Podcasts about learning education

What if your students used what they're learning to tackle meaningful challenges- right in your classroom?  If you've ever watched our students struggle with real-world problem-solving, you're not alone. Many are used to following directions—not thinking like innovators. But what if, through a simple shift in learning design, we could help them approach our subject like entrepreneurs, creators, and problem-solvers instead? In this episode, we sit down with Jobert Ingwenya, an experiential, entrepreneurial educator who helps us move from lesson-givers to learning guides, using entrepreneurial thinking to make learning more relevant and hands-on. He shares how we can support students in taking ownership of their learning by developing real products and solutions—no business background required. How to turn our curriculum into a launchpad for real problem-solving Why stepping back as "lesson givers" leads to more engaged, independent learners The surprising skills students develop when they take the lead on developing real products and solutions Simple ways to start—without extra prep, funding, or special resources Ready to help our students think more critically, collaborate more effectively, and connect learning to the real world? Let's explore how to make that shift happen—together.

  Rée is a creative producer who develops and produces interdisciplinary projects impacting the next generation. As a “content” storyteller, not tied to one medium over another when it comes to creating compelling narratives, Rée has journeyed from educating to filmmaking and now into podcasting with her show Homeroom - a heartfelt journey through the evolving landscape of learning, driven by her ambition to reimagine how we approach teaching and learning. As an educator who has personally felt let down by the education system, a parent exploring best practices for her child, and a professional with a wealth of knowledge in education, Rée channels all these perspectives to explore education reform and creative learning. Rée strongly believes in the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in education, emphasizing that real-world situations require a blend of skills and knowledge and education should reflect this diversity. She suggests neurodivergence is a common human condition, challenging the traditional notions of neurotypicality as a patriarchal concept. This episode encourages you to embrace the winding road of lifelong learning and self improvement. Audio playback is not supported on your browser. Please upgrade.

Welcome back to Million Dollar Relationships with Kevin Thomspon! Our Guest today is Neil Moor.    Neil is the Founder of the Simply Music Institute of Learning & Education. He is also the creator of the Simply Music Piano Method. Neil was born in 1957 in Melbourne, Australia, and began studying piano at the age of 7. He has spent most of his life actively involved in 'playing-based' music learning.   From his earliest years, Neil heard music and pictured it in his mind in terms of shapes and patterns. This relationship with music became the basis of his entire approach to learning and playing the piano.   As an adult and a coach to traditional piano teachers, he had an opportunity to teach a young blind boy to play. Using his unique approach to music Neil taught the boy through shapes and patterns and subsequently discovered that his 'playing-based' approach could transform how quickly all piano students, of all ages, could learn to play. Thus began the foundation of what has become the world's largest playing-based music education institution.   Neil composes and arranges much of the music used throughout the Simply Music Piano Program. In addition to curriculum development, Neil's most extensive field of focus has been the training and coaching of piano teachers. Currently, Neil guides the direction of the organization and advises on its executive operations.   Let's join Neil as he honors the two most important people in his life, His Wife Hunter, and an 8 Year Blind boy [00:00 - 09:36] Neil Moore: The Musician Who Teaches People How to See Music Neil Moore is an educator and musician who specializes in teaching music to people in a way that allows them to see music through the same lens as he does. Neil's motivation for doing this is to contribute to the advancement of humanity's creative capability.   [09:36 - 17:06] Neil's Wife and her Profound Impact on his Life Neil shares his story of how meeting his wife changed his life for the better He points to specific moments in his life where a significant contribution was made by someone that had a profound impact on him He emphasizes the importance of relationships and how they play a role in shaping one's path in life   [17:08 - 25:04] How to Honor Your Wife: Neil's Story Neil has been married to his wife for 18,787 days. He counts every day and is grateful for her presence in his life. He describes her as "unbelievable," "deeply good," and "a child that unedited." He speaks highly of her and says that he would like to honor her in the same way that she honors him.   [25:05 - 31:53] Blind 8-year-old student of music to have sight restored Neil's background is in self-employment and restaurants, which led to a series of bad business decisions that led to a financial wipeout. Neil had a moment of insight where he saw his life as an equation and realized that he needed to do what he loved - music - instead of pursuing it for financial gain. He met a man who offered to invest in his music teaching business, and with the help of this investment, he was able to start a successful practice. Neil has continued to teach music despite never having learned how to read music himself   [31:53 - 39:38] How Neil Moore's Music Education System Impacted His Wife, Eight-Year-Old Boy, and Thousands of Other Lives Neil's eight-year-old student showed him that he could play music based on shapes and patterns, and Neil decided to explore this further Neil started sharing this approach with other teachers, and they found it to be a different experience for their students Neil has created a system of learning that impacts the brain, provides critical neurological nutrition, and fundamentally impacts our creative capability Neil believes that creativity is critically important, and he wants to help others access this capability   [39:39 - 42:59] Closing Segment Final Words Follow Neil Moore on Facebook or LinkedIn You may also visit their website at www.simplymusic.com Thanks for tuning in!     If you liked my show, please LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW, like, and subscribe!     Find me on the following streaming platforms: Apple Spotify Google Podcasts IHeart Radio Stitcher    Tweetable Quotes   "If I can teach a boy an eight-year-old boy who's blind, how to play based on shapes and patterns, and he can turn around and teach his four-year-old sister to do it as well, and she's blind, what would happen if I show typical learners how to do this.” - Neil Moore

Let me introduce you to a new concept called Conversational Discord. Conversational Discord is when people have an argument or a misunderstanding that leads to greater difficulty within an organization. There are four stages to Conversational Discord: 1.       Misinterpretation- misinterpretation is when somebody is either not listening or emotionally reacting which leads to a lack of understanding or misinterpretation of the message or the person.2.       Labeling - Labeling is when the experience lends itself to a depiction that is factually untrue or unfounded.3.       Unprofessional Sharing- When stages one and two are achieved often people will share their opinions of the experience as well as their misinterpretation by labeling and sharing with other people who are not involved in the conversation.4.       Spin and Share- People who receive the unprofessional sharing will often put their own spin on what happened and continue the sharing process.Here is a brief example of how Conversational Discord works. Recently I was in a meeting with a person who started to ramble during a staff meeting. She kept repeating herself and you could see other people and the virtual meeting becoming less and less patient. After the meeting I received a phone call from one of the participants who immediately told me she was frustrated and then preceded to use her misinterpretation that lead to labeling. The person said “all she cares about is what comes out of her mouth and she doesn't care what comes out of anybody else's mouth and she just wants to hear herself talk”. I think we've all heard people make statements like this yet is that factually what really occurred? About an hour after this person called me another person called me sharing the same thing and also shared that they had had a conversation with the person who had just called me. The unprofessional sharing was well underway. The person who was rambling in the meeting two days later had an incident with a coworker who was not in the meeting who said “I heard you had a tough meeting the other day and people were really angry that you tried to take over the meeting”. That is not even close to what factually occurred. I told the director of the department I would talk to her and see what was causing this. After several good coaching questions I quickly found out this person struggles with insecurity as it relates to her ability to communicate a clear and concise message. She literally shared with me from her past work people became extremely frustrated with her because she often came off ambiguous and nebulous which is the reason that she tends to over communicate. After talking to her for 15 to 20 minutes after finding this out I quickly realized not only does she care about other people and their views she wants to hear their other views. So, within two days someone outside the meeting had literally shared with her directly they had the impression that she took over a meeting and dominated which prompted people in the meeting to be angry. The people in the meeting were not angry they were frustrated and to be candid were frustrated on unfounded assumptions. Often, we talk about workplace cultures and engagement and we have to realize cultures are made up of conversations that occur every single day.

Recently I was in a meeting with a person who started to ramble during a staff meeting. She kept repeating herself and you could see other people and the virtual meeting becoming less and less patient. After the meeting I received a phone call from one of the participants who immediately told me she was frustrated and then preceded to use her misinterpretation that lead to labeling. The person said “all she cares about is what comes out of her mouth and she doesn't care what comes out of anybody else’s mouth and she just wants to hear herself talk”. I think we've all heard people make statements like this yet is that factually what really occurred? About an hour after this person called me another person called me sharing the same thing and also shared that they had had a conversation with the person who had just called me. The unprofessional sharing was well underway. The person who was rambling in the meeting two days later had an incident with a coworker who was not in the meeting who said “I heard you had a tough meeting the other day and people were really angry that you tried to take over the meeting”. That is not even close to what factually occurred. I told the director of the department I would talk to her and see what was causing this. After several good coaching questions I quickly found out this person struggles with insecurity as it relates to her ability to communicate a clear and concise message. She literally shared with me from her past work people became extremely frustrated with her because she often came off ambiguous and nebulous which is the reason that she tends to over communicate. After talking to her for 15 to 20 minutes after finding this out I quickly realized not only does she care about other people and their views she wants to hear their other views. So, within two days someone outside the meeting had literally shared with her directly they had the impression that she took over a meeting and dominated which prompted people in the meeting to be angry. The people in the meeting were not angry they were frustrated and to be candid were frustrated on unfounded assumptions. Often, we talk about workplace cultures and engagement and we have to realize cultures are made up of conversations that occur every single day.

“Vulnerability that's attached with movement is emotional.” Expert Educator Christie Idiong joins me for a heartening conversation on teaching and learning today. Christie is a certified Life Coach and the Founder of Cornerstone Conversations, a black-owned education-driven, people-oriented, principled Health and Wellness platform. She aims to rejuvenate the purpose and passions of individuals experiencing burnout using motivational interviewing and her educational background in human behavior. Listen in as Christie shares her professional journey with us, talking about how she started with the profession and why she continues to do what she does with love and passion. We also discuss the need to build a rapport between doctors and patients, making people intrinsically motivated towards an activity, and three basic requirements for bringing positive change in their lives. With society continually evolving and creating room for newer advancements, how do we adapt to our goals? Tune in and find out how Christie views challenges and change!   Key Highlights Christie's thesis research was qualitative, and it stood out for two reasons. One, not many people go into qualitative, where it is the words, and you're investigating the gray area. And second, she looked into exercise adherence and intrinsic motivation. The twist on her thesis was on social media- how does Instagram influence people's adherence? Does it actually motivate people to stay in a program? Does it motivate individuals to truly exercise?  Christie talks about Cornerstone conversations and why they started in the first place. How do we get people to adhere? Does building a rapport between doctors and patients make them healthier? The fitness business is excellent, but you need to be in the people business.  A lot of people don't ask those why's to understand the person themselves. "And when we look at that, we know that people are more motivated to do things or continue with an activity and here to an activity if it's internally driven, or intrinsic motivation." Christie talks about the three basic needs- Autonomy and Connection, Connectedness, and Competence. We talk about being successful online versus in person. Can we succeed as a society? If all of a sudden, all the gyms were just gone right now? Like, could we do it based off of what you say? What would our success rate be? We as humans need to move, and we will be drawn to move.  Learn why coaches will have to evolve and why online training will weed out those that cannot communicate what they need, with words, properly.   Up and Adam is an Operation Podcast production.   Save 15% on Strong Coffee Company with checkout code UPANDADAM at http://bit.ly/strongpodcast    Connect with Christie!

John Hass is the Chairman, President and CEO of Rosetta Stone, a language and literacy company with around 1,000 employees in the U.S. and around the world. Prior to Rosetta Stone, Hass spent two decades at Goldman Sachs both in New York and in Chicago. He was in the advisory part of the company working with Fortune 500 companies around the world on strategic initiatives.  Learning another language has a lot of benefits, whether you are taking a language class in school as a 4th grader or whether you are learning some key phrases in another language for business purposes as a 40 year old. Some of the impacts that go beyond just learning another language, are creating a cultural awareness, inspiring empathy and rewiring your brain to make it easier for you to learn in general. Hass says learning another language is, “a demonstration of a willingness to meet someone halfway, when you’re working with someone cross border, cross culturally, your willingness to speak their language, to be part of their environment, is always very well received in business, in culture, in travel and in most of what we do. It’s a very powerful, powerful tool, but it’s an incredibly rewarding tool as well.” When asked about the changing nature of learning in general, Hass brought up a staggering statistic regarding newly graduating high school students. He said that according to the former United States Secretary of Commerce, students currently in high school will change jobs 10 to 16 times throughout their career. Because of that, learning has to adapt to prepare these students for the world of work they are entering. Education needs to prepare students to be flexible, adaptable and it has to give them a broader set of skills. Hass is a huge believer in perpetual learning. He understands the importance of lifelong learning and says, “you have to love to learn, you have to be willing to learn. Your learning can’t end when you graduate with whatever final degree you have. You have to continue to learn to be successful.” Another important aspect about the future of learning is personalized learning. It is not good enough anymore to have one teacher standing in front of 30+ kids teaching them all the same material, at the same rate, and in the same format. Hass believes that AI and other technology will play a huge role in the future of personalized learning and allowing students to learn at their own pace and in a way that makes the most sense for their abilities. Hass admits that he is not an expert in robots or automation, however when asked about his take on robots in the future of work, he says this really goes along with his beliefs about the future of learning. We have to broaden our skill-set and improve our flexibility. He sees robots and automation replacing jobs in industries he never would have expected in the past, and he believes we are only at the forefront of this move towards automation, so we need to be prepared.  Hass’s advice for the audience, especially the younger people just about to enter the workforce, is to look for new ways to learn, love to learn and always continue to learn. Find great sources that allow you to continue learning throughout your professional career.   What you will learn in this episode: What benefits come along with learning a new language John’s take on the changing nature of learning Who is responsible for learning? Individuals, Companies, or Schools? What technology Rosetta Stone is using A look into Rosetta Stone’s corporate culture What does personalized learning look like John’s view on robots and automation in the future of work

21st Century Learning is a popular term today when talking about the future of learning for our students. So popular that I actual work for a company with that very name.Putting the shameless self-promotion aside of that statement, I came across Daniela Silva at the 21st Century Learning Conference in Hong Kong this past February. As the district coordinator of 21st Century Learning for the Qatar Schools Foundation, she is charged with melding their PYP program with the P21 framework to create outcomes that fit both. From there, it is time to implement the new ideas in their schools through professional development sessions and the creation of learning commons through the buildings.We talk about all those things today.Connect With Daniella Twitter: @nyd17BioDaniela is a proud Third Culture Latina mom living in Qatar for 4 years.

A good teacher understands that the environment of a classroom impacts the behavior of students. A chaotic environment creates chaotic emotions and a calm environment creates (usually) calm behaviors.But what if, as teachers, we had an easy way to impact the arrangement of our room and thus define or encourage the emotional responses we want from our students? Today I talk with Sean Corcorran, General Manager for SteelCase, about the state of classroom design today, the research they are doing regarding its impact on learning and the options now available for classroom design. Believe it or not, we can actually start to think about a departure from the traditional classroom look that has been around for a zillion years.   "The current state of the design of many classrooms today is obsolete."

I am a new guy at my school (ISB) and as such I might have a different idea or two that I saw used last year. For me, I try to keep my mouth shut when it comes to uttering the dreaded “at my old school” in front of my new peers.For Technology Coach Emily Maclean, my guest today, she has an employee who not only said “at my old school…” but had his words end up creating action. Action research I mean.Emily, with the help of the Grade Six teachers Serrin Smyth, Steve Snell & Daniel Withington, trialed a set of iPads and laptops for the teachers to see what impact the dual use of those devices would have on student learning.  Emily shared her learnings in our chat.Connect with Emily Website: Emilymaclean.com Twitter: @msemilymacleanBioEmily MacLean is the Education Technology Coach at Chatsworth International School in Singapore. She is an Apple Distinguished Educator, Google for Education Innovator and Google for Education Trainer.

Imagine one day you walk into a classroom and find 20-30 students each working on something different and unique. Maybe they are, at times, working in groups, but it appears they are all learning something unique.Are you witnessing anarchy or a hostile takeover of the classroom?  Or are you seeing self-directed and self-blended learning in action?Dr. Bernard Bull views it as the latter; a learning environment where students' engage their particular passions and leverage the connected network of resources we seem to have at our fingertips today.In our discussion, Dr. Bull helped me understand what self-directed and self-blended learning really means for students, teachers and parents.  What its impact is on school communities and how essential this learning model is for our future, both student and adult.Dr. Bull will be a keynote speaker at the 21st Century Learning Conference in Hong Kong this coming February.BioBernard Bull is Assistant VP of Academics and Associate Professor of Education at Concordia University Wisconsin. His work, writing and consulting largely focuses on self-directed learning, futures in education, and the intersection of education and digital culture.Connect With Bernard Twitter: @bdean1000 Google+: @BernardBull Website: www.bernardbull.com

At one point in my teaching career the phrase “connected learning” meant asking students to work in groups. In fact I remember being told by my teacher training school that is was the new thing and I better be sure to talk about how I love it during job interviews.The creation of the magical Internet, quickly redefined what connected learning really is and my guest today focuses her research on that very topic.Dr. Mimi Ito is a cultural anthropologist, studying youth and new media practices in the US and Japan. We discuss what connected learning looks like for young people today and how it can impact learning.  She is a featured keynote speaker at the 21st Century Learning Conference in Hong Kong.BioMizuko (Mimi) Ito is a cultural anthropologist, studying youth new media practices in the US and Japan.
