Teachers have become repeaters of information. Teacher Infographics. Students love rich useful feedback. But, what exactly do they want and need from the instructor? Here are a few questions I have been asked by students, and ways to respond. Feedback Q & A Like this: Science Education - All Issues. MIT educator stresses need to integrate arts and humanities in science education - National Higher Education. In the past 50 years, technology development has changed the way elementary school children learn, in large measure thanks to a national emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics learning, or STEM.
MIT Science Educator Dr. Eric Klopfer would like for schools to consider adding a vowel to this acronym, the letter ‘A,’ for the “arts.” In an Oct. 17, 2014, interview, Dr. Klopfer explained the need to incorporate arts and humanities to develop more well-rounded students to prepare them for college study and future careers.
Why 21st century skills are not that 21st century. Whenever I hear anyone talk about preparing students for the 21st century, I am always sceptical.
Partly this is because it is never made clear exactly what is so different about the 21st century that requires such different preparation. For the American organisation Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21), which is sponsored by a number of multinational corporations, the four important 21st century skills are ‘critical thinking and problem solving; communication, collaboration; and creativity and innovation.’ Ten Skills for the Future Workforce.

Mohamed Amine Chatti’s Knowledge Management: A Personal Knowledge Network Perspective. Here are some abstracts that I would like to quote: Knowledge ecologies are thus self-controlled and self-contained entities. Knowledge ecologies lacked a shared repertoire and are thus open and distributed knowledge domains.The result of participation in a knowledge ecology is a restructuring of one’s PKN, a reframing of one’s theories-in-use and an extension of one’s external network with new tacit and explicit knowledge nodes; i.e. people and information (external level)Knowledge ecology is a more general concept than intensional networks.In essence, a knowledge ecology is a complex adaptive system that emerges from the bottom-up connection of PKNs.
