– a Singaporean teacher's storeroom 🖖
take a look at this (all too familiar?) list:
pedagogical skills
pedagogical strategies
pedagogical content knowledge
pedagogical framework
pedagogical principles
complex pedagogy
basic pedagogy
what’s the similarities and/or difference(s) among them? which is a subset of which? or which is the same as the other?
if i may quote “(i see) STARS” — LK
what do you see? 😛
chanced upon this video “Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”. the greatest takeaway for me personally is these statements that appear towards the end of the lecture:
“It’s not about how you achieve your dreams, it’s about how you lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself, and your dreams will come to you.”
life’s not all 一帆风顺, things more often than not go the way we least intended or not intended at all. that is life, and how one LEADS one’s life decide how your life will eventually turn out. if we choose to feel miserable, we’ll be miserable; if we choose to live life to its fullest till the last day like the cancer striken Dr Pausch. 就真正可以说不枉此生了。
here’s another ‘follow up’ video if u’re interested to catch:
enjoy n be inspired too (:
btw, he’s the man behind Alice, a software to teach children programming in the fun way and this software would allow “millions of kids having fun”.
as solid-state drives’ price dropping and getting more n more popular, some of us may be tempted to buy one for use as SSD promises performance and less heat compared to our usual HDDs. if so, you may be interested to find out more abt SSDs in this report by Nikkei Electronics Asia published early last month. even if u’re not buying one soon, this article can give u a good overview of wat SSD is all abt (:
seen this shared by dear friend tuck soon via fb, watch it first/too? (:
if one appreciates this video, it probably means one is no longer young. if one doesn’t appreciate this video, it means one is either (1) young in terms of biological age (2) not young in terms of biological age and in a state of self-denial. this animation reminds us that life’s not just abt waking up in the morning, go to work, work … work … work …, time’s up leave work go home, sleep, morning go to work again … and the cycle repeats itself and on and on …
if one lives to work, probably you should go back to this story (:
saw this off /. the “Galatic Arms Race (GAR)“, featuring evolving game content. The spaceship weapon systems, automatically evolves based on player behavior through a specialised version of the NEAT evolutionary algorithm called cgNEAT (content-generating NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies). Check out this video below and take note of the variety of (evolved) weapons (:
how far away can we expect to see an educational game that evolves itself based on our students’ behaviours during gameplay? probably very far *hmm*
