eric mazur

twilight of the lecture
talk on lecture jan 20 2012
(did Carl Wieman share this at some point? i saw Mazur explaining in much same way, but like 4 years ago - that's how we jumpstarted self-directed pre ap alg 2.)

Dr Mazur, should i answer according to the way you taught me or according to the way i usually think about these things..shift from teaching to helping to learn
The danger with lucid lectures—of which we have so many on this campus, with so many brilliant people—is that they create the illusion of teaching for teachers, and the illusion of learning for learners,
If learning is indeed a social experience, then a “party school”—of a certain kind—just might offer the richest learning environment of all.    


or via Dave Cormier, community as curriculum.
per choice..
Colin Ward, child playing in the city.. no?


assessment drives everything.. and we have prove teaching to test doesn't work.he lets kids bring anything in to test.80% of my previous assess ?'s would have been worthless if i had done open book.
what about self-assess... as key..
manifest on public ed  - amazing how fitting to our work today.
