Creative Education: an Introduction

January 22nd, 2012 by Nathanial

Every culture, age of academia and person has defined what a classroom is, or isn’t.

.

Education has in most recent centuries had a major stake in the economic success of a society; education IS important. How to educate large numbers of people in effective ways is being discussed by all.  There are many questions when it comes to education, who will fund it, who will teach, what will we teach and ultimatley who gets the chance to be educated.

I won’t focus on those questions as much as I will focus on the new practices, technologies and other items that are focusing on the creative tactics of education. Look forward to more on this as I jump into Creative Education.

Creativity is what brings about change and helps us understand the world we see better.

Creativity is what brought about the wheel, chocolate chip cookies and Western society out of the dark ages.

Creativity is what will help foster our future.

The Other Classroom: An Introduction

November 14th, 2011 by Nathanial

 

.Education.

This has always been something I hold dear to my own upbringing as well as something I find ever important in the world we all choose to live on.

For me education was something that I might have took for granted when I was younger, but now realize how wrong I was.

As we strive to educate the masses as the world grows to above 7 Billion, and educate them well; there are numbers of issues that have been arising all over the globe.  Who deserves education?, What should be taught? and How is technology is changing the classroom?

“The Other Classroom”

There’s always an other side of the fence, something seemingly better and another classroom across the hall.  This blog is titled, “The Other Classroom”.  I will give you a window to see the other classroom and what’s going on inside, because things are always different in  The Other Classroom.

Over the next few weeks I will be begin to introduce you to different areas of education.  By the time the beginning of 2012 begins everything will be in “full swing”, with full articles and other media spanning the diversity of education.  In the mean-time you can read some older posts from my Internship at Qingdao University in Qingdao China.

Sit back, enjoy while I explore education.
