All Addictions All the Time Help for

Typing with your fingers, hunting and pecking with a pointer OR do you use both thumbs? Are you more highly evolved and search by voice? Or are you always trying to figure it out. All of us come to our devices and most quickly absorb them as appendages / assistants -- albeit sometimes dysfunctional ones.

Seneca Rewritten for all of Us

Hurry up and live, and consider each day as a completed life...

One who believes every day that life has been complete enjoys peace of mind.
S/he enjoys the present without depending on what does not yet exist...
S/he does not hurl toward an uncertain goal, for s/he is satisfied with what s/he has.
 
Nor is s/he satisfied with little, for what s/he possesses is in the universe...
"All this belongs to me".

-- Seneca, Roman Philosopher and Statesman via ME Middleton

Taking care of yourself and your gifts is a way of honoring the Giver. Live Now.

Kellers ARCS Model of Learning Motivation

Kellers ARCS Model of Learning Motivation: ... how to create lessons and tailor teaching to produce motivation in the ... A teacher should make steps to learning (like scaffolding) to help them succeed ...

Alas, I did not learn everything in grad school. You must keep on learning all the time, and one of my fellow instructional designer / technology geek girls shared her knowledge of ARCS with me. I love that it integrates Attention and Relevance as essential to learning. This slide show is a nice introduction to anyone who wants to teach something.

Dividing the Workload

Dividing the Workload

A manager, teacher, supervisor of any kind who does not know how to divide workload can ruin the productivity of those they employ if they cannot determine optimal levels of productivity. When it is so hard for us to self-report accurately as human, how can we hope to learn how to do it for others with trial and error.

Critical Thinking? How disappointed would Socrates Be?

Reason to live | General | Times Higher Education



In the Theaetetus, Socrates asks "What is knowledge?" And having been
told that it is geometry and shoemaking and so forth, he replies, "You
were not asked what things there is knowledge of, nor how many sorts of
knowledge there are ... for our aim in asking was not to count the sorts
of knowledge but to know what knowledge itself is."



Asking the right questions is one half of knowledge.

Will Accreditation Trump Diplomas?

Thinking about Accreditation in a Rapidly Changing World (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUCAUSE.edu

A new path for CBE accreditation would likely focus on three key areas:

1. The learning outcomes or competencies—looking hard at the clarity of claims, definitions and rubrics, rigor, levels of mastery, scope of learning, the basis for the competencies, and more
2. The assessment of mastery—looking hard at mastery assessment, validity, rigor, and more
3. Integrity—looking hard at how the program ensures that the students taking the assessments are those who enrolled, that cheating and fraud are prevented, and that funding support is appropriate and goes to actual demonstrated learning
