Reframing classroom chatter
A normal situation that can be reduced
All teachers will encounter chatter in their classes. It's an inescapable reality and, yes, it can be a pain to have to reframe your class when it happens. But it's part of classroom management. On his YouTube channel, teacher and trainer Naïm Bououchma has decided to tackle the subject and explain how he goes about disciplining his students.
First of all, never start a class by trying to talk over the students who are discussing. This shows the students that the teacher can do his or her own talking. You have to proactively seek attention, even with a certain empathy, taking into account the need to talk, but that this is an important moment when things need to be explained.
If students start chattering away during the teacher's talk, rather than interrupting every time, it may be better to move towards the people concerned while continuing to talk to and about others.
When a student takes the floor, it's vital from the outset to reiterate the respect owed to him or her and, if some argue during, stop the student and ask the others to respect his or her word as theirs will be respected when they speak.
Finally, as he says, informal chatting is necessary; even teachers indulge in it extensively in plenary sessions. So allowing time for it, whether as part of teamwork or otherwise, will reduce the need for reframing in lessons.
Nobody messes with money. In a globalized world, the interests of both parties can quickly clash and escalate into commercial conflicts. While these can be settled in court, more and more parties are requesting arbitration to resolve disputes quickly and inexpensively.
Huge platforms are ready to be deployed in an ecosystem not yet ready to jump into the metaverse. And which metaverse? The fun one or the work one? Which one will take over and affect the school?
Many treasures remain hidden, even before our eyes. Around the world, a large number of mummies, coffins and sarcophagi are admired in museums by millions of visitors. And what if the colours used in the production of these coffins contained a wealth of information? Let's find out with Lucile Brunel-Duverger's thesis.
If you're looking for a "collaboration tool" on the Internet, you're sure to be overwhelmed by the flood of proposals: several hundred, each with their own unbeatable features. The field of collaboration tools is booming. Typology, examples and references.
The question is not whether to obey or resist, but how to cultivate intelligent obedience. How can we transform potential disobedience into a force for ethical regulation?
