Escucha este audiolibro completo aquí: https://bit.ly/3rfKYJjNarrado por: Carlos LladóRobinson desarrolla en Escuelas creativas las ideas de su famosa charla TED «Cómo la escuela mata la creatividad» y ofrece soluciones innovadoras y revolucionarias para uno de los problemas más relevantes de nuestra sociedad: cómo transformar un sistema educativo que no funciona. En una época en la que los procesos de evaluación se estandarizan, las escuelas pasan por momentos difíciles y tanto estudiantes como educadores sufren una presión enorme, Robinson nos ofrece soluciones prácticas para terminar con el caduco sistema educativo actual heredado de la Revolución Industrial. Para lograrlo, propone darle a la educación un enfoque personalizado. Sugiere aprovechar el potencial de los recursos tecnológicos y profesionales disponibles y fomentar así la participación de los estudiantes para que pierdan el miedo a equivocarse, desarrollen su pasión por aprender y su creatividad, y estén preparados para afrontar los retos que les depare el futuro. Repleto de anécdotas, casos, investigaciones y consejos de profesionales pioneros en el tema, Escuelas creativas apasionará a cualquier interesado en la educación, porque le hará replantearse muchas ideas preconcebidas y le ayudará a reflexionar sobre cuál es realmente el verdadero sentido de la educación en el siglo XXI. #penguinaudio #audiolibro #audiolibros #Lou #Aronica #LouAronica See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Most writers are familiar with the concept of the three-act structure. But a deep dive into story composition shows that it is more accurate to look at most novels in terms of four acts. Lou Aronica, Publisher of The Story Plant and New York Times bestselling author, and John Adcox CEO of Gramarye Media and author of the just-released novel Raven Wakes the World will discuss four-act structure, using the Marlowe analysis of Raven Wakes the World as the foundation for this conversation.

The Story Plant's publisher is looking for fiction manuscripts. Lou Aronica, also a New York Times bestseller, discusses what he is looking for in fiction literature

Before becoming an author, Lou Aronica was a publishing executive for Bantam Books, Berkley Publishing and Avon Books, specializing in science fiction and fantasy but working in several genres. He co-edited the Full Spectrum anthologies with Shawna McCarthy and has worked with publishing pioneer Ian Ballantine, authors such as Ray Bradbury and the writers at Lucasfilm. His first novel, The Forever Year, came out in 2004 (originally under the pen name Ronald Anthony), and was followed by a nonfiction book, A Million Thanks, co-authored with Shauna Fleming. He's added nearly 30 books since then, including the New York Times bestsellers The Element and Finding Your Element (both with Ken Robinson) and national bestsellers Blue (fantasy), When You Went Away, The Journey Home and Anything (romance) and Leaves (women's fiction). Host Patricia McLinn talks with Lou about working on both sides of the desk and how he overcomes the hurdles of being a male romance novelist.  In Lou's words (on becoming an author): "It was really easy for me to say 'yeah, some other time'... [But] if I don't do it now... if I just go and get another job, then it's never going to happen. So that's really why I just decided to do it then." (8:58) You can find Lou on:   *His website *Facebook and *Twitter Thanks to DialogMusik for the instrumentals that accompany this podcast.

#167: The most watched TED Talk in history "Do Schools Kill Creativity?" made Sir Ken Robinson, PhD. a widely known crusader of non-traditional education around the world. In his new book YOU, YOUR CHILD, AND SCHOOL, co-authored with Lou Aronica, Sir Robinson argues that we should demand an education system revolution for our children and the future of humanity. No big deal.“One of the deep problems in education, which should concern you as a parent, is the limited idea of intelligence that permeates school culture.” - Sir Ken RobinsonAlways witty and super down to earth, Sir Ken Robinson discusses on Atomic Moms: how parents can help their children find the best school for them to thrive, the billion dollar testing industry, ADHD, how our current education system can be compared to industrialized farming, who is actually at fault in the school dropout crisis, and why dance is as important as mathematics in school! xo EllieFollow along on Instagram: @atomicmoms, Facebook, and our private Facebook community.

Lou Aronica didn’t intend to be a writer; born on Elvis Presley’s birthday, Lou felt it was his destiny to be a rock star, but that all changed after a teacher encouraged him to develop an evident talent for writing. After graduating college with a degree in English, Lou planned on becoming a teacher, though a bad economy and a flood of talent competing for teaching jobs that simply weren’t there pushed him into the only other career well suited for an English major—publishing. After rising through the ranks in the publishing world, a window was opened when Lou's company was purchased by News Corp and the powers that be decided his services were no longer needed at the helm of Avon Books. Armed with some free time (and a golden parachute), Lou wrote what became his first novel, USA Today Best Seller The Forever Year. In addition to successful followup works of fiction, Lou has also penned non-fiction as well as helped develop other authors through his company The Fiction Studio. In this interview you’ll hear how Lou got his start, the importance of being honest as a writer - especially when writing fiction - and his perspectives on how the publishing business has changed with the advent of The Kindle and the rise of independent authors. You will also hear a recurring theme in Lou’s life, how events don’t always unfold the way he wants them to, but do so in a way that moves his life forward for the better. To bring it back to where our conversation began, Lou discusses his return to music and the singles he is releasing every week through his blog, which can be found at louaronica.com/blog.

Hablamos con Manel Martinez, director de la escuela Liberi de Premià de Mar, sobre educación y libertad. Somos Zetatesters, queremos cambiar nuestras vidas, nuestras actitudes, valores, hábitos, resultados. Y es que no nos gusta dónde hemos llegado, o deberíamos decir: dónde nos han llevado. El sistema educativo que ha permitido el gran y positivo hito de la cuasi educación universal, nos da la escuela como institución por la que todos debemos pasar una parte muy importante de nuestras vidas. Pero la escuela nace junto a la cárcel, el hospital y el manicomio. Instituciones complejas totalmente embebidas en nuestra sociedad, y que tienen un gran papel en la forma que la sociedad se define y se genera. El movimiento de la escuela libre reta las estructuras, métodos y suposiciones en la que se encuentran alumnos y maestros. Para imaginar e intentar implementar una escuela diferente, centrada en el niño y en su libertad para aprender cómo, cuándo y lo que quiera. Casi nada.

Beyond The Cover is back from a one week break with a very exciting guest, Simon Gervais. We will also dive into the world of books and have reviews, tips, etc. so don't miss out: Simon Gervais:  SIMON GERVAIS was born in Montréal, Québec. He joined the Canadian military as an infantry officer and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 1997. Assigned to the Infantry School in Gagetown, New Brunswick, he received extensive training in advanced reconnaissance and small-unit tactics. In 2001, he became a federal agent. His first posting was in Toronto, where he served as a drug investigator. During this time, he worked on many international drug-related cases in close collaboration with his American colleagues from the DEA. However, in 2004, his career switched gears and he was placed with a federal anti-terrorism unit based in the Ottawa Region. During the following years, he was deployed in numerous European and Middle Eastern countries. In 2009, he became a close-protection specialist tasked with guarding foreign heads of state visiting Canada. Among many others, he served on the protection details of Queen Elizabeth II, US President Barack Obama and Chinese President, Hu Jianto. In 2012, Simon was transferred to his organization’s counter-surveillance unit. During the next two years, he participated in a number of intelligence gathering operations. In May 2014, he returned to his former unit to serve as a bodyguard for the American ambassador to Canada until his retirement in September 2014. Simon is now a full-time writer and a member of the International Thriller Writers. He has volunteered as the Security Director of ThrillerFest since 2013. His debut novel THE THIN BLACK LINE will be published by Lou Aronica at The Story Plant on April 7th, 2015. He is represented by literary agent Eric Myers of The Spieler Agency.
