Gust MEES: d'abord je n'étais pas sûr de publier ceci, mais en activant mon sens critique (#criticalthinking) il me semble que c'est nécessaire de l'inclure dans cette rubrique "21st Century Learning and Teaching" ! Pourquoi ? Dans l'éducation il faut aussi avoir le courage d'éduquer les gens aux problèmes dans le monde, le monde dont ils vont être confrontés dès sortie de l'école... Et en voyant de pareils articles il me semble nécessaire de les faire voir aux étudiants et de discuter sur ce qui se passe et...

This curriculum is designed to give teachers a comprehensive set of tools to educate students about copyright while incorporating activities that exercise a variety of learning skills. Lesson topics include: the history of copyright law; the relationship between copyright and innovation; fair use and its relationship to remix culture; peer-to-peer file sharing; and the interests of the stakeholders that ultimately affect how copyright is interpreted by copyright owners, consumers, courts, lawmakers, and technology innovators.
The lesson plan concludes with a mock trial that tests the students' understanding of copyright and its limitations and encourages them to consider the positions of each party involved.

Becoming a Critic Of Your Thinking By Dr. Linda Elder and Dr. Richard Paul Learning the Art of Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is the disciplined art of ensuring that you use the best thinking you are capable of in any set of circumstances. The general goal of thinking is to “figure out the lay of the land” in any situation we are in. We all have multiple choices to make. We need the best information to make the best choices.
What is really going on in this or that situation? Are they trying to take advantage of me? Does so-and-so really care about me? Am I deceiving myself when I believe that…? What are the likely consequences of failing to …? If I want to do …, what is the best way to prepare for it? How can I be more successful in doing…? Is this my biggest problem, or do I need to focus my attention on something else?
Successfully responding to such questions is the daily work of thinking. However, to maximize the quality of your thinking, you must learn how to become an effective "critic" of your thinking. And to become an effective critic of your thinking, you have to make learning about thinking a priority.

My professional growth during this inquiry has centered on feedback, formative assessment and self-assessment. John Hattie's work has influenced me greatly in this as his research reveals that the strategy that leads to the greatest growth in students is teaching them how to critique their own work. At what point should this happen though?

After a typical day on planet Earth ... the Earth will be a little hotter, its waters more acidic, and the fabric of life more threadbare. The truth is that many things on which your future health and prosperity depends are in dire jeopardy: climate stability, the resilience and productivity of natural systems, the beauty of the natural world, and biological diversity.
It is worth noting that this is not the work of ignorant people. It is rather, largely, the result of work by ===> people with BAs, BSs, LLBs, MBAs and PhDs. <===

- Critical thinking is the mental process of objectively analyzing a situation by gathering information from all possible sources, and then evaluating both the tangible and intangible aspects, as well as the implications of any course of action.

Critical thinking skills are what we want our students to develop. Without these skills we can not guarantee a sound and effective education that will enable our kids to seamlessly blend in tomorrow 's job market. Therefore, it is our responsibility as teachers and educators to fully understand the components of this set of skills in order to better focus on them in our instruction.

BeSeen is provided by Carnegie Mellon University and Web Wise Kids to teach youth how to be responsible in social networks by securing their private and personal information, protecting their online reputation and defending their peers.
This online safety mobile application is a single-player game that simulates a social networking website. The player creates a profile and starts earning “friend” characters and interacting with them. They learn about others through their posts and help them through challenges in order to win awards and make new friends.
In BeSeen, the ultimate quest is to make friends. At first, that is a matter of getting involved in school activities, but as more friends join a social circle, they bring their problems with them. To keep friends and make more, it’s important not only to be involved but to be a good friend. Who is up for the challenge?
Web Wise Kids' President Judi Westberg Warren discusses how their BeSeen app, like Web Wise Kids' other games, teaches youth ===> how to think critically about the decisions they make online and on social networks. <===

Bill O’Connor works on the Corporate Strategy + Engagement team at Autodesk, where he co-manages the company’s thought leadership platform, edits the publication Autodesk POV, works on the Autodesk vision team, and serves as the primary speechwriter for Autodesk’s CEO and CTO.
He also runs the Innovation Genome Project, in which he and his team are researching the top 1,000 innovations in world history, looking for practical patterns and insights that people can apply to their day-to-day work.
So the relevant, two-chambered question here is:
1. Why are we so confused about what innovation is?
