The science of learning can offer some surprising and useful perspectives on how we guide and educate young people.

Via Gust MEES
Gust MEES's curator insight, June 11, 2013 6:28 AM

 

The science of learning is a relatively new discipline born of an agglomeration of fields: cognitive science, psychology, philosophy, neuroscience. Its project is to apply the methods of science to human endeavors—teaching and learning—that have for centuries been mostly treated as an art.


Krysta Hammond's curator insight, June 11, 2013 12:22 PM

Very useful insight into how we guide and educate our youth. Interesting idea of "situation creator" as well, creating opportunities to belong, seeing that we are stronger being connected than on our own.

Roundup of Cannes 2013 Grand Prix winners
Alessandro Rea's insight:

Missed Cannes? Creativity revisits the top honorees of the 2013 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, a mix of expected advertising hits and some pleasant surrpises. For more coverage from the week and winners, tune into Creativity's Cannes Central.


Fim/Branded Content/Cyber: Intel/Toshiba "The Beauty Inside
Pereira O'Dell's social film for Intel/Toshiba starred actor Topher Grace as Alex, a man who woke up every day in a different body, which becomes a problem when he falls in love with someone. The campaign ran over the course of six weeks, and along the way Alex was played by a cast of consumers who auditioned online. They appeared via Alex's video diaries about his condition, which were all recorded on his Intel-powered Toshiba laptop. The effort was the suprise hit of the festival and earned top honors in cyberfilm and branded content. Just before Cannes, it alsoearned a Daytime Emmy. It's actually the second iteration of a campaign launched in 2011, with another social film starring actress Emmy Rossum, but judges praised this for the quality of production and story. To them, it represented a move forward in filmic and online storytelling.
