Amazing Time-Lapse: Bees Hatch Before Your Eyes | EDUcation | BIO | Nature | Sustainability

Witness the eerily beautiful growth of larvae into bees in this mesmerizing time-lapse video from photographer Anand Varma. Varma said the six-month project, for which he built a beehive in his workshop, gave him a new respect for the meticulous job of beekeeping.

How the Power of Interest Drives Learning

How the Power of Interest Drives Learning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Research shows that interests powerfully influence our academic and professional choices. When we're interested in a task, we work harder and persist longer, bringing more of our self-regulatory skills into play.


What Interest Can Do For Us

Interest is at once a cognitive state and an affective state, what Silvia calls a “knowledge emotion.” The feelings that characterize interest are overwhelmingly positive: a sense of being energized and invigorated, captivated and enthralled.


As for its effects on cognition: interest effectively turbocharges our thinking. When we’re interested in what we’re learning, we pay closer attention; we process the information more efficiently; we employ more effective learning strategies, such as engaging in critical thinking, making connections between old and new knowledge, and attending to deep structure instead of surface features. When we’re interested in a task, we work harder and persist longer, bringing more of our self-regulatory skills into play.

Learning With Nature | Curiosity | Engagement | eSkills

Learning With Nature | Curiosity | Engagement | eSkills | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
In our time of fast-paced, exam-pressured, high-tech culture, where does learning with nature have a place?

When adults are asked to recall a time in their youth when they were happiest, invariably they refer to times spent outdoors and with friends.


Our clever screen world keeps us busy and on the go, but does not help us to communicate, feel loved, gain the satisfaction of the quiet mind, and relax. Time with others in nature does exactly that -- and much, much more!

Finding the Beauty in Math | Nature | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
How does a person fall in love with math? For too many, math class conjures up anxious worksheets filled with rows of unanswered problems. Students go along, seeming to perform the steps required -- plug in the formulas, solve for x -- without ever understanding what they’re doing, or why.

Storytelling With Twitter-Possible? YES, It Is! Jimmy The Bumble Bee

Storytelling With Twitter-Possible?  YES, It Is! Jimmy The Bumble Bee | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Some (actually a lot…) told me that Twitter is worth NOTHING, really!? I got discussions with people about the value of Twitter and Social Media, people who don’t understand the importance and the influence that Social Media has and I took this as a challenge to answer through my blog posts to give THEM an idea about WHAT THEY are missing...
