?? How should we learn in schools

?? How should we learn in schools How should we learn in schools? Wanis Kabbaj, a transportation expert, tells us how he imagines a future transport system, in which there are no traffic lights, no lanes, no speed limits and modular cars. Where did he get these ideas? Biology. Our veins and arteries.Watch the TED talk which inspired this article, here.Kabbaj suggests that the best way to find a solution to the lack of space in our cities and the unsustainable pressures on our road networks, is to look to the lessons we can learn from the 60,000 miles of blood vessels inside each of us (which is two and a half times the Earth's circumference, by the way). It seems obvious to look to this as a source of a potential solution, now he has pointed it out at least, but something I know that I would never have thought of.Is this a failing of mine? Probably. But is it one I share with others and, if so, why?It seems to me that, whilst I don't imagine everyone being able to conceptualise artery-like transport networks, this way of thinking is limited by our subject-specific approach to learning, which is prevalent in our modern education system within schools.We are all familiar with the lessons we sat in maths, English, science, geography and so forth. The linear paths of knowledge set out within these subjects are clearly beneficial for teachers and students in the way they allow for knowledge to be built upon over time, moving from the foundations of basic concepts to the intricate awnings of more complex theories. These pathways are clearly important for learning, but should they be the only structure afforded to learners?If children and y oung people are never given the opportunity to refer to learning from other subjects and combine approaches, why would they start doing so as adults? It is true that some students will develop these skills naturally, but should they not be ones that we deliberately foster in our students?Life is rarely split into segmented sections of knowledge, which are applied independently of skills acquired from other disciplines. In schools, however, there is little cross-over between subjects and children are, therefore, not given the opportunity to amalgamate the understanding they have built in geography and science, maths and design, German and art, or in all of the above (okay, so that would be a crazy project, but you can take my point).Many of you, I know, will be screaming out that this sounds like a call for the pendulum to swing back to the project-based learning of yesteryear. It is not. Clearly, as I have already stated, subject-specific learning allows for an important framework f or teaching. But perhaps the pendulum can swing too far in the other direction, if we entirely miss the value this project approach affords to students.Many schools have seen this as a problem and have adapted interesting approaches to reinstating cross-discipline thinking into the curriculum. Google is famous for it's 20% time, in which workers are given a fifth of their working hours to embark upon projects of their choosing. As a teacher at Bradway Primary School, we trialled 20% time with Year Five children, giving them two afternoons a week to work on their own initiatives. Of course, unlike Google, there was a little vetting of the ideas, as we were well aware of the likelihood of some 'less-than-educational' ideas. One group designed and made a Lego chess set.I was, however, astounded at the scale of the children's ambition and the marvellous projects they undertook, which included:A working chess set designed and made out of lego.A paper mache scale model of the solar system.A rally car race planned across Africa.They were asked to present their ideas for sign-off, and had to pitch them to teachers before being allowed to get going. Resources were sourced by themselves, or requested at least 24 hours before the next lesson, demanding project management and co-operation between team members.By allowing children the freedom to choose their own projects, they were wonderfully excited about the afternoons.Most importantly, it gave the pupils a chance to pull together their knowledge from all of their learning and combine it to solve problems or develop new concepts of their own.Some of the projects were dismal. I won't rose tint the picture, as this certainly wasn't an escape from planning or mark ing - these afternoons were some of my most tiring as a teacher! But those who struggled, were the children who had not developed the skills of independent thinking which our modern world demands of them.And it was not always the children who did well in individual subjects who flourished - after all, those children had learnt best in a more structured setting.I am not suggesting that every teacher now starts to give children 20% time, or that we rush to find similar initiatives to launch in every school. Perhaps, however, we should all be contemplating the opportunities we afford children to be freer in their thinking?If we continue to focus solely on the subjects we are individually responsible for, or seek to neatly box ideas as being subject-specific, we miss out on the beauty of the solutions more creative, interdisciplinary thought can achieve. And then who will design our artery-like driverless cars of tomorrow?

French @ Italki Challenge halfway there!

French @ Italki Challenge halfway there! Siskia L. runs a popular language learning blog called The Polyglotist and is taking part in our New Years Language Challenge to learn French. We found this great post about her experiences with the language challenge and wanted to share this with other Challengers!  Reprinted with permission. Original post here. Incredibly, last Thursday I did my 12th hour of French for the italki Language Challenge (out of 20 required to complete it). More incredibly, I also got pretty sick this very week, so I didn’t actually do as many hours as I had expected to. Anyway, here’s… A QUICK UPDATE I think it’s the first time I’ve put such intensity into one language. I don’t mean to say I’m more interested in French than I’ve been in any of my other languages (both serious attemps and light dabbling), but since I started this language I’ve progressed in a very natural way. Putting in one hour of conversation and anywhere between 30 min and 3 hours of self-study into this project just feels right. This reminds me that as of late, I’ve been more conscious about my study hours than usual. This is not because I suddenly felt I should be more mathematical about my study methods, but rather because I am currently participating in the 6 Week Challenge, which requires its participants to log their study hours through a Twitter bot. In the beginning I thought this wouldn’t really influence me to study any more or any less than I was in the first place, but the effect of participating in what’s in essence a “race” has been quite interesting in the sense that knowing I’m in this with other people stimulates me to try harder. I’m not so interested in knowing in what place I am currently (although it’s fun to race other people learning my language as well, haha) rather than knowing how I’m distributing my study hours, doing what, and how. All these things one can keep track of through the challenge, so it’s good statistical data. Partly because of participating in this challenge, partly because I’ve realized structure and form lead to better results, I’ve been trying to improve the way in which I administer my time and agenda. (Not that I did a very good job at that this week, what with work and school and more work and feeling pretty damn under the weather, but anyhoo…) TALKING THE TALK! I’m actually talking in French for about 75-80% of my italki sessions, only going back into Spanish or English when I am absolutely at a loss for words: I’ve noticed that this isn’t when I try to use regular words: for the most part, it’s when my mind tries to translate a colloquial expression from English into French. Unless I’ve heard that expression before and know its French equivalent, my brain’s language monitoring center usually goes on full blown red alert and tells me not to use that expression. I have got to stop being so cautious and just dive in. I know better than anyone that making these particular mistakes is essential for the learning process, but old habits die hard. The funny part is, this doesn’t happen with regular words, only with expressions where I mean to imply something figuratively or where cultural references come into play. Speaking of words, I’ve noticed two interesting things about my French: my source for words I haven’t heard before tends to be English (knowing that a good deal of the English lexicon derived from French), while my reference for correct French grammar tends to be Italian. By this I mean that when I speak in French and try a new word I haven’t used before, my first impulse is to look for it in my mental English database, and only when I notice the word doesn’t sound French, do I look for it in a dictionary. While I’m hard pressed to say this always works, several English words have turned to be the same in French, so while I build a better lexicon in this language, this may not be a bad method to keep the conversation in French territory (instead of jumping back into English every so often) . My theory now is that as a language student, one will use whatever one’s got in the pantry to hold on to the language while at the same time creating a more accurate linguistic base through classes, study, tutoring, etc. Maybe that’s the reason why we tend to translate our thoughts literally? SO MANY RESOURCES, SO LITTLE TIME… After some hits and misses, I’ve run into incredibly good teachers that focus on monitoring both my vocabulary and pronunciation. Getting the pronunciation right has been a gruelling task, and I’m incredibly far from having it down pat, but at least I’m being pointed in the right direction all the time. Probably one of the things I’m enjoying the most about this language project is the HUGE resources gap between French and my last language, Nahuatl. After spending most of 2014 pretty much doing detective work, looking everywhere for hints of where to learn Nahuatl and how, finding self-study resources in French is turning out to be a walk in the park. Right now I’m enjoying several different listening-comprehension resources. I’m planning to summarize the best and most effective ones in a later post, but here’s just a little bite of what I would recommend to anybody wanting an ear-workout in French: Apprendre le français avec TV5MONDE and 7 jours sur la planète: level-graded videos, with transcripts, exercises and explanations of recent, up-to-date and useful vocabulary. 7 jours has an app (available for both iOS and Android), excellent for taking your comprehension exercises on the road. FluentU: although officially in beta right now, it’s an excellent video-based resource to listen to French (also available for Chinese, Japanese, German, Spanish and English). It’s based on phrase-by-phrase video segments, using a type of “subtitle” technology that stops the video when you hover over a word you don’t know. It also has vocabulary exercises available, and when you use these, the system remembers what words you remember and what you don’t. Since these are saved in your account, your word database applies to all the videos in the system, meaning that the system is able to suggest videos perfect for your vocabulary level! Français Authentique: this is a very complete site and I honestly recommend Johan’s learning materials to ANYONE, but the part that I use the most is his podcasts. In these, he explains complex concepts and ideas in slow, easy-to-understand French, and they’re available completely free of charge in his website and in the Podcast section of Itunes. Well, that’s it for now. I have several very interesting ideas and projects lined up for The Polyglotist, and I’d love to share them with you… but not yet! ;D French @ Italki Challenge halfway there!

What Type of Science Is Chemistry?

What Type of Science Is Chemistry?Chemistry is a very interesting science that deals with the nature of atoms and molecules. It deals with the properties of all the atoms, molecules and a single nucleus in the matter. It also covers many other properties, which are not just limited to atoms, molecules and nuclei. And chemistry is the only branch of science, which is the basis of all other sciences.Chemistry is the subject that has been around for centuries. It is very popular as a subject, even today. It has existed since before recorded history. It is the oldest of all sciences in the modern sense of the word.A particular experiment might be performed to make the properties of a substance, to ascertain its chemical structure. Then this material is subjected to tests, in order to determine whether it is a gas or liquid. The process of testing can be of two types. They can be a chemical test, or radiometric test.It is necessary for the students to understand some common and similar qu estions in relation to the subject. There are other related questions, that you must answer, if you wish to study this subject at school. The type of chemistry that you learn at school will decide your future.It is very important to know that every science has many sub-types. Chemistry is one of them. Once you are into chemistry, you will never leave it, unless you join a graduate school.Another aspect that you must know is that science in general, is very essential, because it is responsible for producing a whole lot of things in the world. Chemists are the ones who discovered the principle of evolution. Some of the other scientists have discovered the origin of life, the atomic theory of matter, the formation of stars, life on earth and so on. The list can go on. If you want to become a chemist, the training provided by the school should be of great importance.You need to study the subject, if you want to qualify for a doctorate in the science. Many universities now offer training for various subjects, in order to provide high quality education to their students.

What Is Biology? - Do I Have to Know This Before Writing an AP Biology Essay?

What Is Biology? - Do I Have to Know This Before Writing an AP Biology Essay?After studying AP Biology and Chemistry, students must understand the concepts of Biology. This includes the definition of a cell, the chemical structure of cells, and how cells interact with each other to form living organisms. Students should also be able to work with their teachers in the classroom on a daily basis in order to better understand the course material.There are many different definitions of Biology, some of which will be used throughout the course of the course. When writing an AP Biology essay, it is important to remember the scientific terminology that will be used. By using scientific terms, students will be able to understand what is being said more easily. Also, by utilizing scientific terms, the topic will be much easier to remember.Biology deals with the study of the structure and function of living organisms. A good example of this is that the study of living things can be used to cur e diseases and help people in ways we cannot even imagine. Animals have been designed for many different purposes, and have been able to overcome many obstacles in order to stay alive. The way they survive is due to their ability to adapt and to survive.Biology can be done in many different ways. Students may have to think about it as many different ways, and come up with several different answers for every question they can think of.

What is it Like to Attend the United States Naval Academy

What is it Like to Attend the United States Naval Academy Cole is an Atlanta-based tutor specializing in math tutoring, science tutoring, and a number of other subjects. He earned his bachelors degree in aerospace engineering from the United States Naval Academy in 2015. See what he had to say about his experience there below: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Cole: Navigating the United States Naval Academys campusor better known as Yardis easy due to the relatively small size of the campus. The Naval Academy is considered a military installation, so gates surround the property; however, the campus is only a short walk from the heart of downtown Annapolis, Maryland. Due to the small size of the campus, academic buildings are within a ten minute walk from the dormitory, which makes cars and bikes unnecessary for students. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Cole: The Naval Academy is fairly unique in that professors are hired to teach as opposed to completing research. This means that the emphasis remains on the students, which is reflected by their dedication to aid students success. At about a 20:1 student-teacher ratio, class sizes are very small in comparison to normal colleges. In addition to the class sizes, teachers are flexible with their schedules and will work with students to actively correct any deficiencies. These two qualities enhance the undergraduate learning experience. As is similar with many colleges, the role of academic adviser is performed by teachers. Another great quality about the academics is the fact that no teaching assistants are hired. Furthermore, a student can communicate directly with a teacher about any problems. How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Cole: The academic and military aspects of the Academy are very different. Students will be expected to effectively juggle military and academic responsibilities. That being said, dorm life is vastly different than many civilian colleges. All students must reside in the main dormitory named Bancroft Hall. The layout of the dorms is probably fairly similar to civilian dormitories; however, students are required to reside in Bancroft the entire four years. Because the school is government-funded, students will be expected to attend breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the main dining hall. Students will also be required to attend other military obligations that occur sporadically throughout the week. While this all may seem strict, there are still plenty of opportunities for students to socialize; many clubs meet during the evening. Unfortunately, students are not allowed to leave the campus during the week, so socialization is confined within the gated area (it is still relatively large). Which majors/programs are best represented and supported? Cole: While STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) majors are the most supported at the Academy, many pursue Humanities degrees. Prospective students should keep in mind that everyone graduating from the Academy will fulfill the requirements for a Bachelors of Science; furthermore, regardless of your declared major, a student will be required to take several STEM related courses. These include: calculus, physics, engineering, and computer science. I personally studied Aerospace Engineering (AE) because I wanted to become an engineer and thought that AE was a unique challenge. I would say that, overall, the STEM programs are exemplary compared to other colleges. From the caliber of the teaching staff to the available technology, I was impressed by my academic experience. How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Cole: The Academy is structured hierarchically. This means that freshmen are considered the most subordinate in comparison to the rest of the classes. This can be daunting for students who were not aware of this before attending the school. Freshman yearor better known as plebe yearis especially difficult because ritualistic tasks create an environment of stress. Plebe year is designed to indoctrinate students with a sense of military understanding and respect. Let me be clear: prospective students should do research before applying to understand if this school is a good fit. For some this is not the best fit, but for others, the Naval Academy will open some incredible doors. That being said, plebes will generally form great bonds with roommates and teammates. Unfortunately, Greek life is not allowed at the Academy. Regardless, students will form lasting bonds going through this program. How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services? Cole: Students that attend the Naval Academy will receive a free four-year education in return for five years of obligatory service. Students will commission as Naval or Marine Corps officers upon graduation and can be assigned to a variety of communities. Within the Navy, these can include Surface Warfare, Submarines, Aviation, SEALs, or EOD. For those that join the Marine Corps, they will receive assignments upon successful completion of follow-on training. One of the best advantages of attending the Naval Academy is the opportunities that come after leaving the service. With professional leadership and technical experience, many employers prefer Naval Academy graduates over other candidates. How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Cole: Many students will study in the library or academic buildings. The library provides a relaxing atmosphere and features a coffee bar for late-night studying. Other academic buildings are also open at night if the library becomes too crowded. Describe the surrounding town. Cole: The Naval Academy campus sits adjacent to downtown Annapolis, which is a city that is rich in history. From the Academy, the Chesapeake Bay and other maritime activities can be observed and enjoyed. Not only is Annapolis a quaint, yet excitable town, it is conveniently located halfway between Baltimore and Washington D.C. Downtown D.C. can be easily reached without a car if a student wants to go on a day trip. Prospective students should understand that venturing outside the gates is only authorized during the weekend, and that this policy is strictly enforced. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Cole: The student body is comparably small to many civilian universities. With only about 4,500 students enrolled, prospective students can expect to be in classes with a 20: 1 student-teacher ratio. As aforementioned, this small classroom size allows a student to interact directly with the teacher when a concept is misunderstood. In addition to the small classroom size, my experience has shown that teachers are generally flexible with their schedules. These are some great perks when considering academic performance. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Cole: One of my most memorable experiences occurred throughout my Senior Design class. For our Capstone (term) project, we built a satellite that would communicate with us in space. Myself and several other colleagues built the housing structure, integrated the radio transponder unit, and organized the chip boards within the small container. It was really interesting to view the final project and realize that our small device would not only be in space, but that it would be communicating with us on Earth!
