Gamestar Mechanic Kant: La ética - Filosofía En el video anterior nos introducimos en la filosofía de Immanuel Kant. En esta ocasión vamos a abordar el estudio de un aspecto de su pensamiento, esto es su postulado sobre la ética, siendo uno de los planteos más importantes sobre dicha temática en la modernidad. Dicho planteo fue desarrollado en dos de sus obras: “Crítica de la razón práctica” y “Fundamentación de la metafísica de las costumbres”. Kant dice que “toda ética debe ser formal”, es decir que debe ser universal y racional, válida para todo el mundo, vacía de contenido (no debe decirnos qué hacer). Para él “un hombre actúa moralmente cuando lo hace por deber”, por eso a la ética kantiana se la denomina deontológica por ser una ética del deber. El deber es la necesidad de una acción por respeto a la ley, es decir someterse como persona a la ley por respeto. Kant habla de tres tipos de acciones: 1.- Contrarias al deber 2.- Conformes al deber 3.- Por deber (las que poseen valor moral). ¿Qué es lo bueno para Kant?
6 Important Wikipedia Tools for Teachers Wkipedia is a great educational resource for both teachers and students. Its articles appear almost always in the first four links of the search results. I know there are some issues with the use of this resource in education such as : plagiarism, trusted content and many more but still instead of excluding it all together we better learn and teach our students the best ways to use it. Everything online has both negative and positive effects and we should always focus on the filled side of the cup. 1- Wikisummarizer WikiSummarizer is an application designed by Context Discovery Inc. 2- The Full Wiki This is a mash-up between Google Maps and Wikipedia articles. 3- Navify This service is a mash-up of Wkipedia, Flickr, and YouTube. 4- Wiki Field Trip This service allows you to explore new places using Wikipedia entries. 5- Video Wikipedia This is an online project to add videos to Wikipedia articles. 6- Wikihood
¿Qué es la ética? - Filosofía La ética es una disciplina filosófica que surge en la antigüedad. Para poder comprender qué es la ética, es necesario pensar como hombres y sobre todo como hombres en sociedad. Como seres humanos en sociedad solemos preguntarnos cuáles son buenos actos, nos preguntamos qué es el bien, qué es el mal. Todas estas cuestiones pertenecen a esta disciplina filosófica denominada ética. Dicha disciplina se ocupa del valor del bien, su naturaleza, su relación con otros valores y “de la fundamentación de las normas morales que rigen nuestras acciones”. La palabra ética tiene una raíz etimológica. Para hablar de ética debemos mencionar a Sócrates, autor de la frase: “conócete a ti mismo”. Otros autores que abordaron el tema de la ética fueron Aristóteles, (quien plantea la felicidad como fin último del hombre), Kant, Hegel, Stuart Mill.
7.2 Metaphors of the Mind 7.2 Metaphors of the Mind In 1980, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson published a book titled Metaphors We Live By (see also Lakoff, 1987; Johnson, 1987) in which they present a strong case that the way in which we perceive and think about a situation is a function of the metaphors we have adopted for and use in that situation. For example, Marshall (1988) has argued convincingly that the dominant metaphor in many schools is "School Is Work." To begin, we want to examine perhaps the most fundamental metaphor of all, our metaphor of mind. 7.2.1 Mind as Computer First is the notion of "mind as computer" (MAC), the basic premise underlying early traditional artificial intelligence, but also much of instructional design and development. 7.2.2 Mind as Brain More recently cognitive scientists have proposed a metaphor of "mind as brain" (MAB), a view variously called connectionism or parallel distributed processing (see, for example, Rumelhart & McClelland, 1986). 7.2.3 Mind as Rhizome
94 Elements | Stories from Hydrogen to Plutonium 7 Habits of Highly Effective Tech-leading Principals Leadership | In Print 7 Habits of Highly Effective Tech-leading Principals By Jennifer Demski06/07/12 Patrick Larkin, principal of Burlington High School in Burlington, MA, started a 1-to-1 iPad initiative in the fall of 2012. The conventional wisdom in education is that any school reform--be it curriculum, instruction, assessment, or teacher professionalism--is most likely to take hold in schools that have strong leadership. "The role of the principal is one of facilitation and modeling behavior," remarks Robert Farrace, senior director of communications and development with the National Association of Secondary School Principals. T.H.E. We then spoke with three highly effective technology leaders among the ranks of principals to see how these habits have led to the successful implementation of educational technology in their schools. 1. The Expert's Perspective: Robert Farrace: "Guiding the culture of the school is one of the most important things that a principal has to do.
New App Tells Teachers When Students Are Confused Much has been said about how connected devices, whether in college lecture halls or elementary school classrooms, can distract students. GoSoapBox aims to show how such devices can also help keep class on track. The startup, which is launching Tuesday, makes a web-based app that serves as a constant back-channel to classroom discussion. Students can use it to post questions about the lecture, vote up questions their classmates have already submitted, set their statuses to "confused," and contribute to polls and questions posted by the teacher. "With the app, students are less likely to get distracted because they’re staying engaged with the material," says GoSoapBox co-founder and CEO John Pytel, who says he got the idea while attending large lectures at Michigan State University. "The questions they have are getting answered." To use the service, teachers pay $15 per month or $90 per year, and 1,300 of them have already enrolled in the free beta program.
