The Unofficial Dalai Lama Guide To Online Teaching

The Unofficial Dalai Lama Guide To Online Teaching | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
The teachings of the Dalai Lama are as important as ever when it comes to online learning and online teaching.
Beth Dichter's insight:

This post discusses how big data is impacting education. In the discussion on big data the following question is raised: "How can we make our students (especially those online students) more successful? (In other words, retention, retention, retention.)" As she learned more about big data she wondered what happened to the human side of the equation, "the caring."

Although this article looks at online learning the words of the Dalai Lama ring true for all of us as educators. Read through them and see what you think. All words used in the image above were said by the Dalai Lama. My thanks to her for putting together some of his words and bringing them to our attention.

Although geared to journalists the book provides insights into data literacy, visualizing data, open data and more...and given that schools are data driven this may be an excellent resource for a wider audience.
