Greetings fellow academic-practitioners,
- Do you bask in the perusal of readings, plus those suggested and referenced in said articles as well?
- Do you love finding new ways of thinking?
- Are you comfortable with cognitive dissonance?
If so, starting on September 8th, and continuing every
Thursday, in the Strategy Room
at Lunch
we will create a:
Learning Alchemists* Environment
We will:
- Survey current, seminal, and even abject books on education, learning, and the periphery;
- Analyse, elucidate, and debate Peer Reviewed articles;
- Reflect on TED videos and the like;
- Criticise and appraise current practice, gadgetry, and trends;
- Share Ideas and “best practice";
- Create an ongoing agenda as a group.
You need to:
- Update your iPhones 😉
- Be prepared for controversy and aha moments
- Bring a lunch (Maybe we’ll order in sometime)
- Do prior readings – or watchings (if called for)
You do not need:
- To come every week or for the whole of lunch (You can drop in and leave any time)
For our first encounter, we will watch a video,
comment on and critique it,
and create an agenda of items, readings, and videos for the next few meetings.
Come one, Come all.
Nihil Sine Causa (or is there?)
