Sir Ken Robinson: Bring on the learning revolution! | Video on TED.com:

And here's a talk with no slides! Did you see his first talk (about schools killing creativity?) it's a classic!

Good news... it think we'll be in our normal room tomorrow. F601... Check there before going to B549.

Julie and Francois aren't going to make it but hope everyone else can... it's our last session...

see you there!

"In this poignant, funny follow-up to his fabled 2006 talk, Sir Ken Robinson makes the case for a radical shift from standardized schools to personalized learning -- creating conditions where kids' natural talents can flourish."

Sorry

Hi everybody,

again and again, sorry again. I won't be able to be with you tomorrow, because - it's obvious - I have a presentation friday morning and I have to work on it tomorrow. I don't know if you remember but it is the presentation about Wiener and the communication paradigm.
Sure that I will remember your comments friday at 11:00 ! :)

Hope you are all fine,
see you soon I hope and thanks for the nice moments we shared during this english course,

An interesting talk... especially since he doesn't use powerpoint or other slideware, just a flip chart!

Our last class is this coming Thursday. 2pm in B549... (sniffle, sniffle)

We should have 7 short (5 to 10) minute presentations... Which I'm looking forward to listening to!

(Minimum 5 minutes... maximum 10 minutes! KISS! "Keep it short and simple.")

See you there

American Civilisation presentation tomorrow (in French)

our second-to-last class will be this coming Thursday!  and we should have the first 4 or 5 five-minute presentations, please prepare them carefully. See you soon
james

oh, btw....

tomorrow Wednesday at 3:15 pm in F900 I have the honor of presenting (with three other American colleagues) some aspects of American civilization in French! It's a course that's open to everyone so if you're free and at Telecom anyway you can listen and watch our presentation that we'll be doing in French!  I do a part on American symbols at the beginning!
