AndriusKulikauskas October 12, 2009 16:21 CET I've been reorienting myself, what is important to me. I'm interested in self-learning and creating learning materials for that. I'm also excited about video and other creative arts for creating such materials. But I've started wondering, even doubting, what is worth learning? especially, what is worth encouraging others to learn? I know mathematics very well and can teach it in terms of deep ideas. But should people be learning mathematics? It seems peripheral. What is central? I decided that ethics is what I'd most like to encourage us to be learning, the ethics of the WorkNets culture that I want to develop with others. I know a lot about this culture and I would find it useful to share that so that it might thrive and people might participate actively and include others. So I want to create a set of lessons (and questions and learning materials) to encourage that (much as I planned for a Handbook of Investigation). With that in mind, it becomes interesting for me to create Mathematics learning materials as well (ClassicMathProblems) because I can model my Ethics lessons accordingly. Also, there is a lot of Ethics hidden in Math, even in the Mosaic law, where there are concepts of proportionality, of division, and all manner of looking at a situation.
AndriusKulikauskas June 12, 2010 18:23 CET I'm working as a tutor at IvyLeagueTutoring. I'm teaching mathematics in terms of Datasheet Activities (see Quantities) and the ethics of systems. I'm teaching reading and writing in terms of the 12 Questions and Empathy.
When I was the senior teaching assistant at UCSD, I made a list of seven ways of learning (including "osmosis"). I wonder if I'll ever find that list... They were organized by a binary system, I think from conscious to unconscious.
