Quick Notes:
- In ICT, anything older than 5 years is out of date.
- Firefox lets me bypass all the network permissions for extensions, yay! Now I might finally be able to use my Chromecast to display Zoom classes on my TV.
- Vocaroo for creating podcasts or leaving audio feedback for assignments which personalizes content for students.
Today's Reflection: Notes on Pedadogy based on TEDTalk by Sugata Mitra
- 300 yrs ago, the British Empire ran the planet with a handwritten data travelling by ships which created a global computer made up of people aka the Bureaucratic Administrative Machine.
- The British Empire made another machine to produce those people - the education system where students must know three things, handwriting, reading, mental math. Now we are producing people for an empire that no longer exists.
- STUDENTS MUST BE SO IDENTICAL THAT THEY CAN BE PLUCKED AND REPLACED
- TODAY: We don't need people who have beautiful handwriting who can do mental math, don't need to just read, but read discerningly.
- USE THE GRANDMOTHER METHOD "Stand behind them and just sound excited about everything you did. Say things like "When I was your age..."
- Speech to text helps people improve pronunciation.
- Out of all the different research experiments, ENCOURAGEMENT IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
- Set the stage for learning and then step back and let it happen.
- What motivates people to learn? Being just annoyed enough that they don't know the answer. In other words, setting up conditions where a small amount of frustration/irritation has to be resolved (Theory = Cognitive Load). Thankfully, ICT has lots of irritations :D
- OUR JOBS AT EDUCATORS IS TO MAKE PEOPLE THIRSTY
- "Salt in the oats"
