Collective intelligence

Protocols for small group work in the classroom are methods, or systems that are put in place before commencing group work, to help people work together and aid small groups to run efficiently. Four protocols that that encourage effective group work are elements in planning, levels of group development, exercises for group work and benefits of group work (Whitton, 2016). The protocol of having elements in planning concerns the type and size of small groups. There are many ways a teacher can form…

• Introduction: In order to help students become engaged and motivated I will begin class with an interactive choral response activity, which will help students with their fluency. I will explain to students that we will count to 20 both backwards and forwards and in order to know whether to count up or down students will need to watch my hands/fingers for the signals. When I point my finger up students will count forward, when I point my finger down students will count backwards, and when I…

The app I’ve chosen to modify is noredink.com. It is a writing and grammar-based app designed to provide learners leveled practice in grades K-12. It uses “high interest content” based on student interests and names. Practice lessons are adaptive to each students’ needs, so there is no set number questions. The app also includes a diagnostic feature and quizzes with feedback. Teachers can assign specific lessons or the lessons are scaffolded in complexity. While sentences and practice…

Chapter eight looks at how blending younger and older generations enhances each other’s abilities. Either generation can become the student or the teacher, because so much has changed that either generation can give knowledge of how they learned (Beynon & Alfano pg121). Chapter eight includes two case studies that deal with the blending of the older and younger generations. The first case study deals with a boys and men’s choir. The Amabile Boys and Men’s Choirs case study provided that the…

Human intelligence is defined as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. Gardner had a different idea of what being intelligent actually meant. In fact, he states that there are multiple types of intelligence that one can have. His works shows that children are not at the same stage intelligence wise, which challenged the work of Piaget. Gardner used his work to show that educators should integrate educational theories, teaching strategies, and other pedagogic tools in meaningful…

The fundamental roles of social interaction is the theme stressed in Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development as the whole comunity has a big part to do in a child's development unlike Piaget who believes that a childs develpment is ahead of their social learning. The zone of proxmial development is the conttrast with what an individual learner can and cannot do with or without assistances, an example could be a university student who understand course material being studied in lectures and…

“Does anyone know the difference? I’m pretty sure everyone has judged a book by its cover before!”. We all know that neat people are the ones that do not care about process, They like to see results. However, sloppy people are disorganized, but they tend to put more effort into whatever it is that they are doing. First of all, sloppy people have patience for everything, whether it’s at home, at school or at work.When they have a lot of homework that they need to have done, they will always have…

new book, “Smarter,” he embraces scientists’ assertions that cognitive training can increase working memory — the mental holding space in which we manipulate and combine facts and ideas — and even fluid intelligence, the all-purpose problem-solving capacity that is partner to crystallized intelligence, or knowledge stored in memory.…

Many people believe that an intelligent person are more likely going to life a happy life, but this movies shows otherwise. It really shows how that even intelligent people don’t always have it easy in life. The main character, Will, is portrayed as a genius but lives in a poverish like life style. Rather than use his talents to the best of his ability he would often hang out with friends. They would typically would do delinquent (not juvenile delinquent) like activities and get themselves in…

As Lao Tzu said, “If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place.” In “Flowers for Algernon,” Charlie Gordon is the subject of an experiment to correct his mind. Charlie is the ideal choice for this experiment, because his progress can be easily tracked through his writing, and his character traits make him easy to work with. Before Charlie’s neurosurgical operation, the quality of his written progress reports was poor. His spelling and grammar was horrible, and most…
