Questions Students' Ask?

What do students think about? I was curious.  

Follow Your Passion

I decided to take a gap year from my college education in 2013. I started thinking about the various projects I wanted to work on in this period. How I would continue my education in this period? I decided to google some ideas and here are some insights.

Who is a true teacher?

I was fortunate growing up. I had a few teachers that I will always remember and who developed a deep love for learning in me. Learning was always fun and interesting when they were around

What was different in them? I always wondered. A quote I read recently presented one possible answer to this question I had as a child.

Ken Robinson and why students must think from the heart?

Based on a study of the work of the British educator Sir Ken Robinson (two books, five hours of lectures) here is a blog post on his views on Education and why they matter. It is vital educators, teachers, parents and students around the world get access to this information.

Firstly Three Ways Education can engage the student better according to Sir Ken Robinson
Creativity can be part of everyday Education. Thank you for showing the world so Mr Ken.

1. Foster Diversity – Encouraging students to customize their learning process and to provide broader curriculums.
2. Foster Creativity – This can be done through more creative teaching. This will depend on high quality teacher training and development.
3. Awaken Creativity – Without emphasis on the standardized as an only measure of student performance.

Seth Godin on Education

Seth Godin’s manifesto titled, ‘Stop Stealing Dreams’ showed me why Education is everyone's business. 

There are chefs, artists, engineers, sportspeople, scientists sitting in the classrooms of the world today. Then why must we ask only educationists about solutions to the problems of education. Not every student will get into education. Many of us have spent 10-15 years in the education system of our countries. So we all have a right to express our views on education whether we are an academic, an artist or just a student. Education is everyone's business!
 

In his TED Talk by the same name , he describes eight ways education can re-thought and here I have included a small commentary on each point mentioned.
