compelling picture of the future in a way that inspires others to follow them along a challenging route toward a new business reality. This is an improvement area for most leaders because it requires them to synthesize and clarify ambiguous, complex business concepts into a clear path forward.

The Future of Learning — Learning {Re}imagined | #LEARNing2LEARN #ModernEDU 

The Future of Learning - Learning {Re}imagined - Medium
It’s as if we agreed that the purpose of education was simply content distribution and testing, and therefore we don’t really need skilled teachers. We could actually offload that to technology.


In my opinion, that’s wrong. I think there’s much more to teaching and learning than that and I think we should allow much more freedom in the say that technology is used in the classroom and we should be able to use technology to amplify our ability to learn and our ability to teach rather than effectively imprison us.

 

For example, in testing, in examinations, in 2016 why are students not allowed to take their computer connected to the internet into the examination room? Why are they not allowed to share their answers with their colleagues? Why are they not allowed to phone their mother or phone a subject specialist? Why do we suddenly pretend that the twenty-first century never happened when a child enters an examination room?

Sarkasmus – Wikipedia | #Rhetorik 

Sarkasmus

Sarkasmus bezeichnet beißenden, bitteren Spott und Hohn, in der Literatur oft in Form der Satire oder - verschärft - der Polemik angewandte Form der Kritik an gesellschaftlichen Gegebenheiten unterschiedlicher Art. Sarkasmus ist ein latinisiertes griechisches Substantiv (σαρκασμός sarkasmós „die Zerfleischung, der beißende Spott", von altgriechisch sarkazein „sich das Maul zerreißen, zerfleischen, verhöhnen", von σάρξ sarx „das (rohe) Fleisch").


Da die Absicht eines Spottes nur dem Spötter selbst bekannt ist, ist eine Unterscheidung von außen äußerst schwierig. Den Begriffen gemeinsam ist die Tatsache, dass der Angreifer weniger Gegenangriffsfläche bietet, als wenn er sachlich vorgehen würde.

Spott ist häufig offener und eindeutiger als Sarkasmus; letzterer ist oft subtiler und doppeldeutig. Deshalb kann mancher Sarkasmus z. B. ein diktatorisches Regime kritisieren, ohne dass der Absender der sarkastischen Nachricht im Gefängnis landet.

Sarkasmus und Ironie[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Umgangssprachlich wird Sarkasmus oft als Form der Ironie betrachtet[6] oder Ironie als eine nette Variante und Sarkasmus demgegenüber als dem Angriff dienend aufgefasst, teilweise gar als Spott und Angriff streng von Ironie abgegrenzt.[7] Tatsächlich ist Ironie jedoch eine Technik, ein Mittel, etwas auszudrücken, während Sarkasmus eine bestimmte Absicht einer Aussage beschreibt, unabhängig von sprachlichen Mitteln, mit denen sie formuliert wurde. Ironie bezeichnet Aussagen, die als das Gegenteil des tatsächlich Gemeinten formuliert werden; dies kann zum Schutz des Sprechers verhüllend sein oder die Aussage verstärken. Sarkasmus ist bitterer, beißender Spott – unabhängig davon, wie das Gemeinte ausgedrückt wird, ob direkt oder indirekt mittels Ironie.

Für Arthur Schopenhauer ist Ironie objektiv. Sie verweist durch Über- oder Untertreibung auf die Kehrseite, wobei sie die Ianus­natur der Erscheinungen humorvoll gelten lässt. Sarkasmus dagegen ist einseitig; seine Fokussierung der Kehrseite zielt auf Vernichtung.

Teacher leadership & deeper learning for all students [#Infographic] | #CTQ #CTQCollab | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

TEACHER LEADERSHIP & DEEPER LEARNING FOR ALL STUDENTS

In this new paper commissioned by the Ford Foundation, Barnett Berry makes the case for how a system of teacher leadership and learning can fuel deeper learning for all students. 

Here is what the paper tackles:

examines current reforms’ limitations and notes some promising emergent examples, (like Social Justice Humanitas Academy in LAUSD); summarizes 30 years of research about how teachers learn and lead (also drawing on stories of teachers CTQ has worked with since our founding in 1998); identifies three promising shifts that could be leveraged to create an effective system of teacher leadership and learning; and
describes next steps that stakeholders (including policymakers, USDOE, state education leaders, superintendents, and others) can take to advance teacher leadership toward a more equitable public education system.  

 

The infographic below reveals 3 big changes we can leverage now to improve public education for all students.

Social learning: the revolution in eLearning

Social learning: the revolution in eLearning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
How can an age-old learning strategy, like social learning, make your eLearning course pop? Read this article and find out the benefits of social learning!

 

What is Social Learning?

Before we delve into the benefits of this type of learning, we need to understand what research in social learning tells us.

Social learning theory: The social learning theorists Bandura and Walters have described this theory as follows:

· Learning is not purely behavioral; rather, it is a cognitive process that takes place in a social context. This points to the learners’ preference to learn in groups. The interchange of knowledge and perspective creates new knowledge that is personal to the learner.

· Learning can occur by observing a behavior and by observing the consequences of the behavior (vicarious reinforcement).

· Learning involves observation, extraction of information from those observations, and making decisions about the performance of the behavior (observational learning ormodeling). Thus, learning can occur without an observable change in behavior.

· Reinforcement plays a role in learning, but is not entirely responsible for learning.

· The learner is not a passive recipient of information. Cognition, environment, and behavior all mutually influence each other (reciprocal determinism).

The Critical 21st Century Skills Every Student Needs and Why

The Critical 21st Century Skills Every Student Needs and Why | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Our Big List of 21st Century Skills
The Global Digital Citizen Foundation has given hundreds of presentations to educators and administrators in several countries over the years. Each time we’ve spoken, we have asked them what they feel are the most important 21st century skills students need above all others.
The answers that we’ve recieved most often are narrowed down below. This list comes from our book Literacy is Not Enough (Crockett, Lee et. al.; 2011). You’ll be able to see that these points correlate rather well with both the New Zealand’s capabilities list and the IB Learner Profile. They certainly cover the Common Core’s bases, too. It’s good to know we’re all on the same page, isn’t it? That’s great news for our students!
So, according to the folks we’ve asked, the consensus is that students need to acquire transparency-level skills in the following areas:


Problem solving
Creativity
Analytic thinking
Collaboration
Communication
Ethics, action, and accountabillty

Sarcasm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | #Rhetoric #Irony 

Sarcasm

Sarcasm is the use of irony to mock or convey contempt. "The distinctive quality of sarcasm is present in the spoken word and manifested chiefly by vocal inflections". The sarcastic content of a statement will be dependent upon the context in which it appears.

Do Self-Directed Learners Use Mentors, Guides & Coaches? | #Autodidact #Coaching #Mentoring #LEARNing2LEARN 

Do Self-Directed Learners Use Mentors, Guides & Coaches? | #Autodidact #Coaching #Mentoring #LEARNing2LEARN  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
For those not familiar with self-directed learning, they sometimes have a stereotype about what it means to be a self-directed learner. One of them includes this vision of the solitary and independent learner who does things her way. She only depends upon herself, not relying upon teachers or others. Yet, in my study of self-directed learning, that tends to be far from true. In fact, many self-directed learners actively seek out different guides and mentors in their pursuit of new learning goals. They own the learning, but they seek out mentors and guides to accomplish their learning goals.

Self-directed learning is not solitary learning. It is not anti-teacher, anarchist, nor is it selfish. At least that is not the vision for most advocates and champions of self-directed learning. What makes it distinct is that the learner, not a teacher or other authority, takes increasing ownership for the what, why and how of learning. It stems from a conviction that teaching self-sufficiency and self-regulation is effectively done by providing contexts where one is able to practice self-regulating and being increasingly self-sufficient.

What Blockchain Means for Higher Education | #FinTech #Bitcoin #EdTech

What Blockchain Means for Higher Education | #FinTech #Bitcoin #EdTech | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
When you hear the word blockchain does it make your head spin? Wall Street analysts and fintech experts claim it could make traditional banking obsolete; Airbnb just acquired a team of blockchain experts; and the country of Estonia will use it to secure a million patient health records.

But what exactly is blockchain, and what are its implications for higher education?

Originally created as the underlying database for bitcoin (the peer-to-peer digital asset and payment system), blockchain’s technology is now being seen as valuable and purposeful beyond the financial sector. The advantages blockchain provides to store information on a secure, permanent, historical ledger that can be both public and private will change how edtech applications approach student data.

MIT and Google team up to develop the next generation of Scratch | #Coding 

MIT and Google team up to develop the next generation of Scratch | #Coding  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Here's some great news for fans of Scratch, an extremely popular game that teaches kids the conceptual "language" around computer programming, using cartoon-y animated characters. The MIT Scratch Team said Tuesday that it will collaborate with Google to create the next generation of the game.

MIT says this collaboration will first result in a new generation of graphical programming blocks, called Scratch Blocks, which is an open source project that allows developers to create and share the "blocks" (or code) of each game with one another. Developers can also easily integrate the blocks into apps, games and toys they create for kids. Scratch Blocks makes it easier to create programming experiences for a wider range of people that will work on a wider range of devices.

Great to hear that new development will allow for a richer / wider pool of 'block" to choose from.

Cool! Why play games when you can create them?
