Click Here To Discover What Men Secretly Want, But They Could Never Tell You. Khan Academy 8 Critical Skills For A Modern Education 8 Critical Skills For A Modern Education by TeachThought Staff Pearson sent us this report recently–Exploring the Learning Curve. The big idea here is the changing skill needs for students globally. It is based on this idea of an index–a Global Index of Cognitive Skills and Education Attainment. The report explains: “The Global Index of Cognitive Skills and Educational Attainment compares the performance of 39 countries and one region (Hong Kong) on two categories of education: Cognitive Skills and Educational Attainment. In short, it is formatted around 6 lessons and 8 skills. “Lesson 1 The OECD estimates that half of the economic growth in developed countries in the last decade came from improved skills. Lesson 2 In recent years it has become increasingly clear that basic reading, writing and arithmetic are not enough. Lesson 3 Lesson 4 Lesson 5 Technology can provide new pathways into adult education, particularly in the developing world, but is no panacea. Lesson 6 1. 2. 3. 5. 6. 7. 8.

How neural networks really work with the real linear algebra: Music by: Show less Review of Galantamine: the Lucid Dreaming Pill So you’re considering the red pill… Galantamine has emerged as THE lucid dreaming pill. This natural supplement has been used for centuries in China as a memory enhancer, and was even noted by the ancient Greeks for its powerful mind-inducing effects. Now we know that galantamine indirectly promotes dreaming sleep as well as lucid dreaming, which is the art of becoming self-aware in your dreams. There’s a lot of hype about galantamine, so I want to cover the basics about how it works on the brain, the studies that have proven its effectiveness, and my personal recommendations for experimentation with this safe and natural supplement. I also want to be brutally honest about some of the mild psychological and physical side effects as well. Want to cut to the chase?

You -- Yes, You -- Are TIME's Person of the Year The "Great Man" theory of history is usually attributed to the Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle, who wrote that "the history of the world is but the biography of great men." He believed that it is the few, the powerful and the famous who shape our collective destiny as a species. That theory took a serious beating this year. To be sure, there are individuals we could blame for the many painful and disturbing things that happened in 2006. But look at 2006 through a different lens and you'll see another story, one that isn't about conflict or great men. The tool that makes this possible is the World Wide Web. And we are so ready for it. And we didn't just watch, we also worked. America loves its solitary geniuses—its Einsteins, its Edisons, its Jobses—but those lonely dreamers may have to learn to play with others. Who are these people? The answer is, you do. Sure, it's a mistake to romanticize all this any more than is strictly necessary. But that's what makes all this interesting.
When Kids Have Structure for Thinking, Better Learning Emerges | MindShift | KQED News Amidst the discussions about content standards, curriculum and teaching strategies, it’s easy to lose sight of the big goals behind education, like giving students tools to deepen their quantitative and qualitative understanding of the world. Teaching for understanding has always been a challenge, which is why Harvard’s Project Zero has been trying to figure out how great teachers do it. Some teachers discuss metacognition with students, but they often simplify the concept by describing only one of its parts — thinking about thinking. Teachers are trying to get students to slow down and take note of how and why they are thinking and to see thinking as an action they are taking. “When we have a rich meta-strategic base for our thinking, that helps us to be more independent learners,” said Project Zero senior research associate Ron Ritchhart at a Learning and the Brain conference. Ritchhart studied 400 students at a school focusing on cultivating a culture of thinking.
7 Useful YouTube Channels for Science Students and Teachers Last month I posted a list of useful YouTube channels for history teachers and students. That list proved to be popular so I thought I'd follow-up with a list of useful YouTube channels, not named Khan Academy, for science teachers and students. The Periodic Table of Videos is a YouTube channel produced by The University of Nottingham. One of the more useful playlists in the channel is The Elements. I covered this a couple of weeks ago, but it's worth mentioning again. Science/Math Concepts with Mr. Bright Storm is a company that I've covered before when writing about online mathematics help. NASA has a few different YouTube channels, but the one that has the most universal utility for teachers and students is NASA eClips. The Open University another resource that I've previously written about in other contexts. Do you have a favorite YouTube channel that should be added to this list?

Real-Time Language Translation With UK Developer’s Own Google-esque Augmented Reality Glasses Real-time translation between an English and Spanish speaker is possible with DIY augmented reality glasses. Think that only the giant Google can make next generation augmented-reality glasses? Think again. A UK developer who has been hacking together his own Project Glass has now expanded its functionality to make a real-time speech translator. The demonstration of his glasses from his website is pretty impressive, as you can see in the video posted to YouTube: The video shows the translations as captions within a few seconds after the other person speaks. Powell has capitalized on his experience in augmented reality as he is also the lead developer at a business services company called Keytree that has developed the Kinect-hacked CEO Vision (which is worth checking out here). Augmented-reality glasses are sure to become the buzz over the next few years, especially with Google suggesting that commercial versions of their Glass would be available in 2013. [Media: YouTube]
What Is The Purpose Of School? What Is The Purpose Of School? by Terry Heick What is the purpose of school? The idea of “work” is present in most modern educational discussion almost entirely under the terms “career readiness.” This itself is an interesting failure, as it implies that the purpose of schooling is to prepare a person for “a job.” And to many, this is head-slapping obvious, following the familiar pattern of going to school, getting a job, and paying the rent. But if we zoom in a bit, we can quickly see moving parts that hint that it’s not so simple. See also: The Characteristics Of A Good School School vs Learning By calling it “school” (rather than learning), and “a job” (rather than work), we’re unwittingly creating a tone of drudgery and compliance that centers the institutions and their processes (grades, academic success and performance), and de-centers the end result (skills–>understanding–>wisdom). (Read Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman or Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis.) But it’s not.

How To Whiten Teeth With Orange Peels Home whitening products and dentist-office treatments are possibilities for whitening, but both are perceived as harsh and expensive. Home remedies for teeth whitening aren't usually based in much scientific research, but anecdotal evidence suggests they may work. Orange peels contain a natural solvent that may help reduce some stains on your teeth. If the orange peel treatment does work for you, it will take a much longer time to see results and is unlikely to remove all stains. Citrus rinds, including oranges, contain d-limonene, a natural scent and solvent. The 2010 study did find that the orange peel compound, d-limonene, was not effective in reducing stains on teeth due to tea drinking. Dr. An orange peel treatment could be an affordable way to try whitening your teeth, says registered dental hygienist Sandy Johnson of Castle Dental.
