Why You Need To Use Storytelling For Learning

SumoMe I’m sure you’ve heard by now that storytelling can make learning more effective. Stories help us process and remember information. In my desire to become a better storyteller, I attended a session on the subject while at the Presentation Summit, a conference where the topics overlap surprisingly well with the interests of training professionals and learning specialists. Here are the key points I gathered from a session titled, The Art of Storytelling, presented by Jon Thomas. 1. Much of what people remember from a learning experience are the feelings of the underlying message rather than a multitude of small facts (which are better reserved for job aids). 2. Any kind of presentation—whether it be online training or a live presentation—will benefit from a story construction. 3. When we watch or read about a superhero, we always remember the person’s origins. 4. For centuries, people have used stories to pass on knowledge. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Ballistic Flight Equations The study of model rockets, the flight of a baseball, or the "bend" of a soccer kick are excellent ways for students to learn the basics of forces and the response of an object to external forces. A ball in flight has no engine to produce continuous thrust and the resulting flight is similar to the flight of shell from a cannon, or a bullet from a gun. This type of flight is called ballistic flight and on this page we present the equations that describe ballistic flight. On Earth a baseball or a soccer ball generate a moderate amount of aerodynamic drag and the flight path is not strictly ballistic. For ballistic flight, the ball is normally inclined at some angle to the vertical (or horizontal) as it is launched. x = U0 * t In the vertical plane, weight is the only external force acting on the object. -W = F = m a = m dV/dt where W is the weight, m is the mass, V is the vertical velocity, t is the time, a is the acceleration, and F is the net external force. dV/dt = - W/m = -g t = Vo / g

WPClipart Home Page List of concept- and mind-mapping software From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Concept mapping and mind mapping software is used to create diagrams of relationships between concepts, ideas, or other pieces of information. It has been suggested that the mind mapping technique can improve learning and study efficiency up to 15% over conventional note-taking.[1] Many software packages and websites allow creating or otherwise supporting mind maps. File format[edit] Using a standard file format allows interchange of files between various programs. Free and open-source[edit] The following tools comply with the Free Software Foundation's (FSF) definition of free software. Freeware[edit] The following is a list of notable concept mapping and mind mapping applications which are freeware and available at no cost. Proprietary software[edit] The table below lists pieces of proprietary commercial software that allow creating mind and concept maps. See also[edit] References[edit]
