  • Computer programming is no longer a hobbyist pursuit; it has become the backbone of the 21st century job infrastructure. The demand for careers in computer science is at the top of the career-growth list over the next decade, and unfortunately, schools are not adapting to meet the needs of the upcoming job market.

     

    Exposure to programming at a young age is key, and schools need to provide every opportunity to integrate coding and tech-immersive lessons across the curriculum. While there are many apps and websites available for students to hone their skills, here are three mobile apps, that can be used for free, to get students excited about coding.

    • This is the future...

  • Red hair and blue eyes is the rarest combination in the world

      

    The majority of natural redheads have brown eyes, with others likely to have hazel or green shades.

      

    But like red hair, blue eye colour is a recessive trait, meaning that both parents must carry the gene for a child to be blessed with it. This makes those with red hair and blue eyes the rarest minority in the world, with only 1% having both.

      

    So, each one is about as rare as a four-leaf clover.

• Bryant Austin Interview: Awe & Wonder, by Richard Whittaker, Anne Veh

  •   A five or six-week old humpback whale calf swam right up to me on a collision course. And he veered away at the last minute probably five or six feet away from my camera. I was afraid his tail would touch my camera, so I lowered it and I remember just being taken aback by the sight of his belly button going by my face.      You could see his skin and musculature moving and flexing over his frame as he is powered down his fluke one more time. I could see all of his true colors, all of these fine details, all of these elements that make him real. His tail went right by my mask, about a foot away.      I just floated there for a moment processing that experience, trying to see if there was anything I could do with it before I decided to give it all up. And that’s when I felt a single tap on my left shoulder blade. It was too solid to be human. I felt dread, and I turned to look and found myself eye-to-eye with the mother. She had extended her 15-foot long, two-ton pectoral fin and touched my shoulder with the very tip of it. I was shaking because if she had touched me with the leading edge of her fin, even just the outermost tip of it, she could have broken my back.      She was looking into my eyes with a very calm, mindful gaze. And that’s when I saw clearly what I could offer, what I could create. I knew…I went back to the boat to be alone. And I knew what I experienced was something that would make a difference. It was what I would want to do. But I also realized how imprisoned I was, and how we all are. I just sat quietly listening to my inner voice and it just kept telling me, “You have to leave all that is safe and familiar, if you want to do this.”

• UKEdMag: A Pedagogical Oath | UKEdChat.com - Supporting the #UKEdChat Education Community

  • The Pedagogical Oath

     

     I promise to fulfil this professional oath to the best of my ability and preserve the finest traditions of my calling.

     
     
    1. I accept my responsibility in loco parentis and will always act in the ways of a good and thoughtful parent or guardian.
     
    2. My vision is for learners of all ages to reach their full potential and work interdependently for the common good of others.
     
    3. I will create the best learning experiences I am able to, believing education to be enjoyment in discovering the knowledge, understanding and skills we need to be confident citizens in the global community.
     
    4. I will uphold and disseminate the articles of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
     
    5. Whilst I may work with groups, I know learning takes place in the minds of individuals and so my care, best efforts and respect will be given equally and unconditionally to all within my charge.
     
    6. I recognise there is an art to working with learners and that warmth, sympathy and understanding must always balance the important pressures to impart information, deliver programmes, pursue academic excellence and expect high standards of behaviour.
     
    7. I will encourage learners to challenge injustice, reduce harm, protect the vulnerable and isolated, sustain and improve the natural world.
     
    8. I will respect the confidentiality of my students, within the limits of the law.
     
    9. I will draw from the wisdom of those in whose steps I walk and gladly share such learning as is mine with those who follow. I will not be ashamed to say “I don’t know”, or fail to call on colleagues when their help is needed.
     
    10. I will study the effect and impact of all I do in order to do it better next time.

    Preparation
    by Effie Waller Smith
    "I have no time for those things now," we say; "But in the future just a little way, No longer by this ceaseless toil oppressed, I shall have leisure then for thought and rest. When I the debts upon my land have paid, Or on foundations firm my business laid, I shall take time for discourse long and sweet With those beloved who round my hearthstone meet; I shall take time on mornings still and cool To seek the freshness dim of wood and pool, Where, calmed and hallowed by great Nature's peace, My life from its hot cares shall find release; I shall take time to think on destiny, Of what I was and am and yet shall be, Till in the hush my soul may nearer prove To that great Soul in whom we live and move. All this I shall do sometime but not now -- The press of business cares will not allow." And thus our life glides on year after year; The promised leisure never comes more near. Perhaps the aim on which we placed our mind Is high, and its attainment slow to find; Or if we reach the mark that we have set, We still would seek another, farther yet. Thus all our youth, our strength, our time go past Till death upon the threshold stands at last, And back unto our Maker we must give The life we spent preparing well to live.

• Learning How to Learn: What Business Leaders Need to Know | Experts' Corner | Big Think

  • I like a six step process that I came across and the acronym M-A-S-T-E-R as a way to master any topic. In brief:

     

    M. Motivating your Mind. You need to be motivated to learn. Frankly, if you don’t have the right attitude—if you don’t want to learn—you won’t be able to learn. 

     

    A. Acquiring the information. As discussed above, you need to acquire and absorb the information in the way that best fits your sensory learning preferences.

     

    S. Searching out the meaning. All too often we memorize facts so they can be regurgitated to pass a test. You must make sure you truly understand the subject matter.

     

    T. Triggering the memory. There are numerous memory strategies that can be applied (and numerous full-length books on the subject) to help you “lock it down.” Learning the meaning of the acronym MASTER is one of them!

     

    E. Exhibiting what you know. Find a study buddy to whom you present the information. It’s a great way of testing yourself and proving to yourself that you have permanently acquired the knowledge. 

     

    R. Reflecting on how you’ve learned. Reflect on the learning experience. Not what you learned, but how you learned it. Then you’ll evolve an approach that’s perfect for you.
