Curiosity: a risky practice, but a very interesting one!
When it comes to encouraging curiosity, students, teachers and administrators alike are walking on eggshells. We want to encourage curiosity, but not just any old way... Two lessons to help the curious survive.
Learning by playing outside
Taking a class outside is often perceived as an "ordinary" class in a less controlled context. We almost forget that outdoor learning can lead to play. There's no added value in just lecturing in the forest. Taking advantage of the setting so that students can have fun in it makes much more sense.
How to erase our tracks
We create traces as soon as we do anything, in reality as well as in virtual worlds. So how do we erase our traces? There's no shortage of strategies, from obliteration to submersion, discover them all!
Integrating virtual reality into educational scenarios
Virtual reality has been democratized among the general public and the education sector. However, headsets are still expensive and introducing this technology in an educational setting requires consistency. Which uses are able to inculcate knowledge and skills?
Rooting migrant students in their host country
The issue of integration of migrants creates strong emotions. However, these people have uprooted themselves for a reason. What if this recognition of these difficult human stories helped to welcome them? Hence the importance of addressing these issues in addition to inviting these newcomers to participate in various extracurricular activities.
