3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #167, 19th September 2023

‘Learning’ it is said, brings a constant change in performance in our quality of life and work. What have you learned today? what have you shared today? what are you going to teach tomorrow? How are you planning to learn and/or share and/or teach? That is the way of life in the times we live in today. The way we learn and the experience we have while learning, shapes our decision, our confidence, and our beliefs in whether we want to learn more or at all.

Two Thoughts of the Week:

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”—Alvin Toffler

“He who learns but does not think is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.”—Confucius

One Video of the Week:

How we learn is more important than what we learn. This is the heart of Dr. Glenn Dakin’s work and talk. Learning experiences have the power to transform our worldviews. To do this, we need to understand how each learner learns. Do people learn differently? How personal can and should the learning process become? Does everyone use the same skills differently? These are the kinds of questions that Dr. Dakin has asked for 50 years in his career; from his beginnings in gas stations and retail management all the way to his work with firms and institutions such as the Department of the Interior, PepsiCo, Unisys Corporation and American Intercontinental University, where he teaches educators from elementary to higher education. As a Master of Education instructor, Dr. Dakin has concentrated his career on exploring how we apply and plan our learning experiences to enhance what we learn and how we learn.

Guest Expert of the Week: Reading with Ms. Meenu.

How Do Active Readers Read a Book?

Before reading, active readers:

· Read (or find out) the title and the author and look at and think about what they notice on the cover and the back of the book.

· Ask: What do I know about this type of test? This story? This topic? This author?

· Take a thoughtful peek inside and predict what the story might be about, or what they might learn.

During reading, active readers:

· Read the pictures.

· Read the words they know.

· Use their own words to read a book they’ve heard before

After reading, active readers:

· Ask: What was this book about?

· Ask: What did I learn?

· Ask: What do I understand now that I didn’t understand before?

· Ask: What did I learn about myself as a reader?

Dear reader,
I have been a research scientist, a journalist, and an educator for over 3 decades. I read and, I write. With this weekly newsletter, I share what I read, learn, and, experience. At the same time, I engage with students, parents, and teams of teachers across K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and ed-tech organizations.
