Education Automation (1962) Education Automation, Freeing the Scholar to Return to His Studies Foreword by CHARLES D. TENNEY SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY PRESS, CARBONDALE AND EDWARDSVILLE FEFFER & SIMONS, INC., LONDON AND AMSTERDAM Copyright 1962 ISBN 0-8093-0137-7 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 62 - 17620 My feeling about today’s meeting with you is first, that it is a tremendous privilege as a human being to stand with other human beings who are concerned fundamentally and deeply, as you are, with the process and further implementation of education and to be allowed to disclose to you what I think I have discovered regarding education’s trending evolutionary needs. Because President Morris has mentioned it in his introduction of me to this meeting, let me begin with some of my own student experiences at Harvard, for what I have to offer to you today springs from my several educational experiences. Out of college, I went to work and worked hard. My experience is now world-around.
The Self Organised Learning Environment (SOLE) School Support Pack Samples of Student Work: Example 2 February 27, 2012 1:29 pm Sugata Mitra’s most recent publication Beyond the Hole in the Wall: Discover the Power of Self-Organized Learning (TED Books), available via Amazon as a Kindle e-book, introduces the concept of a Self Organised Learning Environment (SOLE). This document is designed to support the implementation of Sugata Mitra’s SOLE into multiple school contexts. It contains ‘whole school’ related information for Head Teachers and senior staff in addition to teaching and learning support for teachers and support staff. 1. What is a SOLE? In this document, ‘Self Organised Learning Environment’ refers to the adaptation of a school space to facilitate Enquiry Based Learning. Although Mitra’s research contains designs for specially designed SOLEs, for most schools a SOLE will constitute a classroom, a set of laptops and a teacher willing to experiment with a different teaching style. 2. How should a School go about setting up a SOLE? Staffing 3. 4.

10 XQ Super Schools Announced: Leading the Way in Rethinking High School The XQ team saw the massive opportunity to make a difference for every young person in America. As the challenges in our world change faster than ever, too often our schools aren’t changing fast enough to help students meet those challenges. XQ invited teams to engage in a Discover-Design-Develop process, learning together through knowledge modules and well-architected design. After several phases that processed over 700 applications, 10 Super Schools were announced. Those who dedicated their time, expertise and energy to #RethinkingHS were rewarded not only with Super School funding to make their dreams a reality for young people, but also with a very unique reveal process. Involved in the announcements were President Obama, MC Hammer, Malala, Arne Duncan, and more. With deep respect for the Super Schools, it is important to note that XQ — by design — is not only about the challenge: it is about a movement to improve education to better serve students.

The annual plan construction set It's that time of year, when big companies race to put together their annual plan for the coming year. These documents, even though they're now digital, involve thousands of hours of analog meetings and discussion and compromise. To save you time, here's a simple list you can use. Just pick one or more phrases, string them together using words like, "using," and a bit of reconjugation and you're on your way. The problem with plans created by committees is that they are built on vague. That's because vague is safe, and no one ever got in trouble for failing to meet a vague plan.
Engines for Education - Welcome Self Organised Learning Environment Knowing is obsolete. Teachers may no longer be needed. Could it be that you don’t need to go to school at all? If you’ve watched Sugata Mitra’s TED talks, you’ll have heard him deliver these and other similarly provocative statements that challenge the notion of school as most people know it. Wherever his work is mentioned, responses range from highly positive to even more highly critical to quite rude. My favourite line from his ‘School in the Cloud’ TED talk is this: “It’s not about making learning happen, it’s about letting it happen”… THIS is the key. Whether or not you choose to believe that schools will change (or, gasp, become obsolete); whether you believe that teachers are instructors, facilitators, guides or not required at all… Are you ready to acknowledge that children are able to learn by themselves? Have you taken steps to release control and encourage your students to take ownership of their learning? Are you ‘letting learning happen’?

Station Rotation Model: Grouping Strategies The Station Rotation Model is a blended learning model where students rotate through a series of online and offline stations. This model is an easier shift for elementary teachers who are already use learning stations with students. Unfortunately, most secondary teachers do not learn how to design lessons using stations in credential school. Most of us are still be trained to teach using a whole group lesson model, so reimagining a lesson to rotate students through a series of stations feels daunting. That said, there are clear advantages to using this model at the secondary level. It makes it possible for secondary teachers to: Create smaller learning communities within the larger class.Maximize limited technology since they do not need a device for every student.Work directly with small groups of students.Shift the focus from them to their students. When I train teachers on the Station Rotation Model, they are quick to ask how I group my students. Mixing it up is key! Stealth Grouping
Photo Manipulation - 40 Examples of Incredible Photo Manipulation Photo manipulation is an ever evolving collaboration between photography and graphic design. Combining certain elements to create a unique image, that can convince even the most experienced set of eyes, requires a very creative set of skills. Because the manipulation of a photo gives a realistic view of an unreal picture, you should have an open mind when gathering ideas on how to get creative with your images. Photo manipulations are a great source for inspiration, generally because designers are able to express their creativity through various aspects of design. Several of the following images contain illustrative elements, while others display a more realistic approach. So here are 40 of the most incredible examples of photo manipulation. Which ones are your favorites?
