Brain, Mind, and Altered States of Consciousness The conspiracy to reduce consciousness to intellectual awareness of the physical world has been in evidence for at least five thousand years. Over the centuries the mental and psychic powers that only mystics and seers now possess have been filtered out of most people. So we now assume that our narrow, tightly-bound consciousness is normal and natural. "Ordinary consciousness" is "normal" only in the strict sense of "statistically most frequent," not inherently "good" or "natural" as the term is sometimes misconstrued to mean. When contrasted with supernormal consciousness experienced by certain people in specific instances, our current rigid, intellect-based awareness is highly abnormal and unnatural. Reports of Supernormal Consciousness "The boundary between my physical self and my surroundings seemed to dissolve and my feeling of separation vanished. . . .

There is something defiant about the world. It is indeed a puzzle that what looks so simple could be so defiant. The puzzle remains. We turn our gaze to the heavens. We turn our gaze inward in contemplation. Everywhere we turn we are confronted with something we cannot fathom - Infinity. 1.1. The quantum mechanics is impossible enough. But what is the power of quantum mechanics? The physics that is going to be presented in this work - belt up - is more impossible than quantum mechanics.

Every Teenager a Michelangelo: Can Studio Schools Prepare and Engage Adolescent Minds? | Many parents and teachers struggle to engage the nebulous minds of teenagers. How does one teach a brain that’s constantly fluctuating? As Shannon Brownless, acting director of the New America Health Policy Program wrote in US News, a teenager’s pre-frontal cortex isn’t yet mature enough to handle certain judgments and dilemmas. “An unfinished prefrontal cortex also means that young teenagers may also have trouble organizing several tasks,” she wrote. Bobbie Dunn of We Teach We Learn expanded on Brownless’ thought: “It is very important to work with adolescent brains, instead of continually expecting them to succeed with worksheets, vocabulary lists, and long-term assignments with no short-term goals, which can tend to work against their brains, overwhelming them and causing them to struggle with prioritizing.” One idea for reaching teenage learners comes from Geoff Mulgan, chief executive of the National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts. What did you think of Mulgan’s idea?
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Model of personality types A chart with descriptions of each Myers–Briggs personality type and the four dichotomies central to the theory. In personality typology, the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an introspective self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. The test attempts to assign a value to each of four categories: introversion or extraversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving. One letter from each category is taken to produce a four-letter test result, such as "INTP" or "ESFJ".[2][3] The MBTI was constructed by two Americans: Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers, who were inspired by the book Psychological Types by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. History[edit] Briggs began her research into personality in 1917. Myers' work attracted the attention of Henry Chauncey, head of the Educational Testing Service. Format and administration[edit]

EVALuENT 2016 : Une évaluation des usages des ENT dans le second degré Le Ministère de l'Education nationale vient de publier le rapport "EVALuENT 2016". Eduscol les résultats de l'enquête en ligne menée du 7 mars au 3 juin 2016 auprès des usagers de 28 académies sur les usages des espaces numériques de travail (ENT) dans les établissements publics du second degré. Plus de 7 100 établissements (lycées et collèges) disposaient, à la rentrée 2016, d'un espace numérique de travail (ENT), offrant ainsi à près de 10 millions d'usagers (élèves, enseignants, parents, mais aussi personnels administratif, technique ou d'encadrement) un bouquet de services numériques. 89 départements et 24 régions étaient concernés à cette même date par un projet de généralisation de l'ENT à l'ensemble des établissements de leur territoire. Quelques chiffres (infographie) : Point forts : La majorité des utilisateurs de l’ENT, quel que soit le profil considéré, est satisfaite de la qualité de service des applications fournies par l’ENT, résultat en progression par rapport à 2014.
Brain Study | Learning about the brain, body and how it all connects EuroVelo - the European cycle route network Enstitute, an Alternative to College for a Digital Elite Ms. Gao decided that she didn’t want to continue studying at Baruch College, part of the City University of New York. At first she considered transferring to Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, but she changed her mind when she saw that her tuition bill would be around $44,000 a year, with only a small amount of financial aid available. “I didn’t want to come out of college with $200,000 in debt and have to spend 10 years paying it off,” she said. Yet she still sought a way to nurture her interest in technology. A year later, Ms. How did she catapult from dropping out of college to landing a plum job? “Our long-term vision is that this becomes an acceptable alternative to college,” says Kane Sarhan, one of Enstitute’s founders. The Enstitute concept taps into a larger cultural conversation about the value of college — a debate that has heated up in the last few years. Enstitute doesn’t offer anything like $100,000 to its apprentices. The concept is not a perfect model by any stretch. MR.
