Thinking activity on Education and Technology

  ◆◆◆Education and Technology:- ELT -2

  ●Hello,
        My dear friends and readers this task is given by Prof. Dilip Barad sir and it has 8 videos in the thinking activity, click here for this task. 


   

1. Sir Ken Robinson: changing paradigm.




◆"We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says.

   In the first video, I find some interesting things like, he talks about, Reforming public education there are two reasons for it,
●Economic,
●Cultural.

   He talks about Globalization in the context of information technology in the present and future. One most important part is the 'Alienation' because, millions of kids who don't see any purpose in going to school. And he gives reasons also, why do we want to go to school or college? We do that for HARD WORK, DO WELL, COLLEGE and JOB. Of course we have a degree but it's not guarantee anymore in the present time also. The currant system was designed and conceived for a different age. He talked about Intellectual culture of the enlightenment, Economic circumstances of the Industrial Revolution.

   Public Education; middle of the 19th century there were no any system like public education. He talks on JESUITS - find God in all things. Public education paid by Taxation and this is like compulsory to everyone. He has revolutionary ideas and he wants to change something through rich and poor people. In this video through I find some satirical sentences also. Fictitious academic like Arts, science, and maths etc.

  ● Revolutionary ideas: Many people object to it they said it's not possible for many street kids; like working class children. Assumptions about social structure and capacity of the time. Academic ability and intellectual model of the mind. He says that two types of public education:

●Academic
●Non academic

   Here are the concept of smartness and well educated people and not smart people like villagers. Two pillars of the public education:

●Economic
●Intellectual

    And he talks on many notable points like, CHAOS, Modern epidemic, MAP of prescriptions for ADHD;
●As misplaced
●As fictitious

   He says that, ' information and course their attention from every platform computers, from iPhone, fro. Advertising hoardings, from hundreds of television channels and were penalizing them for getting distracted from what no boring stuff at school.'

     " The Arts are victims of this mentality."

    The idea of esthetic experience. We should be working them up to what is inside of themselves! Education is modeled on the interests of industrialization like subject, category of age groups, small groups and large groups. Standardization is an essential capacity for creativity and Divergent thinking; isn't the same as thing as creativity and the process of having original ideas that have value. And let's ability to question, not linear or convergent ways to see, but multiple answers. And he give one example for it, 'Paper clip'. It's very useful but, in how much Field in we use so, different age through our way of thinking and remembering is different through his experiment on one girl child. Like, the Garten children gives 98%, than she will between 8 or 10 than she gives 50% ad than finally at the age of 13 to 15 she gives 10% to 15% response in this experiment. He says that outside school that's called "collaboration". In the exact opposite direction through this. We have to think differently about human capacity and he also talks on academic, non academic, abstract/ theoretically things also. He says that, 'Great learning happens in groups.' And then he says collaboration is the stuff of growth. At the last few words is that kind of distinction between them and their natural learning environment and thirdly it's crucially about the culture at institutions and our willingness to accept something new.



  2. Sugata Mitra: School in the cloud - SOLE



  Sugata Mitra says schooling and it came from 300 years ago it came from the biggest empires on this planet; 'The British Empire'. Paper and travelling by ships through they collect data handed through it. He says that the computer is how useful in present time and it's called the Bureaucratic administrative machine.
#Three things,
  ● They must have good handwriting, because the data is handwritten;
 ● They must be able to read;
 ● And they must be able to division, addition, and subtraction in their head.
    He discussed about the Victorians also because they are great engineers. This education system is not broken but, wonderfully constructed. Today and future in various tools we use like computers, Tablets, Mobile and so on. 
  He started project of the slum to ground his office and it successfully completed. And then they teach each other How to Browsing? His second project is in he went 300 miles out of Delhi and repeated the experiment in remote village. Through this project few things are games out like,

" Teacher ourselves". By Sugata Mitra

"There's a processor inside".
   
    This project is he doing continuously 9 months and then he see effect of pronouncing.
He says that,
    "Keep talking into it until it types what you say."
   This project in the Kallikuppam village in the south india. DNA replication through they get few things and also they start to learn through internet. English language is somehow difficult to understand for them. He applies the Pedagogical method and may be he is trying to develop it.

     "Encouragement seems to be the key".

   "The reptilian part of our brain, which sits in the center of our brain, which it's threatened, it shuts all of that down." So, I think it's always right but, why we follow this type of old system and we mostly believe that pressure is the main reason of getting information or knowledge? But, it's not true at all. Punishment and examinations are seen as threats. "The granny cloud" sits on the internet and education is self organize,
    "Self organized learning environment"- SOLE.
   ●Broadband + Collaboration + Encouragement + Admiration.
    He talks about 'Stone she's also and he says that we need to design a future for learning.
   His last sentence are very good like, "My wish is to help design a future of learning by supporting children all over the world to tap into their wonder and their ability to work together. Help me build this school. It will be a school where children go on these intellectual adventures driven by the big questions which their mediators put in." Sir wish to we do SOLE in school, college, home and so on.
