Future of Education Halina MMVC15

My Hopes for the Future Education

"Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another." - G.K. Chesterton

My hope is that teachers will make learning personalized rather than standardized for everyone.
My hope allows to improve students’ creativity and teachers increase that natural curiosity with learners. Curiosity is the basis of innovation. Curiosity will power our world to progress.
My hope is that you charge the power of technology in thoughtful and incredible ways. Applied science can connect everyone, everywhere, at whatever time. We should use it to our advantage.
I hope for everyone to be able to discover the things you are passionate about.
I also hope that you have remarkable, encouraging educators and mentors who try groundbreaking and wild teaching techniques to help you grow as a learner.
My hope is you are ready for the challenges as well as the failure.
Making mistakes is a way to learn. It’s not about the disaster; it’s how you respond to the failure.
And finally my hope is that your school is different from most of the current transactional learning models, where the students are consumers of education.
Lastly, I hope for people to be just educational learners fitted in transformational learning approach with opportunity for active, creative and profound personal development. Education can take place anywhere and at anytime. It is not only about reading, writing, and learning mathematical practices.
Knowledge is wide-ranging. It’s breathing. Learning is the future.

How do you like it?

"I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know" lyrics

NEVER SHOUT NEVER LYRICS

"I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know"

Oh I know that I am here
And you are there but we still have our love
We move just like the moon and sun
The sun comes up the moon rolls down
A world apart but they don't make a sound
They know their love spins us round

I've been to heaven I've been to hell
I've been to Vegas and god knows where
But nothing feels like home like you babe
I love you more than you will ever know

Oh I've got my car and my guitar
A couple pills a couple scars
But I made a wish on a lonesome star
Star oh star you shine so bright
Won't you grant me one small wish tonight
That I wont die on this destructive path of mine

I've been to heaven I've been to hell
I've been to Vegas and god knows where
But nothing feels like home like you babe
I love you more than you will ever know
Than you will know
Dear I love you more than you will ever know

The Dynamic Duo: Music and Language Learning Join Forces

The Dynamic Duo: Music and Language Learning Join Forces

Singing and Speaking Are One and the Same

But the benefits of music for language learners don’t just end with general brain-boosting effects. Oh, no—music and language learning are inextricably linked.
In the first years of our lives, it turns out that our soft, squishy baby brains can’t tell the difference between lullabies and nursery rhymes. Our natural sense for syntax comes from every word we hear in the crib, whether it’s sung or spoken. Music and language are all one and the same for us. Lullabies impact the way we start speaking and, likewise, the speech we absorb impacts our singing and musical sensibilities.

Music Defines You

Even if you don’t consider yourself a music-aficionado, you probably know what you do and don’t like. The type of music we enjoy is strongly connected to our personalities.
No matter what kind of music you like, it’s most likely out there in your target language. Choose to learn with the music you like best, and you’ll give yourself a boost of personal satisfaction and enjoyment. This keeps language learning fun and personalized, as it always should be. That’s what’ll give you the momentum and motivation to keep practicing!

Why Music and Language Are a Dynamic Duo

Put simply: Music is a language. Think about it. Even when there aren’t any words set to a tune (or when the song is accompanied by foreign words that you can’t understand at all), you can still grasp what the tune intends to express. Is it a happy, upbeat song meant to make you smile? A love song that makes your heart flutter? A blues song about heartbreak that conjures up rainclouds around your head?
Bottom line, we can communicate through music. While each culture, society and individual has their own spin on music, music is truly a universal human language. It’s a uniquely beautiful form of human expression. It’s only natural that we want to channel music into our language learning.
There are tons of language and culture lessons that can be learned from the diverse music out there:

• Culture. You’ll start to hear common pairings of types of lyrics with types of music. For example, if you hear the fanfare of a national anthem, you know that the words are meant to express a strong sentiment of national pride. What words does this language use to capture and express this feeling? When I first heard the Ecuadorian national anthem (starting with “¡Salve, Oh Patria, mil veces! ¡Oh Patria,” (We salute you, Oh Homeland, a thousand times! Oh Homeland!), that’s exactly the moment I learned the word “patria,” which is often used by Ecuadorian nationals to describe their country in moments of pride—both in speech and song.

• Syntax. Whether you realize it or not, catchy choruses will teach you word order—so you’ll have the building blocks to branch out and use the language authentically.

• Diverse vocabulary. From lofty, poetic language to hip, trendy slang, music has it all.

• Bilingualism. By listening to bilingual music, you can train your brain to switch quickly and seamlessly between languages. That’s an awesome skill for a language learner to have!

Very inspiring article.
Thank you for sharing. 

Well, computers can't really think, they don't emote, they don't understand poetry, we don't really understand how they work. So what? Computers right now can do the things that humans spend most of their time being paid to do, so now's the time to start thinking about how we're going to adjust our social structures and economic structures to be aware of this new reality.

RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms

This is about how the current educational delivery approach, which has been used in education since the industrial revolution, is failing students, in this, the most exciting and dynamic time in human history.
Ken Robinson clearly identifies how the currently used old world model fails to solve the problems of the current and future world.

What do you think about THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION

We are observing  “a revolution in education.” We know that improving technology play a distinctive role in the evolution, and traditional foundations will face challenges in the future.

I have been looking for initial findings on the future of the 21st-century education.

As a passionate teacher, I am interested how do I best educate my the students?

It is not about what I teach, but about how I teach them.

According to the recent literature, on the subject, today’s education is behind new requirements and technologies.

There is a vibrant debate about preparing teachers to use new technics as well as how up-to-date educators might become more“future-oriented” and familiar with new skills.

I am interested in discussing these thoughts with others.

Certainly, we should take into account the varied nature of education, which is especially significant,  in developing countries.

I do not try to search for a universal remedy of worldwide education with not the same needs. It would be unrealistic.

Although, the future education will become more technically driven, I need to underline that new technology is not going to substitute students in a classroom.

More than that, it will neither replace the social life nor the progress learners they go through as part of their study.

Jacek Kaczmarski Mury

On natchniony i młody był, ich nie policzyłby nikt
On im dodawał pieśnią sil, śpiewał, że blisko już świt
Świec tysiące palili mu, znad głów unosił się dym
Śpiewał, że czas, by runął mur, oni śpiewali wraz z nim

Wyrwij murom zęby krat
Zerwij kajdany, połam bat
A mury runą, runą, runą
I pogrzebią stary świat!

Wkrótce na pamięć znali pieśń i sama melodia bez słów
Niosła ze sobą starą treść, dreszcze na wskroś serc i dusz
Śpiewali wiec, klaskali w rytm, jak wystrzał poklask ich brzmiał
I ciążył łańcuch, zwlekał świt, on wciąż śpiewał i grał

Wyrwij murom zęby krat
Zerwij kajdany, połam bat
A mury runą, runą, runą
I pogrzebią stary świat!

Aż zobaczyli ilu ich, poczuli siłę i czas
I z pieśnią, że już blisko świt, szli ulicami miast
Zwalali pomniki i rwali bruk - Ten z nami! Ten przeciw nam!
Kto sam, ten nasz najgorszy wróg! A śpiewak także był sam

Patrzył na równy tłumów marsz
Milczał wsłuchany w kroków huk
A mury rosły, rosły, rosły
Łańcuch kołysał się u nóg...

Patrzy na równy tłumów marsz
Milczy wsłuchany w kroków huk
A mury rosną, rosną, rosną
Łańcuch kołysze się u nóg...

Over half the class raised their hands.
"And how many completed it?" 
All the hands went down.
