Great post from Pat Hensley
I always set up the first couple of weeks with lots of small assignments that I know the students can complete successfully. At first, even they are surprised at these small successes. In fact, I know they are scared to believe in them and expect that this was just a fluke. [...]

Project Based Learning Motivates Students to Learn

“We teach numbers, then algebra, then calculus, then physics. Wrong!” exclaims the Massachusetts Institute of Technology mathematician Professor Seymour Papert, a pioneer in artificial intelligence. “Start with engineering, and from that abstract out physics, and from that abstract out ideas of calculus, and eventually separate off pure mathematics. So much better to have the first-grade [...]

Yes, both corporate trainers and professors absolutely have to address the implications and opportunities of Web 2.0
But the contexts and cultures of corporate training and higher education are so vastly different.

This video was created by Prof Wesch and the 200 students enrolled in ANTH 200: Introduction to Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University, Spring 2007.

List of Characteristics of Highly Creative People
Posted in Learning, tagged motivation to learn, student engagement, Student Learning, student motivation on July 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Instead, science was often taught as a series of formulas and facts to be memorized; as something [...]
Why Do Students Lose Enthusiasm About Formal Learning the More Time they Spend in our Schools?
