Could Storytelling Be the Secret Sauce to STEM Education? In the short story “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas,” author Ursula Le Guin describes a utopian city that has everything people want or need — beauty, religion, happiness — but it’s all possible because one child is kept in the dark, separated from all joy and light. Citizens of the city have to go and see this boy, but some can’t take the guilt and walk away. After reading the story, Lev Fruchter and his class talk about what elements make up utopia and use the conversation as a jumping-off point to talk about equations. They talk about adding good things and multiplying them if they’re really great or, inversely, subtracting things that make people unhappy and dividing the really bad elements. This is all a way of thinking about the math that will eventually run a computer program. Fruchter loves words, but is comfortable enough with math and science that he was called upon to teach them. “I’m a narrative learner,” said Fruchter.
Comment les outils numériques impacteront la salle de classe en 2017 ? Avec l’apport des TIC, la salle de classe connait des bouleversements conséquents. L’enseignement moderne subit des changements importants et réguliers, notamment en raison du développement constant des technologies. Aujourd’hui, ce ne sont pas uniquement les technologies et les outils qui se transforment, mais nous assistons également à l’émergence de nouveaux modes d’usage, notamment de la part des enseignants et des enfants. Cela contribue fortement à l’amélioration des approches pédagogiques, des méthodes d’enseignement et des dispositifs en classe. Ainsi, la salle de classe change également en devenant un outil technologiquement avancé. Très vite, les écoles dans leur configuration actuelle deviennent de moins en moins adaptées à des élèves « digital natives » Quelles sont donc ces nouvelles technologies qui, en 2017, contribuent à la transformation et à la digitalisation des salles classe ? Un apprentissage basé sur le jeu pour une salle de classe ludique. Commentaires commentaires
