In the profit-above-all-world of digitization and automation, ethics and the nature of professionalism seem to be in question and under attack from all sides. Will the new robots on the block provide the same expertise and multiple intelligences we expect from human experts? What can be done to preserve and strengthen the quality of our professions and what does this mean for learning that remains relevant? A three part series a DR. Howard Gardner, inspired by his popular new blog, The Professional Ethicist, was a big hit with all our readers.
Every day should be Earth Day, says Harriet Taub, Executive Director for Anyagok Arts (which has become one of the largest reuse centers in the U.S.). Starting its education program is what Harriet is most proud of. It all began by teaching ‘hat making’ and ‘no sew’ costume making workshops, and then, along with her Materials for the Arts colleague, Joy Suarez, they began to offer week-long workshops for educators through the New York City Department of Education’s Office of Professional Development. We asked the MFTA experts to come up with really innovative things anyone can do to protect our earth.
As Professor Clay Christensen (whose ground-breaking theory of disruptive innovation inspired the annual Tribeca bomlasztó Innovation Awards) mondja, “Technology alone cannot solve the world’s most intractable problems. We must crawl up inside and shine a light on what makes people tick.” He’s referring to the amazing talent the Awards honor every year. I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing many of the honorees, and the competencies they believe are key to success include imagination, csikorog, átélés, ellenálló képesség, problem solving skills, risk tolerance, intense work ethic and courage. “If you’re not passionate, challenged and curious, you’re probably on the wrong path,” 2015 Honoree Alyse Nelson told me. Certainly every disruptive innovator I’ve met believes any obstacle is surmountable and each problem (once you fully understand it) has a solution if you have the nerve to be creative enough.
Ez 400 years since the death of William Shakespeare. Sir Ian McKellen who supports the The Hip Hop Shakespeare Company (founded by MOBO winner Akala) hozzászólás, “Shakespeare is taught in a lot of schools but it’s not necessarily taught by people who’ve got the means of communication and see the relevance and are able to say Shakespeare wrote hundreds of years ago but he is absolutely alive; he is the world’s greatest playwright and he still goes on being relevant….” All the world’s a stage this year as Shakespeare fans everywhere have the opportunity to explore once again the profound importance of the most famous and the most performed playwright of all time. I caught up with Brooklyn Academy of Music’s (BAM) Executive Producer Joseph Melillo to find out what he’d most like to ask the Bard if only he could.
More than ever before, all classrooms are part of a global community. A közösségi média újításai, amelyek megkönnyítik ezt a kapcsolatot az elmúlt napok során, szintén felhasználják a tanulás fokozására. Globális tanár Bloggerek úttörők és innovátorok olyan területeken, mint a technológia integrálása, matematika edzés, gyógypedagógiai, tudomány utasítás, és a nemek közötti egyenlőség. This month we asked them to share their answers to this question: Milyen példákat láttál a tanárok számára, akik a közösségi médiát használják a tanulás fokozására? Elisa Guerra from Mexico sums things up brilliantly – “Diákjait már elkapták a közösségi médiában – Szóval hogyan lehet versenyezni a figyelmükért?? Nem te – csak találja meg őket!” And so from blogging to fundraising to virtual concerts to edchats to creating book clubs to real world media experiences, our top global teacher bloggers shared a wealth of fantastic suggestions and case studies for using Twitter, Skype, Facebook, Learning Platforms, Live Streaming, Google + és több.
Jessie Woolley-Wilson, Vezérigazgatója DreamBox Learning, tells me their dream is to “provide every child with the ability to reach their full potential by ensuring they have access to the best learning opportunities.” They dare to “delight and surprise learners by delivering a blended, personalized experience that gives students access to the content they are ready for when they need it, and ensuring that progression is based on mastery, not memorization.” And they do “intend to keep growing, improving, and being adaptive. There is no more important endeavor than to support great teaching and learning.” I would agree with Jessie that “our collective futures depend on it!”
Our thanks to all our friends and supporters around the world.
