com   As illustrated in the introduction
discussion this week, each of you has experienced
a unique journey through a variety of educational
experiences throughout your lives. Naturally,
some of these experiences will have contributed
to your personal development and identity with
greater impact than others. Furthermore, many
in-school variables have affected your
educational journey. The decisions made by those

Arcade. 1st Post Due by Day 3. Caine is a
9-year-old boy whose afterschool and weekend
project turned into an international imagination
movement. As theCaines Arcade video explains,
Caine built a gaming arcade almost entirely out
of cardboard and opened it up for business in the
storefront of his fathers auto parts store. This
story provides an excellent example of how
characteristics of Caines personal identity
might affect how and what he learned from the
specific experiences portrayed. The cultural
values that nurtured Caines curiosity and
inventiveness can be identified within his video

the Classroom For more classes visit www.snaptutor
ial.com   Nikhil Goyal is a successful high
school student who, like many students his age,
hates school. But unlike most students his age,
Nikhil wrote a speech about it and delivered it
to a global audience via a TEDX Youth(2012)
presentation. The central theme of the
presentation is relevance and, specifically, how
schools often lack relevance to the lives of
their learners. The majority of Nikhils story
focuses on Nick Perez, a boy who was marginalized
in school and medicated to be able to adhere to
the parameters of thought and behavior expected
for participation in the school. As you view the
presentation, you will learn how Nick became
disillusioned by the lack of relevancy and
interest in his studies and how his
disenfranchisement eventually led him to drop out
of school.

As educators, knowing about the 21st- century
skills is important, and being able to recognize
the skills within specific examples is an
indicator that you truly understand them and how
they work in application. In Week One, we
discussed the story of Caine and his arcade as a
way to explore how culture influences creativity,
imagination, and inventiveness. In this
discussion, we go a step further by considering
21st-century skills in relation to another
inspiring story of creativity, imagination, and
inventiveness.

Challenges For more classes visit www.snaptutorial

This discussion focuses on identifying the
economic, technological, social and personal
factors outside of school that can result in
barriers to academic success inside school. From
Week Ones readings of the course text and the
assessments related thereto, you should now be
familiar with the research that describes the
relationship between factors of social class and
school success, the impact of diversity on
learning, and the importance of family
involvement. These factors represent powerful
variables outside school that impact learning
inside school. For this discussion, discuss
factors in your own life, outside of school and
the direct and indirect relationships with your
learning experiences inside of school. Be sure to
review the Week Two Instructor Guidance for
additional information that can assist you in
excelling in all assessments for this week.

Robinson (2011) noted that When people say to me
that they are not creative, I assume that they
havent yet learnt what is involved (p. 1). Do
you find it interesting to consider that
creativity can be learned? Or conversely, that it
can be unlearned? In this discussion, you will
apply your knowledge of creativity and the
strategies needed to encourage it by reflecting
on a personal experience in which your creativity
was either stifled or enhanced. Please review

Problem-Based Learning For more classes
visit www.snaptutorial.com     For this
assignment, you need to assume the role of a
classroom educator. This can be based on a class
that you are currently teaching, one that you
have previously taught, or one that you hope to
teach in the future. Suppose you are
participating in a department team meeting with
the other teachers in your grade level. You are
having a discussion about an upcoming unit. One
of the teachers indicates that she plans to
distribute the same packets she used last year
and schedule five days of independent seat work
for her students to complete the packets by
locating answers in the course textbook. This
would be followed by a written exam over the
material in the packets.

Decisions! 1st Post Due by Day 3. Teachers are
professionals who must make many decisions
throughout their day! Some decisions are
immediate, spur of the moment choices like
disciplining students or revising a lesson that
is not working. Others decisions are more
calculated, like developing a semester-long
project designed to incorporate community
resources into a problem-solving scenario. All
the small decisions teachers make throughout
their day likely support the two most important,
larger overarching decisions that are made at the
beginning of a learning experience and are based
in part on many macrocultural and microcultural
factors What is truly important for students
to learn?
