The Invention of Teaching Printed Textbooks - What Makes New York Citys Education Different?

The Invention of Teaching Printed Textbooks - What Makes New York City's Education Different?New York City has been on the forefront of education for a long time, being home to many schools. The city has continuously been trying to upgrade and change education to make it more flexible it's always been working towards the goal of excellence. In order to get a feel for the changing world of education, perhaps the best thing to do is to look at the greatest innovations of education in the past. The two greatest are Thomas Edison and Tish Hale.Both Edison and Hale were the ones who discovered that the lesson plan could be written by an individual student and distributed by a person or a group of students as a means of instruction, this was through using 'mirror writing.' This was, in effect, a collage of books of lessons, that were arranged by subject. While this is done today, in some form, it is always a refreshing idea to see someone so inventive in their ideas and the idea of a 'mirr or' works too well.Edison is perhaps the most famous figure for the invention of the school printer, and in his day he was associated with the infamous Thomas Davenport, as the two ran a printing shop together. So, what was it that led to this event? It was originally a form of teaching printed textbooks to be used in the classroom, but was later in 1879 when Edison came across a book called 'The Classroom', which focused on taking the classroom down a step further, and this led to the creation of the first school printers.The invention of the school printer brought about a change in the way that children learned their lessons. Previously, teachers would read out syllables that were placed on the page in front of the student. The teacher would then show the student in between these syllables how to form the lesson word into sentences, or read it out of a text book.When the printer came about, the students would start learning all by themselves, although they still had the option of having lessons from an assistant teacher. There was the difference of the student no longer having to rely on the teacher for teaching, he or she was the one in charge of teaching them.Another amazing innovation of Edison was using mirrors as a means of showing a person the way to an object. This idea came about after he had a hot iron which had a mirror mounted above it. The students, who could now take classes from another student as opposed to a teacher, could either view or touch the object they were supposed to learn about.This is what these two individuals thought of when they created their amazing ideas. It is obvious that these ideas have not only changed the lives of millions of people but will continue to do so for a long time to come.

Geeks on a Plane and BarCamp Shanghai

Geeks on a Plane and BarCamp Shanghai This past week has been a really interesting for the startup scene in Shanghai.   The big catalyst was the Geeks on a Plane tour organized by Dave McClure of the FoundersFund and George Godula of Web2Asia.   This trip brought a number of entrepreneurs, bloggers, and venture capitalists from the US and Europe to Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai to learn about the tech scene in Asia.   The Geeks on a Plane tour also led into two other events:   TEDx Shanghai and BarCamp Shanghai. Barcamp Shanghai was on Sunday, and about 120 people attended this un-conference for presentations and networking.   We even got a chance to do a short presentation about how we think connecting people over the internet is leading to major changes in language learning.   Many thanks to the organizers, which includes one of our team members (Toffler).   We had a great time and met a lot of interesting people. On Monday, the Geeks tour was present at TEDx Shanghai, where there was a full day of presentations (you can catch the videos here).   We managed to meet a few of the Geeks after the presentations and also at the Geeks and Glamour after party.   Here are just a few of the people we wanted to give a mention to: Dave McClure Mark Hendrickson Benjamin Joffe Dan Martell Dug Song Adriana Gasciogne Larry Chiang Marcus Nelson Overall it was a really exciting time to be in Shanghai and in the technology space.   Hopefully, it wont be another year before we see an event like this again!

How to Get Your Child Ahead of the Rest

How to Get Your Child Ahead of the Rest When the word education is mentioned usually there are positive intentions in mind. In America today the demand for education is growing exponentially, because of growing demand the competition for college placement is fierce. To stay a step ahead of the rest in the professional world, your child will need more than an average bachelors degree. Currently securing a job in the United States requires a superior education. The professional business services industry (knowledge based) is expanding in the US, it has grown from 14 million in 1997 to 18 million in 2007, this statistical change demonstrates a shift in industry dominance. The manufacturing industry (labor intensive) at one time employing most Americans is decreasing in size dramatically. Manufacturing jobs have decreased by more than 2 million in a single decade. This trend is not slowing, in the US the scale is tipping drastically towards a dominant knowledge based industry. Soon concerns for your child’s level of education may weigh you down like a ton of bricks. Thirty years ago a bachelors degree would equal a steady career and bright future for the young graduate, today, a bachelors degree might not even get your foot in the door. Parents today must contribute to their child’s education, now, more than ever. College, which was once the final step towards a good career is now only the beginning. Though competition is heated, a college degree is necessary step in the right direction. The graph below provided by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, depicts is a significant correlation between employment and earnings and your child’s education. The best option for parents is to start early and look to engage their child in extra educational activities outside of the classroom. As the United States moves towards a knowledge based society and an exclusively educated workforce many will be left in the trenches. The public school system is in a hole of their own, today our government, school districts, teachers, and parents are looking towards privatized education to better facilitate youth education. Many of these services have always been available; charter schools, private schools, tutoring services, and homeschooling all of these options may be a parents chance to keep their child competitive in today’s “graduation hat race.” Starting your child in a program outside of the classroom can help them perform better within the classroom as well. If children can succeed better at lower levels where education tends to be less expensive then they have a better chance of earning a valuable scholarship for higher education. Don’ wait until it is to late for your child to achieve at the highest level take the right road to educate your child beyond the boundaries of the public school system. Another great way to help your child learn is to integrate fun with education because learning should be an enjoyable activity. Take your child to an art gallery, museum, music center, performing arts theater, or zoo, here kids have an opportunity to learn without even being aware they are. This type of experience might motivate your child’s educational interests for science, history, math, physics, music, and or art.

Andys October Language Challenge Week 2

Andys October Language Challenge Week 2 Andy is our new UX Designer and recently joined the italki team in September.  One of the first things he did was join the italki October Language Challenge as he really needs to improve his Chinese as you can tell from his Public Video Pledge.  Hes graciously offered to blog about his experiences and how he is going to conquer the Challenge!  Take it away Andy This week Ive been naughty.  Since my last post seven days ago, I only took one class! Shame on me! While working it is very difficult to free up some time and save some mental energy to learn a language, especially one so difficult like the Chinese.  I have to say that I have some good excuses for not being able to actually take more classes. In fact in China we had a short weekend, last saturday it was a working day to make up for the long national holidays of the first week of october. Sunday and Monday i was knocked-off by a cold (I swear its not Ebola!) and iIwas not able to focus on nothing really Although, excuses doesnt really help you to learn a language. What is actually helpful is to set up a routine and schedule the classes in advance. At least for me, this should work better. If I know that a class is coming I  can find time to prepare and to arrange my other appointments in my busy calendar. Im sure than making my study time a commitment instead of a filler for my free time will definitely improve the results. Said so, until the end of October I will wake up earlier and take my Chinese classes in the morning before going to work. I used to do the same last year, but it didnt last long because to be able to attend the classes at the Chinese Language Institute before going to work I had to wake up at six in the morning! Commuting to the school and then commuting again to work was taking up 60 to 90 minutes every time. What a waste of time! By taking classes online I will  be able to save all of that commuting time and wake up one hour and a half later. Andys calendar to complete the October Language Challenge Here is my plan: Wake up around 7.30 and review the previous lesson between 8 and 8.30 while having breakfast (instead of the news!). Take one hour class from 8.30 to 9.30, then pack my stuff and go to work. Im lucky enough to live just 15 minutes by bike from the office so i should be able to be at work before 10.  Sounds like a good plan to me! So I already booked all the classes that Im still missing in order to achieve the 12 hours of classes goal. Im planning to be done by the 24th of October, almost a week in advance! What about you?  Do you have a schedule? How does it look like?  Let me know! See you next week guys!

How to Learn Languages Your Own Way in 4 Decisive Steps

How to Learn Languages Your Own Way in 4 Decisive Steps How to Learn Languages Your Own Way in 4 Decisive Steps Let me guess.Youre ready to embark on a scenic language learning journey, and youre seeking guidance online.The internet is full of one-size-fits-all strategies for language learners.Lets just say there are two types of blog posts floating around the web giving you language learning advice: the right ones and the wrong ones.The wrong ones are the ones you know are wrong before you ever click on them.They have titles like How to Get Fluent in Just Three Hours! and are the linguistic equivalent of fat-loss pills and miracle foods.The right ones are normally well-researched articles that hone in on one aspect: the trick, the hack, the secret  that the author thinks is important.But even those are normally riddled with generalizations that dont take into account individual differences in language learning.So you could read every single one of those good ones, the ones that share with you some narrow slice of the truth.Or you could learn the whole truth and nothing but the truth, the unde rlying linguistic truth.In the last several decades, linguists and neurologists have worked with sociologists and psychologists and educationalists and everything in between, and the anticlimactic truth is that the puzzle is already pieced together. We already know a lot about how we learn languages, and a surprising majority of it is pretty straightforward.So instead of reading up on the next superfood, lets tackle how you actually learn languages by looking at whats known about how language functions, what happens in the brain when we learn a language, and the sociology and practicals of how a new language actually looks in your life.There are four steps here, and theyll look different for every learner, but what your brain is doing behind the scenes is the same for everyone.So lets pack up, consider the path ahead and get you headed in the right direction! How to Learn Languages Your Own Way in 4 Decisive StepsStep 1: Learn a Little About LanguageYou only have to follow this st ep if  you want to skip endless rote memorization, frustrated facepalming, moments of utter hopeless confusion and having to start from scratch every time you learn a new language.So if you like struggling, skip on down to Step 2.If you dont, take a minute to zoom out and ask the big question: What is language?You might answer that its the thing we use to socialize every day, the thing youre reading, the thing Im writing and the way were engaging in this exchange of ideas right now. But thats what language does, not what it is.Well get to why this is important in Step 2. For now, heres your first big piece of learning advice: Stop thinking about language as one big monolithic thing. Forget about the forest for a second, and lets look at the trees.All languages are made up of five systems:Phonology (speech sounds): The most basic component of language is the way we push air through our mouths and noses to make sounds that have meaning. Phonology studies all the sounds of a given lang uage, how theyre pronounced  and how we use them.Morphology (words and word parts): The morphology (from Latin morpho,  meaning shape or form) refers to words and their parts, like prefixes and suffixes. English morphemes would include words like book and run, but also particles like -ly or un- that arent standalone words even though they have meaning.Syntax (word order and sentence structure): Syntax refers to the underlying rules and logical patterns that generate that magical formula that determines the exact sequences words must be arranged in to make sense.Semantics (meanings of sounds, words and phrases): When we talk about heads of state or heading up a committee, we know its not about actual literal human heads, but rather some other extension of the semantic properties of head.  Semantics is the relationship between the sounds, word parts and phrases we use, and the meanings theyre meant to point our minds to.Pragmatics (social and situational context): In language and mean ing, context is key. Pragmatics is the system of language that tells us without thinking whether someone is talking about a flower from a garden or flour for baking, and the system that directs us to choose between phrases like excuse me, I need to use the restroom and hang on a sec, I gotta run to the john. Its like semantics in context, and theres a lot of overlap between the two.The reason looking at language like this is so powerful is that it enables you to take something impossibly large, unknowable and unwieldyâ€"languageâ€"and break it down into parts that you can begin to wrap your head around.Do you still understand nothing in your French class, even after two semesters? That doesnt mean youre bad at languages, but it might mean that phonologyâ€"being able to hear and recognize the sounds of the languageâ€"is challenging for you. And thats golden, because you cant fix the imaginary problem of being bad at languages, but there are a thousand ways to wake up the parts of you r brain that distinguish between speech sounds.When I started learning Spanish, I used to feel like Id never understand reflexive constructions with indirect objects, sentences like Se le dijo que le tocó mudarse  (he/she was told that he/she needed to move).For me, this problem was morphological and syntactical: I didnt understand how the parts of a verb like decirse  (the main verb of this sentence, which, thanks to Spanish morphology, doesnt even appear in this sentence) were broken apart when conjugated, and my confusion with the word order meant I never knew what was happening to the le and which word was acting on it.My English brain looks for a subject to be followed by a verb and then nicely tied up in an object (they told him to sign up) but Spanish has a different logic that was totally foreign to me. Pinpointing that problem and learning that foreign logic was the thing that saved me from hours of frustrated studying spent on all the wrong things.If you can dedicate just one day to learning about language itself, itll pay off throughout your language learning career. As you pick a language and start to expose yourself to it, remember to also understand it in terms of these five systems: What are the sounds like? Are there word parts that I see occurring in many different contexts? Do native speakers find this a ridiculous word to use here, and if so what is an appropriate synonym and why?Step 2: Embrace Your Strongest Learning StylesThats no typo: Youll need to engage  your strongest  learning styles, plural, to learn a language.If you think of yourself as simply a visual or hands-on learner, someone who needs to read it to understand it, or someone who lacks some nonexistent thing called book smarts, youre selling yourself way too short. And thatll get in the way of your language learning.There are many well-known frameworks and tests out there for determining your learning style, from the VARK to the Myers-Briggs personality test. They can provid e some valuable insights, but they also encourage you to think in absolutes and either-ors.Thats a shame, because we all have multiple intellectual strengths.My favorite framework for showing that is the theory of multiple intelligences, which holds that theres not just one general intelligence that everyone has to different extents, but rather a number of specific intelligences that we all have to different degrees and in various assortments throughout our lives.Here are the core intelligences as they relate to language learning.Musical-rhythmic intelligence: Also known as aural intelligence, this sensitivity to sound and rhythm is golden for language learning. Learners with strong musical-rhythmic intelligence might pick up new speech sounds easily, or might feel like they can hear a mental sound clip of the words or sounds theyre focused on.These learners benefit from putting anything to music or rhythm: Watching music videos or listening to podcasts can give musically intelligen t learners better grasp of things like the stops between words and phrases, and where native speakers emphasize different words and sounds in their speech.Visual-spatial intelligence: This intelligence understands the world like a series of pictures and images. Reading the words written down and seeing them in your mind might help you to understand them. Visually intelligent language learners do well with anything that gives them an image of a word or phrase, from video clips that show people talking about objects or acting out verbs, to making their own charts and visual dictionaries.Verbal-linguistic intelligence: High linguistic intelligence doesnt necessarily make you a better language learner than others, but rather implies that you understand the world largely through words. Verbal problem solving and the relationships between word parts might come easier for those with strong verbal-linguistic intelligence.Verbally intelligent learners  may consider focusing on how their unde rstanding of words can be used in conjunction with other intelligences for language learning in the form of language  games and engaging with the written and spoken word in various ways.Logical-mathematical intelligence: Strong logical-mathematical intelligence might incline you to naturally understand the cause-and-effect relationships that are so important to language, and may signal that youre fond of breaking linguistic ideas down into concrete parts, like verb conjugations and sentence diagrams.Logically intelligent learners should struggle to understand  why  one verb form has an e on the end and another doesnt, and generalize that information into rules about the language. Rote memorization without learning why  is the logical learners bane.Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence: Learners with high bodily-kinesthetic intelligence rely on their bodies for learning. They may learn well by acting out scenarios or playing a sport they already know in their target language. Kinesthetical ly intelligent language learners do best when moving and working with their hands, such as building or assembling something from directions in the target language.Interpersonal intelligence: Interpersonal or social intelligence is learning through group relationships and interactions with other people. Learners with this type of intelligence may find back-and-forth conversation both in and about their target language to be most stimulating, and may have an easy time picking up on things like social register or level of formality and body language.Interpersonal learners may be naturally talented at recognizing implicit meanings and connotations, and may learn better from working to understand one-on-one conversation than reading a book.Intrapersonal intelligence: Intrapersonal intelligence means knowing thyself, and generally entails a lot of quiet reflection and active processing. Learners with high intrapersonal intelligence may find themselves silently reviewing a conversation the yve just had and learning from their mistakes, and may have an easier time than others in identifying when and why they make particular kinds of mistakes. Intrapersonally intelligent learners might consider trying to silently think about their target language  in  the language itself.If you need help identifying your strongest intelligences for language learning, try an online quiz to point you in the right direction. Just remember not to focus on your one or two strongest learning styles or intelligence types to the exclusion of all others: Try to gain an understanding of how you learn best in different situations, and apply those different strategies to different kinds of learning tasks.Step 3: Understand Your MotivationSo youve got your Linguistics 101 down, and youve reflected on the different ways you learn. Theres one more critical step before you crack a book or register for a class, and thats answering the big question: Why?If you need to learn Chinese for the boardroom and conference calls, do you think a Skype exchange with a 20-year-old student in Shanghai will give you the requisite skills? Similarly, if your goal is to move abroad and make friends and build a social life in a foreign language, a grammar-intensive semester at your local community college wont do the trick.So why do you want to learn your language? Is it for business? Pleasure? Both? Neither? Are you still looking for the right language learning motivation?If you answer this question with for my career or for travel, dig deeper and strive to frame your answer in a way that lines up with the linguistic systems and learning styles we mentioned above.So if you want to learn Arabic for business, for what about business? If its just to write a line on your resumé that says you speak Arabic, well thats easy enough, but it misses the point. Will you need to read or write reports? What about giving presentations or attending conferences? Will smooth schmoozing skills open up new opportunit ies?Key in on the verb phrases hereâ€"read, write, give presentations, schmoozeâ€"and think about how they relate to learning styles and the systems of language. Then fasten your seatbelt and prepare for takeoff.Step 4: Pick an ApproachBy now youre probably wondering if all of this means that you should take a class or get private tutoring or do it all on your own or what. Well, the answer, as you might guess, is that theres no one-size-fits-all answer.The answer is based on your understanding of language and your insights into your own learning style and motivation for learning a language, as well as your life circumstances in the moment when you begin to learn a language.Whatever your strategy looks like, itll probably include some of these elements:The classroom. Its popular to hate on brick-and-mortar classrooms as outdated for language learners, but many benefit from group participation and asking questions face-to-face. Courses are typically more affordable than private lesson s, and they offer the kind of structure many of us need.Private tutoring. Usually more expensive than a class at your local learning center or language school, private tutoring is also more personalized, and allows you to build a relationship  with an expert and target the areas you need most help with. Take care in finding the right language tutor and build rapport over time.WyzAnt is the perfect place for finding a tutor for in-person lessons. You can browse tutors and see their rates along with ratings that have been given by other learners. If youre interested primarily in finding an online tutor, head over to Verbling. You can search tutors from all over the world and set up sessions right on the site!Online courses and tools. Thanks to the internet, you can now have a regular Skype class without leaving your living room or office. Digital tools also offer flexibility for busy people and those not ready for a daily or weekly commitment. You can browse  online language courses o r get started with some of  the best language learning apps.Self-study. Teaching yourself a language offers the most flexibility but the least guidance. For many, relying on language learning blogs, YouTube and good old-fashioned books is the way to go.A combination of these approaches. For most learners, mixing and matching these approaches is just right, and FluentU is a great resource for accomplishing this.  FluentU takes real-world videosâ€"like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talksâ€"and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.With the wealth of options available today, it would seem almost silly to limit yourself to one approach or another. What follows are a couple examples of how you can mix and match language learning approaches to meet your needs.Example 1: Shoestring Student BudgetYoure a young, broke college student with a zero dollar language learning budget, just like I was when I started learning languages, and you want to learn a lang uage or two to prep for your post-graduation backpacking trip.Youve never learned a language before, so youre not quite sure which systems of language trip you up, but your spelling in English or your mother language is not the best, and you have no idea what the past participle form of anything is.However, youre known for your spot-on impressions of regional accents in your country, which makes you think phonology and speech sounds might be your strong point. From there and based on the fact that you can remember anything in the world if its put to music, you might deduce that your musical-rhythmic intelligence is one of your best assets. Youre also one who likes to sit quietly and reflect (which by no means says that youre unsociable), so intrapersonal intelligence might be another helpful tool on your language learning journey.Since your ear is clearly leading the way, what with your strong musical-rhythmic intelligence and your talent for accents, let it also lead you into a new language. You might start out with a mix of music and talk radio in your target language, to get your brains feet wet, or you could try learning a language through music. While you build up your vocabulary with online tools and apps like games and flashcards, try to make connections to the words youre hearing on the radio and TV. Since your motivation is making new friends in different parts of the world, you might start out with some online tools and communities that connect you to Skype exchanges with native speakers.Example 2:  The Busy Business TravelerYou work for a firm that requires a lot of travel to Japan, and youre on the hunt for a raise. Youve got a budget to spend on language learning, but of course hardly any time for it.You reflect on your college language classes and remember feeling ridiculous for never figuring out how to roll your rs or make any of those strange vowel sounds, but that identifying word endings and being able to understand how different forms of th e same verb were all related was easier, which gives you a clue that morphology comes pretty easy for you.Thats probably because of your strong logical-mathematical intelligence that makes identifying patterns and correlations a cinch and takes all the challenge out of Sudoku puzzles. But your visual-spatial intelligence may deserve equal credit for that, since sometimes you find yourself visualizing a word in your head or needing to see it written down to understand it better.Play to your strengths and your schedule constraints by downloading the best puzzle and game apps to stimulate the logical part of your brain while learning new vocabulary. Between your sessions with the FluentU app for iOS  or Android during your morning and afternoon commutes, you can pencil in a private tutor several days a week, since theyll normally be able to be flexible in when they meet with you.Neither of these example approaches are meant to be exhaustive strategies, but rather beginning steps one mi ght take to start learning a language. The point is that it should be an inductive process: Start by looking at yourself and your strengths, weaknesses and goals, rather than letting the language or the way your friend learned Spanish dictate that for you.Language Learning Is for LifeOne of the most important rules of language learning is that youre never finished with it.As far as the internal wiring of our brains is concerned, we all learn languages the same. The differences come with the individual language learner: Even though its all based on the same principles, one persons wonder solution can be totally useless for the next.Thats why you should never let anyone tell you about the best way to learn languages.How we learn languages is by understanding languages, understanding how we learn, and understanding who we are and what we want.
