Education : Best of 2024, semester#2

My usual readers. teachers and students could read some tips about AI in education on my last post Education: Best of 2024 - semester1. I hope it could be useful for all of you.


Recent technological advancements like AI have brought numerous opportunities for teachers and students


AI enables the access of new educational materials online and the swift sharing of information, facilitating seamless and secure connections among learners. 


"Physical distances and language barriers are no longer constraints for students and teachers, who can now engage in virtual teaching and learning from virtually anywhere. The emergence of distance or online learning technologies has paved the way for tailored coursework and blended learning approaches."






I, Human
Ai, Automation and the Quest to Reclaim
What Makes Us Unique
Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic

But challenges to. It will be interesting to introduce you an interrogation... "Will artificial intelligence improve the way we work and live, or will it alienate us? The choice is ours. What will we decide?"


So, I invite you, teachers and older students to read the boook I, Human by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic. In his book, the psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic offers a guide for reclaiming ourselves in a world in which most of our decisions will be made for us.


"Though AI has the potential to change our lives for the better", he argues, "AI is also worsening our bad tendencies, making us more distracted, selfish, biased, narcissistic, entitled, predictable, and impatient."


Filled with big-think fascinations and practical wisdom, I, Human is the book we need to thrive in the future.


Teaching is not an easy job, But it's one of the most rewarding. Being a teacher is a really complex job and the increased mainstream adoption of AI in schools or universities means the relationship between teachers and students will undoubtedly be different.

As my usual readers know my posts can be written in English, French and Portuguese (my mother language).On this post, only English and French.


The selection is based on page views but also based on pedagogical relevance of the most-read posts.

I kept the order of the most viewed. Sometimes some posts acquire too much visibility, not for their value but for the keywords that the search engines "like" indexing.



Here are the most popular posts 2nd semester 2024 :

My special choice of the #1st semester 2024? Games Awards 2024 : The winner is... Astro Bot ! 


Why ? It's the new era of technology. Students love games in school. They learn better and happier. And Astro Bot is pure joy.


It's like fragment of childhood sealed away and suddenly uncorked. It's like jumping into a ball pit as a grown-arse adult. It's magic.

Astro Bot is a 3D platformer where the player controls the title character, a small robot named Astro Bot, through the use of the DualSense controller


Astro's core move set is identical to previous entries, maintaining his ability to jump, hover, punch, and spin-attack, as well as being additionally granted the ability to ledge grab. The ability to swim underwater also returns from Astro Bot Rescue Mission, having been absent in Astro's Playroom.


Astro Bot has won the top prize at the videogame industry's biggest awards ceremony. The Games Awards 2024






Hoping to have inspire you as my usual readers, teachers in your lessons all over the last year. And students who read to my publications. 


First of all, we teachers don't want to be replaced for robots in the classroom!


May we never forget the love o teaching or help students to learn. We don't want to watch robots in our place. 


Teachers teach Peace to this new generation! Life is not a game. Students fight for human teachers in the classroom. You love robots? Only as helpers.

Technology is technology. People are human as you. Love your teachers. Help them not to give up from teaching.


Teachers have hope, continue to teach with passion, inspiring your students to be better human and new citizens in the future searching to live in peace and respect their teachers. 

Prepare students to the new world and a new way to learn with your help. Give them hope, joy, serenity. And continue to feel happy to be a teacher.
 

Your, our mission from the heart!

Here are the Best of 2022 semester #2




























Pinocchio
Guillermo del Toro

Pinocchio's adventures are not always funny. Indeed, they are sometimes sinister. 






Please let your students watch the video above. They would better understand why and how Guillermo del Toro magically imagined and directed his beautiful Pinocchio animation stop-motion.

For the first time after years of adaptions, Guillermo del Toro told us the real story written by Carlo Collodi. So as I wrote before, teachers must pay attention to little kids. 

 “Animation is not a genre for kids, it’s a medium.”

The film is not similar to the traditional Disney story. It's different. It's the real story! Some scenes can shock kids. Guillermo del Toro’s eye for scene design coupled with his attention to detail that makes stop-motion filmmaking so palpably engaging and visually appealing, someone wrote.

Holiday season is near. Easter is next 9 April. Spring time will help kids and families who will enjoy the traditional host of Easter egg hunts outdoor across the world.

Hoping to have inspired you someway in your lessons all over the last year. Blog resumes as normal next week.

La Journée Internationale du Petit Prince, ce 29 juin 2022 est l'occasion de fédérer plusieurs initiatives autour de messages d'espoir, de paix et de respect. 

Cette année, Le Petit Prince en a appelé à l'imagination et à la créativité en lançant un grand Concours artistique pour petits et grands du monde entier. 

Comme chaque année, la Journée Internationale du Petit Prince, ou Petit Prince Day, aura lieu le 29 juin 2022, date d'anniversaire d'Antoine de St Exupéry.






Avec plus de 200 millions d'exemplaires vendus dans le monde, Le Petit Prince est devenu un symbole d'optimisme et d'espoir pour des générations de lecteurs. 

Cette journée hommage a pour vocation de promouvoir les valeurs du Petit Prince et, cette année, l'imagination et la création seront mises à l'honneur à l'occasion d'un grand concours artistique autour du thème :


"On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur

(une phrase que le renard confia au Petit Prince).
