This Will Revolutionize Education

Veritasium
14 vistas · 6 años hace

Many technologies have promised to revolutionize education, but so far none has. With that in mind, what could revolutionize education?
These ideas have been percolating since I wrote my PhD in physics education: http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au..../super/theses/PhD(Mu
I have also discussed this topic with CGP Grey, whose view of the future of education differs significantly from mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vsCAM17O-M

I think it is instructive that each new technology has appeared to be so transformative. You can imagine, for example, that motion pictures must have seemed like a revolutionary learning technology. After all they did revolutionize entertainment, yet failed to make significant inroads into the classroom. TV and video seem like a cheaper, scaled back film, but they too failed to live up to expectations. Now there is a glut of information and video on the internet so should we expect it to revolutionize education?

My view is that it won't, for two reasons: 1. Technology is not inherently superior, animations over static graphics, videoed presentations over live lectures etc. and 2. Learning is inherently a social activity, motivated and encouraged by interactions with others.

To relax. To disconnect from the tentacles of 24/7 technology. To truly unplug. It’s become more than a goal. It’s become a necessity. And, it’s become more difficult than ever to do, especially when we sleep. Essential to one’s complete physical, emotion and mental health, the deeper and more tranquil sleep, the better. The answer to those better nights lies with music.

Think of the baby and the lullaby; how the gentle sounds, almost instinctively, hypnotically induce a calming, soothing state ideal for sleeping. Slower rhythms with soft sonic edges, played at a consistent volume, encourage deep relaxation, blocking out distractions, and helping the body to quickly find and maintain its natural sleep rhythm. Music is the medicine.

Chronic sleep problems can be physically draining, and turn what should be hours of blissful escape into anxiety-ridden nightly recurrences. Set aside the daily grind and unwind with music designed specifically to promote soothing dream states, and provide more rejuvenation in the morning. Not to mention the proven benefits of lower heart rate and lower blood pressure, reduced insomnia, and increased energy the next day.

It’s time to fall asleep faster, wake-up less, and feel more rested in the morning. It’s time for Music For Sleep.

Himekami ‎姫神 – Moonwater (1989) FULL ALBUM

Himekami, aka Himekami Sensation ((姫神せんせいしょん) was the musical project of late electronic composer and musician Yoshiaki Hoshi. The j-card and contents of this tape highlight the context of the new age music craze, with a catalog of other Higher Octave releases and a postcard to send to the label for more info.

Moonwater was an album that saw an audience wider than that of his native Japan, seeing distribution in the US via Higher Octave Music.

This album exemplifies the new age electronic style he was best known for, new age meets traditional music with unabashed synth timbres and instrumentation. It was a departure from his synthpop and electro-pop albums earlier in his career, which sounded more like YMO than say, his new age peer Kitaro.

Himekami was quite prolific, releasing dozens of albums and and having work appear in various film, TV and VG soundtracks. Although a solo moniker he worked with his wife Etsuko and performed with a band live, a band that continued to perform and record after his death in 2004 under the direction of his son Yoshiki.

Free Higgs!

To celebrate the announcement of the discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs Boson at the LHC, I took to the streets with Vi Hart to give out free Higgs. Now giving out a subatomic particle, especially the Higgs, would have been incredibly difficult so instead we gave out hand-drawn cards of the Standard Model, our current best theory of all matter particles in the universe and their iteractions (now with Higgs!). We also offered a hug with an integer spin, usually 1 or 2 (and in rare cases 0). This is a way of showing others that you care about the Higgs Boson.
