Download or read book Mindstorms written by Seymour A Papert and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revolutionary book, a renowned computer scientist explains the importance of teaching children the basics of computing and how it can prepare them to succeed in the ever-evolving tech world. Computers have completely changed the way we teach children. We have Mindstorms to thank for that. In this book, pioneering computer scientist Seymour Papert uses the invention of LOGO, the first child-friendly programming language, to make the case for the value of teaching children with computers. Papert argues that children are more than capable of mastering computers, and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging in the classroom can change the way we learn everything else. He also shows that schools saturated with technology can actually improve socialization and interaction among students and between students and teachers. Technology changes every day, but the basic ways that computers can help us learn remain. For thousands of teachers and parents who have sought creative ways to help children learn with computers, Mindstorms is their bible.

Download or read book Principle centered Education Through Community Development written by Sai Tedla and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we forge an educational approach that is compassionate, inclusive and founded on humanity’s benevolent qualities? One answer lies in honoring what is shared in common by all in Nature and including it in a Principle-centered Education Program. The Sol Education Program (with its Community-building process) is such a Program that is founded on the one-word Principle, TruthLovePeace. The Program emphasizes integrity and character since these are practical expressions of The Principle, TruthLovePeace and, therefore, indispensable to any education sector, community center, or work place. Accordingly, the Sol Education Program can be tailor to the needs of (1) different education sectors (i.e., formal, non-formal, and informal education), (2) community centers, and (3) work places. In the Sol Education Program, Nature means the same as Community of Life. This Community of Life is composed of: humans; water-land-air animals, insects, worms, organisms; plants; life-fostering elements like earth, water, energy (sun), air, space; and the rest of the universe. What is shared in common in the Community of Life is “existence,” “isness,” “being.” We are inseparably held as one by “existence” or “being.” In other words, we are not isolated or disconnected individuals who stand apart from each other, or from the organic whole that is Nature. Whatever happens to Nature, as a whole, impacts us all. When we recognize and honor the “being” or “existence” that we share in common, we respect Nature instead of exploiting it. The common-ground that affirms this Community of Life is the unified and unifying Principle, which is composed of seven aspects that are written as one-word, TruthLovePeaceGoodnessBeautyWisdomHappiness – or briefly as TruthLovePeace. Since TruthLovePeace cannot coexist with falsehood, injustice, exploitation, hatred, cruelty, and turmoil; we find that GoodnessBeautyWisdomHappiness is also absent where TruthLovePeace is missing. Taking a closer look, we find that humans, on the whole, value having TruthLovePeace in their lives and in the lives of those they hold “near and dear” to them. In recognition of the commonality shared by humanity and the rest of Nature, the Sol Education Program uses The Principle, TruthLovePeace as its foundation. The Program, therefore, commences by establishing its Sol Community, Sol Villages, Sol Homes and activities on The Principle, TruthLovePeaceGoodnessBeautyWisdomHappiness. In its learning and teaching ways, Sol Education incorporates the learner-centered, the inquiry-based, and the learner-participatory approaches. Each member of the Sol Community (Student, Parent, adopted Grandparent, Teacher, Professor, Peer Advisor, and Educator) is viewed as both a Learner and a Teacher in the Community of Life. All Sol Members, as Learners and Teachers, are encouraged to express their benevolent, high Self in all daily interactions and activities by affirming The Principle, TruthLovePeace. In other words, all Sol Members are regarded as Keepers of The Principle, TruthLovePeace: thus making selfless Service or Labor of Love the beating heart of Sol Community. Every Sol Elder (Teacher, Professor, Peer Advisor, Educator, and adopted Sol Grandparent) is to exemplify Respectfulness in action – so that our children and youth can experience the meaning of Respect and Appreciation. This Respect and Appreciation for all includes tapping lightly from the bounty of Nature – without harming others or taking more than we need.

Download or read book The Truth about Stories written by Thomas King and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2003 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2003 Trillium Book Award "Stories are wondrous things," award-winning author and scholar Thomas King declares in his 2003 CBC Massey Lectures. "And they are dangerous." Beginning with a traditional Native oral story, King weaves his way through literature and history, religion and politics, popular culture and social protest, gracefully elucidating North America's relationship with its Native peoples. Native culture has deep ties to storytelling, and yet no other North American culture has been the subject of more erroneous stories. The Indian of fact, as King says, bears little resemblance to the literary Indian, the dying Indian, the construct so powerfully and often destructively projected by White North America. With keen perception and wit, King illustrates that stories are the key to, and only hope for, human understanding. He compels us to listen well.
