Interview: Zygmunt Bauman: “Social media are a trap” | In English Zygmunt Bauman has just celebrated his 90th birthday and taken two flights from his home in the northern British city of Leeds to get to an event in Burgos, northern Spain. He admits to being tired as we begin the interview, but he still manages to express his ideas calmly and clearly, taking his time with each response because he hates giving simple answers to complex questions. Since developing his theory of liquid modernity in the late 1990s – which describes our age as one in which “all agreements are temporary, fleeting, and valid only until further notice” – he has become a leading figure in the field of sociology. His work on inequality and his critique of what he sees as the failure of politics to meet people’s expectations, along with a highly pessimistic view of the future of society, have been picked up by the so-called May 15 “Indignant” movement in Spain – although he has repeatedly highlighted its weaknesses.

Growth in Flipped Learning Infographic Blended Learning Infograpics Flipped learning is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter. The Growth in Flipped Learning Infographic presents some interesting facts and stats that show how flipped instruction has expanded during the past two years.

Articulos.claves: ¿Salir de la crisis?, de Manuel Castells en La Vanguardia Y si no hubiera salida? Al menos con el modelo económico actual. Algo que se reconoce al repetir por doquier que “ya nada será igual”. Las medidas de austeridad aprobadas por el Gobierno español a instancias de la UE y Estados Unidos señalan el fracaso de las tradicionales políticas keynesianas de aumento del gasto público para compensar la caída de la demanda privada debido a la restricción del crédito. ¿Y ahora qué? Podría pensarse en nuevas formas de relación entre economía y sociedad. Y aquí es en donde tenemos las carencias más graves. Nos hemos quedado en apretar unos pocos botones de acción sobre la economía y cuando ninguno funciona vamos poniendo parches esperando que nos salve el mercado, esa nebulosa impredecible que se resiste a modelizaciones basadas en supuestos arbitrarios. ¿Por qué no compensar la bajada de salarios reduciendo horas de trabajo, con criterios pactados con los sindicatos? ¿Congelar pensiones? En fin, el aumento de la productividad es la clave. Comentario :

The concept has turned out to provide a useful perspective on knowing and learning. A growing number of people and organizations in various sectors are now focusing on communities of practice as a key to improving their performance.This brief and general introduction examines what communities of practice are and why researchers and practitioners in so many different contexts find them useful as an approach to knowing and learning. What are communities of practice? Note that this definition allows for, but does not assume, intentionality: learning can be the reason the community comes together or an incidental outcome of member’s interactions. The domain: A community of practice is not merely a club of friends or a network of connections between people. It is the combination of these three elements that constitutes a community of practice. Where does the concept come from?
Manuel Castells: “Es fundamental saber qué es lo que está pasando en la mente de nuestros niños hoy” « C o n e X i o n e s - La Coctelera El sociólogo catalán Manuel Castells visitó hace algunas semanas Argentina y participó en una conversación con el equipo de www.educ.ar - el portal educativo trasandino que ahora es gerenciado por Alejandro Piscitelli, a quien conocí como profesor de mi postgrado. Castells habla aquí del impacto Internet en la educación, las nuevas maneras de aprender, la cultura destellar y lo que está pasando con las tecnologías móviles. Puedes leer la entrevista o ver y escuchar el video. Según Piscitelli "la presencia de Manuel Castells en la sede de educ.ar, diez días atrás, seguramente quedará como un hito imborrable en su desarrollo. ¿Quién es Manuel Castells? Sociólogo y profesor universitario español, catedrático de la Universidad de California, Berkeley, donde impartió clases durante 24 años, y en la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) en Barcelona (donde vive actualmente), son sólo algunas de las actividades de su destacada trayectoria por las grandes universidades del mundo.

Five-Minute Film Festival: TED Talks for Teachers This week's announcement of a new initiative called TED-Ed caused a flurry of excitement about the new videos TED is creating to spread powerful lessons beyond the classroom walls. It's not just a new home for education-related TED videos; it's a call to action -- anyone can nominate an outstanding teacher or suggest a fantastic lesson, and the TED team will work with the educators chosen to record and then animate those lessons. You can already see the first few of these gems on the TED-Ed YouTube Channel. Though it can sometimes feel challenging to find twenty minutes to sit still in our multi-tasking lives, the videos below are worth it. Video Playlist: TED Talks for Teachers Keep watching the player below to see the entire playlist, or view this playlist on YouTube. More Resources for Teaching with TED You can find many articles with lists of great TED Talks for learning, for teaching, and for just plain compelling viewing.
See inside Buckingham Palace as Google and YouTube take the public on a 3D tour Visitors can stand at the bottom of the grand staircase and, although not able to move, have an almost 360-degree view of the architectural wonder. They can also look down the picture gallery at the Old Masters such as Canaletto hanging on the walls, then turn around to see paintings behind them. Other highlights include tours of the lavishly decorated Green and White drawing rooms and the ballroom - where knighthoods and OBEs are presented by the Queen during investitures - all accompanied by a virtual tour guide. It follows similar "indoor Streetview" projects which have taken visitors inside the British Museum, Royal Shakespeare Company and galleries around the UK. Google is behind the project and it has created a similar experience for schools under its Expedition pioneer programme, but instead of having a virtual guide, teachers dictate the tour and highlight interesting topics for pupils.
