Interactive tools

Hi everyone,

Looking at interactive tools, I see there is "an app for everything."

The problem is the "Return on Effort" (RoE) is quite low when we use these tools.

Over the next few weeks, I will be looking more deeply into this RoE.

Talk to you soon.

All the best, Warren

4 Steps To Curate A Safe Place To Fail: Engaging Screenagers

4 Steps To Curate A Safe Place To Fail: Engaging Screenagers In school, don’t we teach students they are to give the right answer or they fail? In life, don’t those who fail the most become the most successful? Aren’t we somehow missing the picture in education? Isn’t there a way to let students learn that failing is just learning what doesn’t work? Why is this important? Michael Jordan and Jack Ma are both famous for failing and they are both quite successful because they learned to turn failure into learning and kept trying.

Why Connect With Your Teachers Engaging Screenagers?

Why Connect With Your Teachers Engaging Screenagers? Why should I connect with my instructor many Engaging Screenagers ask? In secondary/high school and undergraduate studies, I rarely talked to my teachers/instructors. It’s interesting how the most Engaging Screenagers (aren’t we are all now?) talk to their friends, but when it comes to sharing with education (authority figures?) things get much more quiet. When I was leading the Dale Carnegie course in public speaking, a large part of my duties was to get to know the class members and help the connect what they learned in class to solve problems in their personal and professional lives. When I was in school, the teachers/instructors mainly connected what we learned in class to solve problems on the exam. Other than get high marks on the exam, get a good job, and and live happily ever after, the exams connected to little. In graduate school, things were different. Professors were more like guides as we were all t...

Part-6 Encourage the Thrill of Curating for Engaging Screenagers

Part-6 Encourage the Thrill of Curating for Engaging Screenagers Did you ever have that thrill of finding something you were searching for? Don’t you remember that thrill of finding something that was even better than you thought? Wouldn’t it be great to teach our Engaging Screenagers to learn like that? Yesterday I saw a great quote from  O. E. Wilson: “We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely.” What if students could learn to synthesize information as they were learning? I first started getting this thrill in learning when I was in graduate school. Having tried many different techniques to improve engagement in my courses, I’ve found curating is one of the more effective engagement learning methods. Although including games in learning can temporarily raise th...
