- Gain the students curiosity in what you want to teach
- Focus students attention by using signals (hat) and coloured chalk/pens during writing???
- Make a safe classroom: Remove the barrier of making mistakes in class
- Skills that are required in the 21st century:
- Critical analysis - fact finding
- Evaluation
- Problem solving
- Long term goal planning
- Executive Functions - judgement, critical analysis
- Classrooms should be structured so that lessons create the same excitement and are based on the same theory of advancement as video games.
Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?
- Believes creativity is as important as literacy and should be treated with the same status
- Believes if you are frightened to be wrong you will never be creative/original
- Believes creativity gets educated out of us
- Education was built on industrialisation - certain subjects for certain jobs
- Academic inflation - Once required BA, now MA and maybe a PhD.
Digital Technologies:
- If you can improve class with technology, that's why you do it
- Can allow every student to move forward at their own pace
- It can give teachers/students real time data
