Theme 25: Education

There is no greater delight than something discovered and a love of learning. But, in order to learn something, you have to know that you didn't know it in the first place and really be willing to explore it.

In order to find your artistic voice, you need to make some decisions about what's important to you. What is it that you want to express?

I'm blown away and compelled to share this amazing knowledge that we as a human race have gleaned about our place in the universe. We still don't fully understand how the universe originated, how life on earth began, how it thrives at the deepest depths of our oceans, atop mountains, in deserts, or even in the cold reaches of space.

Step away from the obvious and try something that’s foreign and different, just to see if it works.

I think that many people would be surprised to know that Oxford was started by rebel students from Paris, Cambridge by rebels from Oxford, and Harvard by rebels from Cambridge. So, if these schools, which were born of revolution, could become amongst the most revered sites of learning in the world, who's to say that other radical propositions could not be valued equally.

L’éducation libère de l’ignorance, des préjugés et des conventions. [pensée de Platon]

Our failures challenge us.

We learn what we want to learn. We learn when we're ready to learn.

Work hard before it becomes hard work. Get ahead of the work before it becomes hard work.

Attitude, peers and mentors, I think are three components to a creative education.

Be open about what you don't know.

Everybody is growing. Everybody is learning. Those people who are out in front of you that you are comparing yourself to, feeling like you're not catching up or you're not getting there, they've got some more years on you. But they are still learning and they're still growing as well...So be hungry to catch them, but don't be down comparing your beginning to somebody else's middle.

You've got to be positive...I think there is a little bit too much celebration of failure, I think we need to learn from failure. But we need to celebrate success.

I've been out of school for five years now and I'm not sure it's a coincidence that those five years have been the best of my life.

Programming has only be around for 50 years so we are really young into this kind of field where we tell computers what to do.

When you start teaching programming in the elementary school everybody gets a chance to learn it.

The world is being built more and more on computer code.

If you want to make something that the whole world knows and uses, you better learn how to program.

It's not what you do or how you do it, it's why you do it.

It takes the same amount of effort to play big, as it does to play small.

Si lo escucho lo olvido, si lo veo lo aprendo; pero si lo hago lo entiendo

A los niños les enseñamos el ciclo de la vida: nace, se reproduce, muere. Como nos va a pasar a todos... Y ellos lo ven, lo viven y termina siendo salud para ellos

Es otra de las cosas que debemos aprender: cuidar nuestro espacio de trabajo

Nosotros vamos a comer toda la vida. Y si no respetamos la tierra nos van a manejar a nosotros lo que tenemos que comer

Queremos enseñarles que las plantas crecen de la tierra. ¡La comida se levanta del suelo, es increíble y es gratis!

Cuánta fuerza tengo que hacer para romper un huevo

Les damos cuchillos, porque sabemos que un niño con un cuchillo, que lo sabe manipular, es mucho menos peligroso que un niño con un cuchillo que no sabe manejar

Los niños haciendo, aprenden

Si nosotros respetamos la tierra y aprendemos a sacar el alimento de ella, el camino es en bajada.

Para hacer hincapié en el consumo de vegetales tenemos que hacerlo, y para hacerlo tenemos que conectarnos con la tierra... Porque de ahí sale la comida

I am going to take a big fat moment to express my gratitude for being alive and well in Austin, Texas

People fear creativity because they fear change.

I am going to take a big fat moment to express my gratitude for being alive and well in Austin, Texas this morning.

Individuals want to work differently but the reality of most jobs just doesn't align to that and as result you get a lot of pain, you get a lot of friction. You get a lot of people feeling like a square peg in a round hole.

J'essaye de créer un environnement. C'est peut-être ça le truc que moi j'essaye de faire avec mes étudiants, c'est de créer un environnement pour qu'il se passe des choses. Quoi exactement ? Je ne sais pas. Je sais où j'ai envie de les emmener, sur une série de démarches, de faire un update system par rapport à l'usage des réseaux sociaux et de manière générale, c'est quoi la culture numérique dans laquelle on baigne et comment est-ce que je peux essayer de les amener à évoluer là-dessus, mais j'ai une obligation de moyens, pas de résultats.

C'est tous les outils que j'essaye de leur donner.

Leur seules vraie porte de sortie vers le haut, c'est de se créer leur propre carrière.

J'ai pas un syllabus, j'ai pas un cours. Il y a un déroulé de ce que je pense être la manière la plus intéressante de pouvoir les faire monter en puissance, d'abord partir d'eux, de qui ils sont, de pourquoi ils se lèvent le matin, qu'est-ce qui les excite, et puis comment ils mettent ça au service de la communauté, comment ils placent les utilisateurs au centre des processus, comment faire en boucles de rétro-action, comment acquérir des feedbacks, etc.

Moi mon job, c’est de leur donner tout ce que j’ai en magasin, au moment où je l’ai, pour qu’eux arrivent à s’individualiser, arrive à trouver leur « pourquoi je me lève le matin », « qu’est-ce qui fait que je suis présent en ligne », « qu’est-ce qui fait que j’ai envie de vivre une vie excitante », et de leur donner des outils pour le faire et un mindset qui est, je pense, à l’heure où on se parle, pas inintéressant, mais peut-être que dans six mois, les choses vont changer et vont évoluer.

Nowadays the value of interdisciplinary knowledge is unbelievably huge.

The idea that education is an important part of your free time must take root in your mind.

Unfortunately, in most of educational environments curiosity tends to be simply shut down as unnecessary.

We all actually enjoy solving problems. It's our natural gift.

El porqué hago las cosas, es más importante para mi motivación y para mi éxito que el «para qué» las hago

Más ciencia es mejor educación, y mejor educación es más libertad.

Los cambios grandes los empujamos entre muchos.

[Los divulgadores] se están animando a sacarse la solemnidad de encima, y a hablar de ciencia de forma muy seria y para todos. Tenemos la ilusión de que esto lleve a un camino parecido a un re-renacimiento.

"No quiero malgastar el tiempo en estudiar, porque lo que quiero es aprender"

La revolución que representan las redes sociales, la comunicación 2.0, Facebook, y -sobre todo- Twitter, pueden llegar a ser el hito más importante en la comunicación desde la invención de la imprenta.

El método científico es una herramienta demasiado importante para que sea de uso exclusivo de los investigadores.

Lo que empuja al conocimiento no es la certeza, sino la curiosidad.

¿Puede ser que la labor principal del docente no tenga que ver con transmitir conocimiento del punto A al punto B, sino con acompañar la formación de sujetos críticos que puedan armar las preguntas correctas?

If you give, you will really live.

The only thing that holds us back is us.

Don't expect things to be easy and stop living in fear and being afraid to make mistakes and make better choices. Your dreams bring meaning to your life and they are worth the pain and they are worth fighting for.

We have to become men and women of extraordinary impact. Men and women who aren't afraid to have bigger dreams, bolder dreams, and a vision for the future. Stop making excuses with the word impossible. Impossible is nothing. It's a dare.

Children need to know how much you care before they care how much you know. If they don't see the action, it doesn't carry a lot of meaning

By first grade, the map has been drawn. The lines can be changed and manipulated but the map is there. What we are doing with children matters. What we are doing with young children especially matters.

The things you do mean more than the things you say. The actions are the message with children.

The reason why it’s [education] so important is because it’s a fight for what young people will think. It’s what young people should know, what all people might posses in information or knowledge in order to communicate with each other and even other cultures… It’s also a battlefield for the kind of place that you would live it, it would define the people around you and it would also define the education level of people who vote in a democracy.

It’s education I can’t stand, but it’s learning I love.

The act of me declaring myself a student is as important as the act of me declaring myself the teacher or master in any given situation, and I like to exchange that from time to time.

Talking about not knowing and knowing and the space between, is a great privilege… It’s about a bridge. When you talk about not knowing something, it is almost the precise formation of what you wish to know.

Education, and in particular learning, is like one of these wonderful self-fulfilling prophecies. As soon as you can articulate what you want to know, it is there for your grasp.

If you can't love them, you can't teach them

Cram it memorize it, do it on the test and then forget it. That was the education model, and that’s not good enough for us

Debe de haber una forma de medir el impacto, para saber puntualmente qué es lo que se puede mejorar.

Debemos crecer las habilidades socio-emocionales para mejorar el futuro de la educación.

Creemos en una empresa social, expuesta a las fuerzas del mercado.

Para que funcione la educación, es necesario que todos hagan su parte.

La escuela tradicional, crea redes, relaciones entre personas. Algo que desde la educación virtutal es más difícil replicar.

Los maestros deben de tener preparación en inteligencia emocional, liderazgo, creatividad, para poder compartirla con sus alumnos.

El rol de los maestros es muy importante, no se puede sustituir por completo por la computadora.

Es importante ver en prácticas de campo, el área de tu proyecto, las estadísticas por sí solas pueden confundirte.

No siempre viene la necesidad antes que el deseo de aprender.

Los mejores programas de educación siempre tienen un componente lúdico.

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram... son juegos sociales complejos.

El rol de la tecnología, viene a cambiar la industria educativa

Life can be amazing, use that as your education.

I am a possibility

a lot of your friends and your social network is a function of the context you share
