  • I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions

    in which they can learn.

    Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

  • There are billions of neurons in our brains, but what are neurons? Just cells. The brain has no knowledge until connections are made between neurons.

    All that we know, all that we are, comes from the way our neurons are connected.

    -- Tim Berners-Lee

  • Teachers Concerns

    Students can no longer prepare bark to calculate problems. They depend instead on expensive slates. What will they do when the slate is dropped and breaks?

    Teachers Conference, 1703

  • Teachers Concerns

    Students depend on paper too much. They no longer know how to write on a slate without getting dust all over themselves. What will happen when they run out of paper?

    Principals Association Meeting, 1815

  • Teachers Concerns

    Students depend too much upon ink. They no longer know how to use a knife to sharpen a pencil.

    National Association of Teachers, 1907

  • Teachers Concerns

    Students depend too much on store bought ink. They dont know how to make their own. What will happen when they run out?

    Rural American Teacher, 1928

  • Teachers Concerns

    They say now the educational systems have undergone a paradigm shift and its no longer teacher-centric or classroom centric

    - ITS STUDENT CENTRIC !

    - ITS LEARNER CENTRIC !!

  • If Education goes out of Classrooms and the Knowledge gets liberated from Teachers, what would be the role of Educators?

  • Pedagogy
  • Andragogy >> Learner Learners self-concept moves from dependency to

    independency or self-directedness

    They accumulate a reservoir of experiences that can be used as a basis on which to build learning

    Their readiness to learn becomes increasingly associated with the developmental tasks of social roles

    Their time and curricular perspectives change from postponed to immediacy of application and

    From subject-centeredness to performance-centeredness

  • The highest education is that whichdoes not merely give us information but

    makes our life in harmony with all existence.

    Rabindranath Tagore

  • I read, I forget

    I discuss, I remember

    I do, I inculcate

  • It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one

    that is the most adaptable one to change

    - Charles Darwin

  • The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot

    learn, unlearn and relearn
