1. Morgan Freeman Video on FIRST® & Science Learning: Take 3 minutes to watch a video from actor Morgan Freeman on our website, detailing FIRST®, an amazing program that we will honor at Learning 2011. FIRST®, founded by Dean Kamen, is changing the culture in schools, increasing students’ engagement in Science and Technology through deep projects on robotics, with great mentoring from engineers in their communities. We will be making a $25,000 donation to FIRST® from the Learning Gives Back project and I want our field to better understand the excitement and changes that happen when students engage in project-based learning for technology. The future scientist that will one day discover the cure for Alzheimer’s may be in one of these teams. Watch Morgan Freeman at http://www.learning2011.com/firstvideo
2. Moneyball & Learning? Have any of our Learning TRENDS readers watched the movie “Moneyball” that is now in theaters, focused on baseball and understanding the numbers and metrics behind true performance? Bob Baker, our CLO, and I are starting to write an article on the concept of Moneyball for Learning: what are numbers/metrics/measures that would dramatically improve the performance of our learning, rather than just “prove” the impact or maybe ROI? If you have some thoughts or ideas, send them along to bob@masie.com We’ll publish a piece on this in a few weeks.
