Math isn’t hard, it’s a language | Randy Palisoc | TEDxManhattanBeach

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Is 26% proficiency in math acceptable to you? That’s the question teacher and Synergy Academies Founder Dr. Randy Palisoc asks the TEDxManhattanBeach audience. With only 26% of U.S. twelfth graders proficient in mathematics, Randy shares his solution: teach math as a language. Putting words back into math lessons enables even the youngest school-age minds to grasp complex concepts, such as fractions, that are traditionally thought of as abstract and difficult to understand. In his stunningly simple and effective approach, math no longer creates problems for kids but solves them. Randy Palisoc is a passionate educator, known for making math easy. A founder of the five-time national award winning Synergy Academies, Randy is proud to identify Synergy as an “in spite of” school. In spite of the fact that its students were disadvantaged and in spite of the fact that it did not have its own facility and had to pack up its classrooms every single week, his school was the first and only elementary school in South Los Angeles to ever win the National Blue Ribbon Award, and was named the #1 Urban Elementary School in America in 2013. Seeking a broader impact, Randy left Synergy this year to start Ironbox Education. One of the ways he believes we can dramatically improve America’s schools is by doing a better job teaching math to our students in a way that makes sense to them. Randy believes implementing a few changes in the way we approach math will give students the confidence and thinking skills to be more competitive in a global economy.

Tim Leberecht: 3 ways to (usefully) lose control of your brand

Your body language may shape who you are | Amy Cuddy

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy argues that “power posing” — standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident — can boost feelings of confidence, and might have an impact on our chances for success. (Note: Some of the findings presented in this talk have been referenced in an ongoing debate among social scientists about robustness and reproducibility.

Achieving education for all in Vietnam

Transcript Vietnam made enormous progress in developing its education system in recent years, but still faced challenges in rural and remote areas, particularly in meeting the needs of disadvantaged children-poor kids, street kids, kids with disabilities, and kids from ethnic minorities. Some children had to walk two to three kilometres along steep mountain paths just to get to school. It’s no surprise that some never got there and others gave up along the way. La Thi Huyen: “My name is La Thi Huyen, I’m a new teacher. I graduated this year. It’s my first full year teaching. One of the biggest difficulties I face in teaching these children is that all of them are from ethnic minorities and they don’t speak Vietnamese very fluently.” As part of its priority theme to secure a future for children and youth, CIDA, along with other donors, including the World Bank, worked with the Government of Vietnam for seven years to improve access to primary school for disadvantaged children such as these-some 2.7 million or 27 percent of all students in Vietnam-and to improve the quality of education in 40 poor provinces. Together, they: Provided more than 3 million textbooks to students, as well as school supplies, and in some cases shoes and uniforms Built more than 16,000 new schools Trained more than 312,865 teachers and 7,026 teacher’s aides La Thi Huyen: “I have learned how teachers should interact with children, how we should write on the boards. I apply some teaching methods that I learned to make it easier for my students to learn.” The results? By the end of 2010: Primary school enrolment increased from 80 percent to 99 percent Primary school completion rates increased from 72 percent to 94 percent Drop-out rates fell from 12 percent to 2.5 percent More than 2.7 million students now have a more hopeful future, and Vietnam is closer to achieving universal primary education for all-one of the Millennium Development Goals agreed to by the world’s leaders in 2000.

Waldorf School Education

Support our channel with a small donation at http://www.patreon.com/sprouts Waldorf education is based on the principles of Anthroposophy by Rudolf Steiner. Rudolf Steiner founded the first school in 1919 Stuttgart Germany to educate the children of the factory workers from the Waldorf Astoria Zigaretten Fabrik – hence the name. All kids, independent of social status or talent received the same instruction, which made the school a pioneer of social justice in education. The goal of a Waldorf education is to develop free, but morally responsible individuals equipped with a high degree of social competence and creative capabilities. Factual knowledge, homework and tests scores receive less attention. Storytelling and experimentation are the main method of instruction, textbooks are being avoided. Over the twelve-year curriculum, students learn math, literature, history and science as well as a wide variety of arts and hands-on skills. Elementary students paint, knit, weave and sculpt with wax. Older ones make patterns, books, pottery and sculpt in stone. Everybody learns to do music. First all play the flute, then some play string instruments and others join the choir. Students play non-competitive games and learn to dance eurhythmy. They do organic farming and learn two foreign languages, which in the first years are taught through songs, storytelling and conversations. In grade 8 and 12 the entire class develops a classical drama which they perform in front of their parents and friends. Waldorf uses a unique project based approach to almost all main academic subjects. Instead of repetitive schedules, a specific subject, such as history, math, science or even gardening dominates the first two hours in the morning for a period of 4-6 weeks. After that, a new subject gets the main focus. Steiner also invented an experiential approach to science whereby students observe and later describe scientific concepts in their own words and drawings rather than learning about them in a textbook first. Waldorf schools therefore consider computers useful to children only in their teens, after they have mastered fundamental, time-honored ways of discovering information and learning. In the spirit of personal development and empathy, competition and grades are being avoided. Teachers instead assess the student’s individual growth of character. Tests scores and grades are only slowly introduced to older students as they prepare for college and entrance exams. Today there are over a thousand Waldorf schools in 60 countries, making it one of the largest independent school movements. Waldorf has become a recognised educational theory in Europe and its schools have received state funding.

Dean’s Lecture Series 2017 – Opportunities and obstacles for STEM education

Although the acronym STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) has gained substantial traction around the globe in the last decade, its educational implication is much debated. Interpretations of STEM education differ in their emphases, for instance, on interdisciplinarity or integration, on developing skills such as critical thinking or creativity, or on introducing contemporary content (e.g., robotics, virtual reality). In any case, there is an expectation that STEM education will boost student interest and achievement, and that pursuing STEM studies will enhance students’ employability. Yet, implementation of STEM education poses serious challenges for schools and teachers in terms of curriculum, pedagogy, assessment and organisation. This presentation will explore the longitudinal research needed to determine the impact of STEM education on students, teachers and schools. Professor Jan van Driel A former chemistry teacher, Professor van Driel has a PhD in chemical education from Utrecht University in the Netherlands. He was a teacher trainer and educational consultant at Delft University of Technology, before joining Leiden University Graduate School of Teaching in 1995. He went on to become the Professor of Science Education in 2006 and Director of ICLON, Leiden University, before moving to Australia in 2016 to become the Melbourne Graduate School of Education’s inaugural Professor of Science Education. A world leading scholar, Professor van Driel’s work is influential in informing the professional development of science teachers and he has done extensive research in the domains of teaching, teaching education and higher education. He is co-editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Science Education and was Vice-President of the Netherlands Educational Research Association from 2001-2009. Until recently Professor van Driel was chair of the Interuniversity Centre for Teacher Education and secretary of the board of the Technasium Foundation (Netherlands).

Education Is a System of Indoctrination of the Young – Noam Chomsky

Chomsky has been known to vigorously defend and debate his views and opinions, in philosophy, linguistics, and politics. More Chomsky: https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=U… He has had notable debates with Jean Piaget, Michel Foucault, William F. Buckley, Jr., Christopher Hitchens, George Lakoff, Richard Perle, Hilary Putnam, Willard Quine, and Alan Dershowitz, to name a few. In response to his speaking style being criticized as boring, Chomsky said that “I’m a boring speaker and I like it that way…. I doubt that people are attracted to whatever the persona is….

Starting Early: LIGO Science & the Future Astrophysicist | Zsuzsa Marka | TEDxYouth@BrowningSchool

Ms. Márka’s main contribution is leading the manufacturing and testing of a key subsystem, the timing system for the LIGO detectors. On September 14, 2015, the LIGO detectors observed that three solar masses of energy had radiated away from merging black holes, in the form of gravitational waves. Using a laser interferometer, which splits a single beam into two that eventually rejoin, LIGO was able to detect a small displacement from the normal wave. This displacement indicated the presence of a gravitational-wave. Zsuzsa Marka is an experimental physicist at Columbia University. She works on the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory) project, the experiment that a year ago announced the discovery of gravitational-waves from a pair of merging black holes. Her main contribution is leading the manufacturing and testing of a key subsystem, the timing system, for the LIGO detectors, and she also leads the timing diagnostics studies for the collaboration. Beyond instrumentation, she also works with members of the Columbia Experimental Gravity group on various aspects of gravitational-wave astrophysics.

Opposition party lawmakers tried to shoot down the education minister nominee,… calling him unfit for the position over allegations that he had plagiarized his research papers,… to which Kim had responded by saying he had done nothing to be ashamed of. Answering policy related questions,… the former education superintendent for Gyeonggi-do Province said he would improve equality in education,… and said he’ll monitor the increasingly competitive educational system once sworn in. Meanwhile, after a relatively smooth confirmation hearing process, lawmakers adopted a hearing report on the unification minister nominee Cho Myoung-gyon, . During the Q&A session, Cho told lawmakers that Seoul will respond strongly to Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile provocations,… while working to re-establish dialogue between the two Koreas. Also during the hearing, Cho said that Seoul needs to craft bold and practical ways to resolve the North’s nuclear issue. These comments come as President Moon had expressed that he would seek a dual-track approach towards denuclearizing North Korea. Cho also said Seoul needs to work on re-opening the now-closed Kaesong Industrial Complex,… once progress has been made towards North Korea’s denuclearization. The unification minister nominee had previously played a part in opening the jointly-run complex during his time as a presidential secretary under the Roh Moo-hyun administration. Next to face the lawmakers questions is labor minister nominee Cho Dae-yeop, who has his confirmation hearing scheduled for Friday. Shin Se-min, Arirang News.

Education Q&A with OECD’s Andreas Schleicher

OECD Acting Director for the Directorate of Education and Skills, Andreas Schleicher answers crowdsourced questions for the Global Education and Skills Forum, 2014. Don’t miss new Big Think videos!  Subscribe by clicking here: http://goo.gl/CPTsV5 Find out more about the Global Education & Skills Forum: http://www.educationandskillsforum.org Questions: — Will we ever see an international assessment that tracks student learning across multiple years? — Do parents have an impact on student success? — Is there a risk that good PISA scores might lead to complacency? — Is the humanistic approach to evaluation an important indicator? Transcript – We need to become better at tracking student learning growths not at just seeing where students are at any point in time but also seeing how they actually progress in their learning pathways. And actually a lot is happening in that field. In fact, the PISA assessment as we have it currently focusing on 15 year olds is looking into expanding to lower grades so that we can actually get at least at the synthetic level some sense of the progress that is being made in education raising quality, improving equity and also value for money. The PISA data show that parents have a very significant influence on the success of their children. We see that where parents have a greater expectations on education, where parents are more closely involved in the education of their children results are significantly better. And it’s not only in terms of the academic performance of students but it’s also in terms of their attitudes toward learning, their enjoyment of learning. Their persistence when things get tough in school. So parental involvement is very important. We also see that that parental involvement isn’t about having an academic degree as a parent or spending hours of time on homework. It’s really the interest parents show for the education of their children. For example, when parents regularly ask their children, you know, “How was school today? What did go wrong?” We can see those kids actually having a significantly higher performance at school than kids — even kids from wealthy neighborhoods where parents do not show that level of engagement. So a very important ingredient for success is to make parents part of the equation. If you do well you might think you don’t need to improve. But, in fact, the PISA data do not lend much evidence to this. In fact, some of the most rapidly improving systems are some of the best performing systems. They want to move from good to great. They’re actually seeing, you know, how is the labor demand shaping up in the future. What are the kind of knowledge and skills that we need to improve on? I’ll give you an example. You can look at Singapore. Singapore has always done well on math and science tests. But Singaporean educators have not been satisfied with this. They’re looking to how can we strengthen students ways of thinking, creativity, critical thinking, problem solving. Students ways of working, collaboration, teamwork and so on. So the education system is actually looking towards moving forward. Complacency is a risk but we do actually see very encouraging signals that improvement is taking place at every part of the system. You cannot improve what you can’t measure. So the measurement framework is really, really critically important. But we also do see incentives not only for our low performers to catch up but also for the strong performers to move forward further. It was a bit long? A humanistic perspective is very important to evaluating educational results. In fact, we need to get away from looking at education with a single perspective. Evaluation can only take part place in a framework of multiple kinds of perspectives. Looking at test data from students is one perspective. Looking at teachers views on student performance. Looking at other students — it’s this kind of multiplicity of instruments that actually help us improve education. And that’s true even at the level of teachers, you know. You can evaluate teachers on the basis of student learning outcomes. This is one perspective. But you also need to bring in other perspectives that value the broader responsibilities that teachers have. So looking at outcomes from multiple perspectives including these kind of quality — qualitative outlook is very, very important. Directed and Produced by Jonathan Fowler

Education: It Matters More to Health Than Ever Before

Did you know that your years of education can affect how long and how well you will live? Americans with fewer years of education have poorer health and shorter lives, and that has never been more true than today. In fact, since the 1990s, life expectancy has decreased for people without a high school education. Education is important not only for higher paying jobs and economic productivity, but also for saving lives and saving dollars. Created by the VCU Center on Society and Health with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this video is part of the Education and Health Initiative, a larger project aiming to increase awareness and understanding of the important connections between education and health.

Do you *really* love your child?: Dale Stephens at TEDxEastsidePrep

At 20, Dale Stephens founded UnCollege.org because we’re paying too much for college and learning too little. It’s no secret that college doesn’t prepare students for the real world. Student loan debt recently eclipsed credit card debt for the first time in history and now tops 1 trillion dollars. And the throngs of unemployed graduates chasing the same jobs makes us wonder whether there’s a better way to “make it” in today’s marketplace. There is—and Dale Stephens is proof of that. In Hacking Your Education, Stephens speaks to a new culture of “hackademics” who think college diplomas are antiquated. Hackademics abandon society’s linear path to success and bend institutions to fit their own reality. Stephens shows how he and dozens of others have hacked their education, and how you can too. You don’t need to be a genius or especially motivated to succeed outside school. The real requirements are much simpler: curiosity, confidence, and grit. Stephens is a sought-after education expert appearing on major news networks including CNN, ABC, NPR, CBS, Fox, and TechCrunch. His work has been covered by the New York Times and New York Magazine to Fast Company and Forbes. He has spoken around the world at high-profile events, from debating Vivek Wadhwa onstage at TED 2012 to lecturing at the New York Times to speaking to C-level executives at NBC Universal. He works frequently with universities who realize their model of education must change to survive in the 21st century. In May 2011 Stephens was selected out of hundreds of individuals around the world as a Thiel Fellow, a program recognizing the top twenty-four entrepreneurs around the world under the age of twenty. In addition to leading UnCollege, Stephens advises education and technology companies. Rejected for being young or inexperienced, he has risen above skepticism to do what many said he couldn’t. Because he bridges the gap between teens and adults, he doesn’t just relate to both but shares their experiences, fears, and challenges. Stephens’ energetic, informative and down-to-earth presentations draw on his own experience to address generation-specific issues most relevant to people in their 10s, 20s, and 30s.

ISTE 2016 EdTekTalks | Dr. Alex Thornton provides strategies for boosting digital health & wellness

Dr. Alex Thornton taught for seven years in Canada and Boston before shifting his focus to Educational Leadership. As Doctor of Education at RTSG Neuroscience, he brings his expertise in education and school program implementation to the consulting firm’s education related projects and studies. RTSG creates large scale interventions that use exercise to benefit groups of people. Dr. Thornton works in schools to maximize the benefits of physical education. His work has shown that, if done correctly, PE can improve academic performance in other subjects. He also collaborates closely with other educators, researchers and renowned thinkers to bring findings from sleep, nutrition, play, and Neuro/Biofeedback research to educational and organizational settings. His goal is to incorporate findings from neuropsychology into educational practice. Dr. Thornton joined us at the ISTE 2016 Conference EdTekTalks to share his findings on using exercise to change school cultures and optimize student learning. Using EEG and ERP data, he outlined in his talk the ways that exercise promotes attention and brain growth. Just a couple minutes of exercise can help students focus better and retain more information. The other side of the coin, however, is proper sleep. Memory is consolidated during sleep, and as students are getting less sleep than they did in the past—partly due to constant access to the Internet, online games, etc.—they are struggling harder to learn and retain information. Technology, says Thornton, interferes with both exercise and sleep, but also offers ideas and solutions to get more exercise and sleep. For educators and parents, finding the right balance is key to helping students do their best learning.

Starr Sackstein Keynote MassCUE and MASCD Spring Leadership Conference 2017

Starr Sackstein is a nationally board certified teacher who has taught in the NYC public school system for 15 years. Sackstein has written books about assessment reform and student empowerment as well as presenting a TEDx talk about her journey to give up grades. Starr’s Presentation: Empower Students by Engaging them in the Assessment Process Every child has the right to engage in their learning starting from their mistakes straight through to their successes. We must give students the language they need to adequately co-construct and design learning opportunities and then express their own progress and growth in a meaningful way. Students certainly don’t need grades to communicate what they know and can do, they just need the opportunity to share in their own words in the language of the standards to express strengths and challenges. Leveraging Technology to Empower the Whole Child #MALeads17 MassCUE (Massachusetts Computer Using Educators) and MASCD (Massachusetts Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) have joined forces to bring together classroom and educational leaders for a one-day event of powerful presentations, workshops, hands-on sessions, and informal gatherings to address the critical issues of education. Both organizations believe that each child, in each school, in each of our communities deserves to be healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. Thus, this year we will focus on how leaders can leverage technology to reach the whole child.

Israel High Tech News .Israeli startup Interlude raises $ 50 -$ 100 Millions , from Sony

Israel High Tech News .Israeli startup Interlude raises $ 50 -$ 100 Millions , from Sony . Last week Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) announced that it had invested in Israeli startup Interlude. No financial details were disclosed but CEO and cofounder Yoni Bloch has said, “We are talking about tens of millions of dollars.” With offices in New York and Tel Aviv, Interlude is a media and technology company that is pioneering a new kind of video that responds to a person’s emotions and interests. The company has raised $38.2 million to date including an $18.2 million financing round in December 2015 from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Warner Music Group, Samsung, Sequoia Capital and Intel Capital. The company, which has developed the Eko interactive storytelling platform, has 60 employees, half of them in Israel. Bloch, 34, began his musical career when he was 21. He has recorded three albums and produced albums for other singers and even managed a stint as a guest judge on the Israeli TV talent show A Star is Born. Then in 2009 he decided to pursue a career in high-tech and he founded Interlude with CTO Tal Zubalsky and Barak Feldman. The Eko platform changes audience passivity by enabling creators to easily script and craft stories that can be shaped by the viewer based on a range of options and their preferences. Bloch said, “This is a language that most young producers have been waiting for. They have been looking for a new language and through our technology they can realize it.” Globes: What is the aim of the cooperation with Sony? Bloch, “To produce interactive series that exploit technology to tell a story that couldn’t be told in a linear way.” What is new at the company since your last financing round? “The company has grown particularly on the technology side. Our videos play on iPhones and Androids and through virtual reality. Our most recent strategic fund raising ensures that the world’s best quality content producers work and invest in content on our medium.”

Engaging Students in Science with Art, Physics and Literature by Arthur Eisenkraft

Arthur Eisenkraft speaks on Engaging Students in Science with Art, Physics and Literature, as part of the Azim Premji University Public Lecture series January 7, 2014 Arthur Eisenkraft, Distinguished Professor of Science Education, Professor of Physics Director, Center of Science and Math in Context (COSMIC) University of Massachusetts Boston Boston, MA, USA About the Talk For some students, science concepts are fascinating from the outset and the mathematics is a source of beauty. Other students need to enter the world of science through their other interests including sports, transportation, medicine, communications and technology. All students can benefit from an approach that uses art and literature to propel an understanding of physics. Professor Eisenkraft will discuss how working with an artist and drawing from literature has led to a unique approach to engaging students in physics. About the Speaker Arthur Eisenkraft, PhD, is one of America’s leading science educators. For 25 years, he taught high school physics and was a 6-12 science coordinator. He is past president of the National Science Teacher Association and is currently chair of the Science Academic Advisory Committee of the College Board. He is project director of the NSF-supported Active Physics curriculum project that is introducing physics instruction for the first time to all students and leading a similar effort with Active Chemistry. He is chair and co-creator of the Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision Awards, involving 15,000 students annually.

Scott Hebert on Gamification in the Classroom

“There is an engagement crisis in school.” Scott Hebert, a new teacher, in a new school, in a new community, realized there was a problem with the way students were struggling to pay attention in class. He went from being a fourth grade phys ed teacher to being a eighth grade sciences and technologies teacher. The differences in the classrooms were alarming. The younger grade was full of children who were enthusiastic and engaged during class. The new class was filled with older students struggling to pay attention and hold onto the information being given to them. Scott realized his class time was too much of him talking, and too little of the kids doing. So, he gamified. Read more at www.TeacherTechTrials.com

ECO15 London: Impact VC Panel Solarkiosk ClearlySo DOEN Foundation SET Ventures

For the first time, we did a panel about the intersection of impact investing and venture capital at ECO15 London as we believe it is a very important topic and a great opportunity for startups to tap into more sources of capital. A lively discussion emerged between Andreas Spiess (Solarkiosk), Mike Mompi (ClearlySo), Daan Lameris (DOEN Foundation) and Rene Savelsberg (SET Ventures). Most people agree that impact investing is about supporting startups that create environmental, social and economic impact in parallel. Still, there are different personal and and corporate preferences when it comes to putting an impact investing strategy into practice. Some entrepreneurs and investors focus on social impact while others want to create impact by supporting founders in the early stage when less fundraising alternatives are available as the risk is still too high. Agreement was reached that scale plays an important role as we want to create big impact with big startups. At any rate, impact investors and financially driven VCs may actually complement one another very well as they bring different values and skill sets to the table. The founders just have to make sure that values are aligned and the same growth strategy is supported by all investors.

Australian entrepreneur Nick Jenkins is interviewed by experienced venture partner Terry Hilsberg about his lessons learned whilst scaling his start-up in China. Nick’s start-up Language Confidence automates tutoring and spoken assessment with artificial intelligence driven technology. In this clip Nick talks about his background, and why he dropped out of university to pursue his entrepreneurial dreams. He goes on to talk about the nascent stages of his start-up, experiences with the muru-D accelerator program and reasoning behind location choice. Nick also explains the scope of the education market in China, his move from a B2C to B2B model, networking strategies in Chinese business culture, deals currently in negotiation, and developing a competitive differentiation. Some questions answered include: Why did you move to China rather than stay in the Sydney (Muru-D) accelerator? Is there a competitive tension in the Chinese business partnerships (comprising of mainly 5-6 major players)? How do you negotiate a fair deal in China? What personal challenges did you face in China? What advice would you give for entrepreneurs who don’t speak Chinese and want to enter the Chinese market?

Elequin, Honors Thesis (Baylor University) – “Press A+ To Play” – Gamification in Higher Education

Why do students love to play games, but hate to do schoolwork? In his Honors Thesis, 2016 Baylor Graduate Nathan Elequin discusses the unlikely alliance between game design and educational psychology, and the strategies that educators can implement in their learning programs to increase the engagement of their students. FOLLOW THE SLIDESHOW (http://bit.ly/27wRGKN) DOWNLOAD THE FULL THESIS (http://bit.ly/1TGGC3U) READ THE ABSTRACT BELOW: Press A+ To Play: The Emerging Field of Gamification in Higher Education Director: Jason Whitlark, Ph.D. Higher education faces a critical issue with producing and encouraging engagement in and out of the classroom, as students are finding more reasons to dismiss their coursework as a “means to an end” in the game of the degree-grab. Meanwhile, research from the unorthodox and previously-untapped field of game design offers to provide a unique solution to these educational concerns. In short, the newly-emerging field of gamification asks a simple question – how can we make the learning experience more meaningful and fun for the average student? In this expansion on the works of TEDx spokesperson Yu-Kai Chou and New York Times bestseller Jane McGonigal, I argue that game designers possess an invaluable expertise in holding the attention of and creating meaningful experiences for emerging adults. I then dissect the higher educational discipline from the perspective of a game engineer, to discuss and diagnose the critical failings of the institution in exciting and engaging its students. Finally, using Chou’s pioneering Octalysis Framework, I will detail eight strategies for improving learning through a game design approach, concluding with a listed arsenal of engagement tools that be directly-applied to the programming and pedagogy of the classroom. By the end of this thesis, parents, student, educators, and administrators alike will have acquired actionable tools to increasing the enjoyment and engagement of their educational experiences.

Teaser TEDxCELSA – Sortir du cadre

Découvrez le teaser de la première édition TEDxCelsa qui aura le 25 juin 2015, à 19h, dans les locaux de Google France. En septembre 2014, Celsa Paris Sorbonne Alumni, l’association des anciens du Celsa, s’est lancée dans un projet ambitieux : l’organisation d’une conférence TEDx. L’objectif est à la fois de créer un événement fédérateur autour du partage d’idées et d’expériences inspirantes et de valoriser l’école à travers ses anciens étudiants. Le thème de ce premier TEDxCelsa, “Sortir du cadre”, a été choisi avec l’objectif de mettre en valeur la richesse des profils et la diversité des parcours de ceux et celles qui passent sur les bancs du Celsa depuis plus de 50 ans! “Sortir du cadre”, c’est avant tout une invitation : une invitation à OSER. Oser explorer de nouvelles routes, oser préférer l’aventure au confort, ou encore oser être soi en laissant parler ses talents, sa créativité, ses rêves, pour les partager avec d’autres et ainsi, les faire grandir. En capitalisant sur ses acquis et sur les boîtes à outils précieusement composées au fil de ses études et formations, développer son propre itinéraire sur-mesure, unique, bâti selon ses forces et ses faiblesses. “Sortir du cadre” c’est donc aussi, professionnellement comme dans la sphère privée, contourner les sentiers battus, choisir de créer son propre chemin, prendre le risque de répondre à un appel profond. Et c’est presque toujours de l’inconnu que jaillissent les plus grandes richesses. Lors de ce TEDxCelsa, prévu au printemps 2015, sept anciens étudiants du Celsa viendront partager leurs idées, leur vision, chacun en très peu de temps et de manière nouvelle. 12 minutes pour que la magie opère… ©Junior Communication Crédit voix: Charles Flamand Crédit bande son: La Grande Table Productions

Ben Nelson – Rethinking Higher Education. ICERI2016 Keynote Speech

http://iated.org/iceri Universities today are under an enormous amount of criticism and pressure: structures and pedagogical models developed in the 17th and 18th centuries, increasingly higher costs and rising demands for an educated work force in a changing and complex world. Minerva’s founder Ben Nelson talks about the origins of some of these problems, but also offers some disruptive ideas in order to change this situation. He describes a new model of Higher Education based on a redefined student body, a reinvented curriculum, rigorous academic standards, cutting- edge technology and an immersive global experience.

A Few Testimonials

Please view my TEDx talk at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQcc1… This video includes a few students and teachers providing honest feedback relating to the positive impact of Active Learning. www.teachingrocks.com Hello friends, my name is Troy Wittmann, and I want to help teachers engage their students in the learning process. After two decades of teaching, I have discovered one absolute truth: our students want to be active participants in the learning process. Fortunately, the days of “chalk and talk” or the teacher being the lone “sage on the stage” are becoming less prevalent. Today students want and deserve more. An old Native American expression captures this sentiment perfectly: “Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I may not remember. Involve me and I will understand.” I have written a book and completed a video series on Active Learning. The book is entitled: 33⅓ Active Learning Strategies. It comes with a companion set of eight DVD’s and one futuristic, musical CD. The DVD’s contain 33⅓ separate HD videos with an average runtime of 15 minutes. The Active Learning Strategies explained in the book and on the DVD’s can be used from elementary through high school and even for adult learners. All you need to do is adjust the questions and statements to meet your goals and objectives. Of course, these strategies may also be used to address local, state, and Common Core Standards. One specific method of engaging our students that my faith has inspired me with is known simply as the Teachingrocks Time Machine™. I can’t wait to show you how it all works. Thank you, Troy Wittmann Teacher www.teachingrocks.com

Scientix webinar: It’s a Game Changer!

The webinar “It’s a game changer! How to motivate and engage students with game based learning.”took place in the Scientix online meeting room on 13 April 2018 at 17:00 Central European Time. Webinar outline: Calculus is critical to degrees in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), yet it has one of the highest failure rates of any university course, according to the Mathematical Association of America. What’s more, calculus ranked number one on the list of courses most disliked by students, according to College Stats. These alarming trends have educators turning to game-based learning to improve students’ success rates, not to mention their attitudes towards mathematics. Join long-time gaming enthusiast, professor and developer André Thomas and award-winning mathematics teacher Panagiota Argyri to explore ways in which game-based learning can be used to motivate and engage students and push them to go for the epic win, in this case subject mastery. During this webinar, Mr Thomas discusses research in game-based learning and shares tips for utilising games in the classroom. Ms Argyri highlights her experience using Variant: Limits, Triseum’s calculus game, in the STEM Ahead Competition, and European Schoolnet’s Game-Based Validation Study. About the presenters: André Thomas’s passion for game-based learning resonates inside and outside of the classroom. He founded and serves as the director of the LIVE Lab in the Department of Visualization at Texas A&M University, where he also teaches game design, game development and interactive graphics techniques. In 2014, he founded Triseum, where he serves as CEO and leads the creation of its award-winning academic video games. He is an EdTech Leadership award winner, National Academy of Sciences board member, National Arts Education Association lead instructor, and Chillennium Game Jam chair. André also has been invited to speak at numerous education and technology events both in the US and abroad, including SXSW, TEDx, ASU-GSV, BETT and European Schoolnet. His game-based learning insights and ideas are featured in the Huffington Post, Austin Business Journal, eCampus News and Learning Solutions Magazine, to name a few. Previously he was Head of Graphics for EA Sports Football games (including NCAA, Head Coach, NFL Tour and Madden, the longest running and most successful sports franchise in games industry). He also created graphics for such notable films as Men in Black, Con Air, Independence Day, Valiant, Ant Bully and Tomorrow Never Dies. An award-winning mathematics teacher in primary and secondary education, Panagiota Argyri has researched and applied games in her classrooms to inspire students, as well as boost curriculum knowledge and retention. Her commitment to innovation in teaching and learning is exemplified in her work as a tutor for teachers to help them embrace advances in education and as an author of educational and pedagogical materials and scenarios for STEM lessons. She led her students through Europe’s STEM Ahead competition and published numerous science papers both in Greece and across Europe. She is a Triseum Game-Based Learning Teacher of the Year award winner and also participated in the European Schoolnet Game-Based Learning Validation Study. Panagiota holds two Master’s degrees, including a Master of Education in Teaching and Learning Mathematics.

ou 手に乗る宇宙開発: Yuta Komiya at TEDxTitech

Yuta Komiya is a satellite engineer. He was born in Kochi in 1986, and raised in Saitama. During his childhood, Komiya once watched a documentary program about Apollo 13, and he came to admire the NASA Flight Director, Gene Kranz. After that, he developed a strong interest in space program development. He attended Tokyo Institute of Technology, where he was heavily involved in developing micro satellites. At the end of 2011, just before graduation, while he was intensely investigating satellite development and writing his thesis, he found a passion for adult outreach activities. Since then, outside of his work, he has overseen the ‘Komiya Rocket Club’, an “Adult Hangout” that launches model rockets along the Tama River. 小宮 悠太 人工衛星エンジニア 1986年高知生まれ、埼玉育ち。幼いころ、たまたまアポロ13号のドキュメンタリー番組に出てきた、ジーン・クランツに憧れて宇宙開発を志す。ちなみに白いベストは持っていない。 以来、宇宙と関わる進路を選択し続け、東工大にて超小型人工衛星の研究開発に関わる。大学院卒業間際の2011年末、多忙を極める衛星開発と論文執筆のストレスが原動力となり、モデルロケットを使った大人向けアウトリーチ活動に目覚める。 以来現在に至るまで、本職の傍ら、「大人の本気の遊び場」をコンセプトに、多摩川沿いでモデルロケット教室”Komiya Rocket Club”を定期的に開催している。 For more information of TEDxTitech: HP: tedxtitech.com Facebook:/TEDxTitech In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

Tech-Enabled Leadership: Camille Rutherford at TEDxStCatharines

The education community is in the midst of a groundswell of change as technology transforms the learning process at all levels. In addition to disrupting traditional notions of teaching and learning, technology has also had a profound impact on individual and collective leadership within the school. A new genre of tech-enabled leadership that takes advantage of the affordance of technology to enable leadership actions that are open, collaborative and dynamic has begun to appear in many 21st century schools. With a focus on leader influence, tech-enabled leadership transforms the scale and scope of traditional leadership structures to facilitate the distribution of leadership actions to stakeholders that were previously shut out of the leadership process. As these 21st century students graduate with a digital toolbox of technology resources that can be used to affect their leadership influence, the question becomes how will our civic and political institutions react to this generation of tech-enabled leaders? BIO Dr. Camille Rutherford is an Associate Professor of Education at Brock University. As a former classroom teacher and university administrator, her work with teacher candidates, teachers, adult educators and educational leaders explores the use of technology to enhance teaching & learning and transform leadership.

Smart laws | Martyn Dorey & Stephen Ozanne | TEDxStPeterPort

We often accept the terms and conditions of our society without understanding the fine print. Laws consisting of long legal texts, which are full of jargon, govern most of what we do, but they are unyielding and immovable in their nature. Martyn Dorey and Stephen Ozanne believe that we have reached a tipping point where the law now holds us back rather than enabling society to progress and diversify. In contrast, technology is changing at an exponential rate. At Ozoris Martyn and Stephen are reimagining society’s relationship with the law and they are finding new ways to make the law accessible for billions across the globe. Ozoris is creating ‘legal artificial intelligence’ using a breakthrough technology that aims to enable machines to serve the public interest by interpreting laws for themselves and empowering people by giving them affordable and direct access to the law. Its time to rethink the future relationship between the law and the society it is intended to serve. As a co-founder and Chief Technology Officer at Ozoris, Martyn is creating ambitious technology to enable machines to interact with the law; an approach that could improve access to the law for billions around the globe. Martyn is an investment actuary, financial technology entrepreneur, and he has been a specialist in algorithm development for “big data” since 1996. In addition to his role as Chief Technology Officer for Ozoris he is also managing director of Dorey Financial Modelling, and a partner of Lima Insights, a big data business for the construction sector. Stephen is a corporate and commercial lawyer with extensive experience in innovative financial services and technology. He was awarded the Harmsworth Scholarship by the Middle Temple before being called to the Bar of England and Wales and he now regularly advises many businesses that are household names at the specialist firm, AO Hall. As the Chief Legal Officer and a co-founder of Ozoris, Stephen’s vision is to enable machines to interpret laws and contracts so that everyone can have equal access to the legal information that they need.

We need to get the Kiwi philanthropic ecosystem back in balance | Bridget Frame | TEDxChristchurch

When Bridget Frame started wondering about the total impact of philanthropy in New Zealand, she was surprised to find there were no statistics that covered the entire sector. So she developed them herself, spending six months researching publicly available information to pull together a complete picture of the philanthropic ecosystem. What she found — about where philanthropic funding comes from, where it goes, and how it gets there — warrants a collective discussion, about what we value as a society and whether our charitable giving is doing more harm than good. Bridget Frame has almost twenty years experience in corporates, two years with a post-earthquake not-for-profit and two years as a grant maker; she is an active community member through three children. Now, through her own consultancy, she is doing a bunch of interesting things with great people.

The one solution to most problems: Future clarity | Simon Moss | TEDxDarwin

Why does life sometimes feel so hard? Simon shows that many problems in society, from mental illness to crime, can largely be ascribed to one cause: a hazy, uncertain future. Fortunately, recent scientific advances can be applied to help people clarify their future. Dr Simon Moss is an Associate Professor at Charles Darwin University. His primary research interest concerns how characteristics of organizations and societies, such as inequality of income or leadership, influence the brain functioning—and ultimately the mood, creativity, intuition, engagement, honesty, and altruism—of individuals. To investigate these issues, Simon has published a range of books and articles in the fields of leadership, emotion, motivation, and integrity. For example, he is an author of “The negative side of positive thinking”, “Where should I work?”, “The Science of Management”, “Sustainable coaching”, and “Emotional Intelligence: Journey to the Source”.

Education Award Pitch (Winner): From dropouts to innovators | Nathalie Lecina | TEDxAmsterdamED

Nathalie Lecina from Studio Moio tells us that we need drop-outs to change the world! According to her, drop-outs are the best innovators ever, since they do not fit into any preconceived box. They don’t have to think out-of-the-box because they were never in it. For a number of years, Nathalie Lecina worked at the Institute of Societal Innovation (Instituut Maatschappelijke Innovatie) and while there became aware of the fact that the so-called innovators were all somehow ‘part of the system’. Especially after noticing that the education system is failing to motivate people to learn and demotivating them from developing themselves. Her idea could be a hack on the education system, and some other systems at the same time. ‘Drop-outs are the most valuable resource for innovation, especially for innovation in education.’ For more information go to: www.studiomoio.nl Nathalie Lecina is the winner of the TEDxAmsterdamED 2015 Award.

Saving the Silver Bullet: Jaime Casap at TEDxFargo

Education is the silver bullet that has the power to disrupt poverty. It has the potential to break the cycle of poverty in just one generation. At the core of the American spirit is the ability to look at any child, no matter their social status, and say to them, “If you get your education and work hard, you can have the American dream.” It feels like that’s getting harder and harder to say. We are in danger of losing the power and potential of the silver bullet and our very future depends on saving it. Jaime Casap is the Global Education Evangelist at Google, Inc. Jaime evangelizes the power and potential of the web, technology, and Google tools in education.

Education as investment: Engaging the disengaged | David Delmar | TEDxSomerville

Traditional education is an investment opportunity that we ask our young people to make, every morning. Yet from the perspective of an investor, the product is over a century old, with few upgrades and no overhaul. And while the product continues to deprecate, the barrier to entry doesn’t deprecate along with it. The other investors in your community are withdrawing, because too few of them have seen any return. And the product was built with absolutely no regard for the actual needs of the market. So…would you invest? David Delmar is an artist, designer and Founder/Executive Director of Resilient Coders, a volunteer-based program focused on making web technology more available to urban youth who might not otherwise be exposed to it. His mission is to spread code literacy to communities underrepresented in technology by targeting youth who are at-risk or have been caught up in the court system. He believes in the resilience of Boston’s youth and that technology provides an opportunity for true meritocracy. Before launching Resilient Coders, he led a team of designers and coders at PayPal.

Digital Citizenship in the Surveillance State | Wesley Fryer, Ph.D. | TEDxWallerMiddleSchool

The revelations of Edward Snowden about mass surveillance continue to inform discussions about privacy, cyber-security, counter-terrorism and digital ethics. How can these topics fit into discussions about digital citizenship in the classroom? Should we be concerned about the amount of information we freely share with businesses and corporations via social media and settings on our smartphones like location services and even our microphone? What kinds of things should we be aware of as citizens in the surveillance state, and are there issues on which we should be advocates for regulation or limitations on the abilities of both governments as well as businesses to collect and use information about citizens for their own purposes? Dr. Wesley Fryer (@wfryer) is a teacher, author, speaker, and the Director of Technology for Casady School in Oklahoma City.

Seema Bansal: Leap EdTech by TLabs, 2017

Seema Bansal, Director – Social Impact and Development Practice, The Boston Consulting Group spoke about the Massive Gaps in EdTech – Are India’s EdTech entrepreneurs targeting drops or the ocean? “EdTech” has become a buzzword among startups, with companies like BYJU’s launching to incredible success. But tech is not the reality of the majority of India. Though market penetration of mobile phones is on a rise, using technology for education requires far more than just access to a piece of tech. The speakers will tackle some of the largest inhibitors to EedTtech throughout the Indian education system––from the privileged students in Tier 1 cities, all the way to the rural schools in places like Rajasthan. Just because it’s tech-enabled, do students actually learn? Further, BECAUSE it’s tech, does that leave out the majority of India and those who need it most?

More pedagogic change in 10 years than last 1000 years: Donald Clark at TEDxGlasgow

Search, links, media sharing, social media, Wikipedia, games, open source etc. are ground breaking shifts in the way we learn, says Donald Clark.

Learning needs to be disrupted. The way teachers think of themselves as learners needs to be disrupted, and the way we deliver instruction in classrooms need to be disrupted. So how can we disrupt?

With three simple changes we can hopefully create an atmosphere of binge learning in classrooms everywhere – where students learn to love learning again.

Today, perhaps more than ever, it’s vital that we can disagree without being disagreeable. This principle is at the heart of debating. Lewis Iwu, Director of the Fair Education Alliance, argues that debating builds character, confidence and emotional resilience: vital skills for narrowing the education gap. Lewis Iwu read politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford University, where he was elected President of the students’ union. Lewis is an active debating coach, having coached the national teams of Hong Kong in 2006, the United Arab Emirates in 2010 and 2011, and the ESU England schools debating team in 2012. He is a former World Universities Debating Champion. Lewis also helped set up Debate Mate, which teaches debating in more than 240 state schools in some of the UK’s most deprived areas. He is currently the Director of the Fair Education Alliance. The alliance of 55 organisations, including universities, companies and NGOs seeks to tackle education inequality and increase social mobility across the UK.

Gifted, creative and highly sensitive children | Heidi Hass Gable | TEDxLangleyED

Being “gifted” often feels far from a good thing, when you’re the one living it. And yet the myth persists that “gifted” is an elitist and privileged label in education. That “those kids” will be fine without any extra programs or supports. After all, what’s the worst that can happen – they get bored? In reality, many of our most vulnerable learners are those “gifted” kids who know they just don’t “fit it.” In our rush to identify and label children for purposes of funding and organizing our educational services most efficiently, we’re missing the ground level, actionable and everyday needs of an entire grouping of needy kids. Our most gifted, sensitive and creative students are our canaries in the coal mine; they are more sensitive to the world around them and the reactions we see in them can teach us what our education system needs to be, believe, include and stop. As is often the case, what is necessary for some is beneficial to all. Heidi approaches our education system from multiple perspectives. First and foremost, she is the mother of three amazing, gifted, creative and/or highly sensitive children! Heidi also spent almost six years as president of the City of Coquitlam‘s District Parent Advisory Council, attending countless advisory committees and working to build relationships between parents and teachers. And finally, she has worked with many passionate educators as an edtech consultant – participating in technology planning, facilitating dialogue and implementing technology to support student learning, communication and relationship building. She is an idealist, geek and deceptively social introvert. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

AI & The Future of Work | Volker Hirsch | TEDxManchester

The robots are coming. We (as in the people who attend TED talks and things) tend to think we will probably be fine. You know, knowledge folks and all. We might not be. What will be our coping mechanisms? What can we do to be OK? Volker Hirsch is not afraid of placing his faith in concepts that others consider “niche”. He has championed mobile and games for more than 15 years as an angel investor, founder, and advisor. He helped launch the world’s first mobile music services, published games on tiny black and white mobile phones and – damningly – used the term “gamification” as early as 2006. Today his focus is on education, Internet of Things (IoT) and – still – games. Blackberry’s former Global Head of Business Development is now a founder of several companies, including software development house Blue Beck, and IoT venture programme builder Quantified Ventures. He is also a venture partner at leading EdTech accelerator Emerge Education, and the chairman of knowledge content recommendation system Bibblio.

The Future of Universities in a Block Chain World | Diane Sieber | TEDxBoulder

Universities have been central to intellectual and creative discourse for a millennium, and yet during the last two decades, powerful economic, technological and social forces have increasingly challenged their survival. Professor Diane Sieber argues that the future of the university may look very much like its origin: decentralized, just-in-time learning with flexible curricula and outcomes-based rather than credit-hour-based credentialing. In the near future, block chain technology will allow learners to design a personalized education that constellates inexpensive online resources and experiences, and to connect directly with employers through smart contracts. Universities that can adapt quickly will weather this change; others will collapse in the face of accelerating technologies and less expensive alternatives. Diane Sieber is a professor in the Engineering College at the University of Colorado, where she lives in a student residence hall with global engineers who speak many foreign languages. She also inhabits the intersection among information technologies, history, philosophy, literature, online games and punk rock.

Imagine a world where teachers could really understand the way each kid’s brain worked. Imagine that they learn this information from how each kid plays a game. Emmett Stone, a college freshman at Western Michigan University, is working on a way that allows young people to measure their thinking preferences in a game-like format. While working as an intern at FourSight he took a research-based thinking assessment and gamified it in the virtual world of Minecraft.

Redefining Learning & Teaching using Technology. | Jason Brown | TEDxNorwichED

“Did you know that 16% of 8-11 year olds own five or more media devices and 72% of 12-15 year olds own three or more media devices? 51% of households with a child aged between 3 and 15 have a tablet compared to 7% in 2011. No matter where you look, children and students are using technology more and more because it is becoming more accessible. What is the education system doing to respond to this? Does technology have a place in schools? How can technology be used to effectively improve teaching, learning and productivity in the classroom? ” Jason is a Year 13 A level student studying at Wymondham High Academy.
