Theories of Learning. Connectivism: A new type of learning for the digital age Via Dr. Susan Bainbridge

"Among the great ironies of our culture is that science, a fundamentally open-ended and exploratory activity, is frequently taught so much as a body of "facts" that many students become estranged from science, and most are deprived of an opportunity to have experiences which strengthen and reinforce their own inclination to experiment, question, and explore ... both the world outside and themselves. Materials presented here are aimed at finding ways to make science education, and education in general, more exploratory, and more fun."

"Educational innovations in youth learning today are bringing to the forefront issues of youth imagination, creation, collaboration, and innovation in a networked world of participatory culture and new media literacies. This forum will showcase design principles and research findings from ongoing partnership projects in Chicago and Oakland in under-resourced public schools and neighborhoods where students work with mentors in designs supporting their creation of video, radio, animations, spoken word poetry, and other media that advance 21st century competencies. Discussions will explore the promise of addressing digital divides and educational inequalities with such designs. The panel will be hosted by Stanford Graduate School of Education faculty member Paulo Blikstein."

"Visual content is a guaranteed winner for eLearning because it’s a people magnet. Visual representations can simplify complex information in a way that attracts attention and is easy-to-consume. As an eLearning developer, seek opportunities where you can include images and graphics to achieve your learning objectives." Via EDTECH@UTRGV
Roxana Marachi, PhD's insight:
Cognitive science supports the use of visualization and mental imagery as powerful encoding strategies for learning and memory. The recommendations in this article for "e-learning" may well be argued to be equally valuable for educators to consider in parallel brick and mortar, person-to-person learning enrvironments as well.

Students and teachers alike have been brought up in an educational system that mimics an antiquated job market. The teacher is the boss, managing the work of his student workers who have to produce goods that meet approval, he said. But many people fear that system no longer serves students headed toward a less certain future, one that could necessitate that a student be able to define and create her own job.

I appreciate being able to see the relationships. As a student of education, I sometimes get bogged down by the divisions between philosophy and science. This will be a nice tool to sort the data in my mind.

"As California teachers begin to strategize about how to meet the Common Core standards, some educators say that explicit instruction in social and emotional competence – teaching students how to regulate their emotions, problem-solve, and disagree respectfully, among other abilities – should be a key part of the equation. The ability to collaborate, to see others’ perspectives, and to persevere in solving problems is required of students in the Common Core. Social and emotional learning provides the interpersonal skills students need to perform these intellectual tasks, said Nancy Markowitz, an education professor and director of the Collaborative for Reaching and Teaching the Whole Child at San Jose State University."
