New Research out: NEGATIVE events are more powerful at creating learning than POSITIVE events

(Photo credit: https://bit.ly/2UXRSV2)Could this really be true? How could negative events make more of a significant impact than positive ones? Well here is the experiment: Two children were given a jar. One had a jar full of marbles the second one had an empty jar. The child who was given the empty jar was asked…

YOUR English cannot grow in a state of INSTABILITY

Originally posted on The FUTURE of Learning:
(Photo credit: http://bit.ly/2GpedBc) For some reason some people work best in chaos I’d say that would be perhaps to do with the fact that deep down that need a lot of activity around them to stimulate them to start thinking. This is quite a strength of character, I…

Nobody actually KNOWS ANYTHING – so why do we bother EDUCATING ANYONE?

(Photo credit: https://bit.ly/2RuhWUi) I find it rather ridiculous when I realise that the older I get there is one thing I do know for sure, and that is that nobody actually really knows anything. We are all trying and we are all in a state of only knowing enough to keep us going, because tomorrow…
