Best Education-Related Videos of 2014

Best Education-Related Videos of 2014 | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From usergeneratededucation.wordpress.com - December 18, 2014 9:44 PM
I love end of year “best of” lists.  My own list is what I found to be the most powerful education related videos of 2014. They all, in some way, address the mind, heart, and spirit of education.  ...
Beth Dichter's insight:

Finding great educational videos takes time...so I am always excited when I find a list of suggested video. Jackie Gerstein shares her top 11. They range from just over three minutes to about seventeen minutes. Below is  a list of the videos.

* Malala Yousuf Nobel Prize Speech

* Carol Dweck: The Power of Believing You Can Improve

* Sir Ken Robinson: Can Creativity Be Taught

* President Obama on the Whitehouse Maker Faire

* Toxic Culture of Education: Joshua Katz

* The necessity of the student voice | Catherine Zhang

* Rethinking Learning in the Digital Age – Mitchel Resnick

* If I Knew Then: A Letter to Me on My First Day Teaching

* Kid President Throws a Surprise Party for a Retiring Teacher

* Erzah French: Sportskid of the Year

* Malcolm Mitchell Book Club

You will find brief descriptions for most of these videos and I suspect that many will choose to watch all of them over a period of time. You may find one or two that would be great to share at a faculty meeting.

The School of Our Dreams Might Actually Exist - Education - GOOD

The School of Our Dreams Might Actually Exist - Education - GOOD | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.good.is - June 6, 2012 9:23 PM
One public school in Boston is focused on building students' collaborative—rather than competitive—abilities.

Watch the video (~6 minutes) and learn about a school in the Boston area that might be called a "transformational school," a school where "students start their lessons without prodding fromtheir teachers..." 

They also speak talk about the Habits of Mind the use as a conceptual framework:

* Evidence - How do you know?
* Conjecture - What if things were different?
* Connections - What does it remind you of?
* Relevance - Is it important? Does it matter?
* Viewpoint - What would someone else say? How would someone else feel?

Watch and listen and ask yourself, would your school make this type of transition?

Sir Ken Robinson on How Finding Your Element Changes Everything | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.brainpickings.org - April 22, 2012 8:02 PM

"Sir Ken Robinson has previously challenged and delighted us with his vision for changing educational paradigms to better optimize a broken system for creativity.

In this wonderful talk from The School of Life, Robinson articulates the ethos at the heart of The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything — one of 7 essential books on education — and echoes, with his signature blend of wit and wisdom, many of the insights in this indispensable collection of advice on how to find your purpose and do what you love."
