The document discusses how storytelling can enhance learning experiences. It provides examples from ancient Indian texts of kings using stories to teach reluctant princes. Stories help with sense-making, connecting new knowledge to lived experiences. They develop "landscapes of action" and "consciousness" by engaging the audience with characters' minds and deeper meanings. Well-structured stories with emotional conflicts and resolutions can inspire learning and transformation by taking the audience from familiar to unfamiliar. Elements like structure, conflict, and resolution move a story forward and make information memorable. Stories allow learners to engage with new perspectives and possibilities in a meaningful way.

This document discusses how to create a global classroom community. It defines globalization as the interconnectedness between people, ideas, economies, environments, communications, politics, and societies across the world. An education with a global perspective develops knowledge, skills, and attitudes to live effectively in a diverse and interdependent world with limited resources. It emphasizes understanding different cultures and seeing how local issues connect to global ones. Creating a global classroom involves using technology and international materials, integrating perspectives from other cultures, and assessing students in varied ways like problem-solving real world issues. Teachers must incorporate a global view throughout the curriculum, not just social studies, to prepare students for interacting in a global society.

Voice morphing is a technique that modifies a source speaker's speech to sound like a target speaker. It does this by changing the pitch from the source speaker, like a male voice, to the target speaker, like a female voice. This is done by interpolating the linear predictive coding coefficients of the source and target signals. The pitch of the morphed signal can be positioned between the source and target by varying a constant value between 0 and 1. Applications include changing voices for security or entertainment purposes, but limitations include difficulties with voice detection and requiring extensive sound libraries.

Narrative theory provides frameworks for understanding how stories are structured and convey meaning. According to Aristotle, successful narratives involve actions that change characters' lives and contain resolution of that change. More recently, theorists like Todorov, Barthes, and Propp analyzed common narrative elements. Todorov proposed narratives follow an equilibrium-disruption-new equilibrium structure. Barthes identified codes like action/enigma that integrate viewers. Propp noted recurring character types like heroes, villains, and helpers. Applying these theories allows deeper analysis of narrative techniques in any media text.
1. Aristotle analyzed tragedy and proposed its ideal form, which influenced later playwrights. He defined tragedy as imitating a serious action that arouses pity and fear and accomplishes catharsis of these emotions.
2. According to Aristotle, the six main elements of tragedy are plot, character, thought, diction, melody, and spectacle. The most important elements are plot and character. The plot should be a unified action that involves reversal of fortune and discovery.
3. Aristotle stated that the tragic hero should not be entirely good or bad, but have a flaw that leads to their downfall from happiness to misery. This arouses pity and fear in the audience.

The document discusses conducting research to better understand the dynamics that occur in the ring and isthmus geometries, which are hypothesized anatomical substrates for some types of cardiac tachycardias. Simulation results found that in an annulus geometry, excitation patterns consisted of one or more waves traveling in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

The document discusses the negative portrayal of African American males in media. A class activity had students list African American males they see on TV, but they struggled to name more than a few. The lists were all similar, mainly consisting of sports stars and rappers depicted as obscenity-spewing hustlers focused on sex, drugs and money. This narrow portrayal does a disservice to racial equality hopes by failing to show African American males in thoughtful, artistic or intelligent roles. The one-dimensional stereotypes seen in media contrast with the author's own experiences.
Vladimir Propp developed a character theory identifying 7 broad character types that commonly appear in stories, including the hero, villain, donor, dispatcher, false hero, helper, and princess or prize. Propp's theory analyzes the X-Men characters into these types, with the hero being the central character whose actions restore order. Tzvetan Todorov's theory views stories as progressing through equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, and new equilibrium states. Roland Barthes and enigma codes use questions to create narrative suspense. William Gibson notes that audiences buy into narratives and characters rather than just products. Binary oppositions reveal narrative structures through paired concepts like good vs evil. Ideologies underpin representations

It takes place after a nuclear war in a small community that has regressed and become intolerant of any physical or mental differences. The protagonist David can communicate telepathically and discovers others with similar abilities. As the story progresses, David and his friends' powers are at risk of being discovered by the community. They eventually escape to a more tolerant society called Sealand. The document analyzes themes of prejudice, conformity, and individualism through discussion questions about each chapter.
This document discusses myths and their purpose and nature. It explains that myths were not meant as falsehoods, but rather as ways for ancient cultures to explain phenomena they did not understand. Myths are oral traditions that can have multiple versions and express the values and beliefs of the culture. The document also summarizes some common themes in myths such as creation stories, heroes/tricksters, and the afterlife. It provides examples of myths like the creation of the Greek gods and titans to illustrate its points about the nature and analysis of myths.

The document discusses phase changes in states of matter and human society. It notes that a first-time observer cannot predict what will happen during a phase change, like water turning to steam at 100°C. Three major phase changes in human society were the advent of language, writing, and the printing press, which allowed for new ways of communicating ideas. Today, advances like the internet and artificial intelligence are causing another phase change that will disrupt society, though its full effects cannot be predicted.
1) The document discusses how the needs of the job market and economy have changed over time, from an agricultural focus on basic literacy to an industrial need for discipline and technical skills to today's need for lifelong learning and adaptability.
2) It provides examples of how jobs like bank tellers and farm laborers have become automated, eliminating certain roles, and explains how even skilled university graduates need to continuously learn to stay relevant.
3) The key message is that self-directed lifelong learning has become imperative in the 21st century job market to maintain employability as jobs and skills requirements are constantly evolving due to automation and technological changes.
Skills for Success and Well-being in the 21st CenturyAtul Pant
A six minutes video animation from Timeless Lifeskills website explaining the reasons why a new set of life skills is required for success and well-being in the 21 century and what these skills include - http://timelesslifeskills.co.uk
In the era of ubiquitous computerisation and cheap automation what skills and competencies will students need to really shine? What dispositions will lead to success? In a guided introspection workshop, which I conducted for students of Vasant Valley school and Ramjas school, R.K. Puram (both based in New Delhi), I looked at these issues.
How Homo fabers and Homo Ludens Learn - Gamifying LearningAtul Pant
How Homo fabers (those who love to create) and Homo ludens (those who love to play) learn. This presentation made in Oct 2012 at Vasant Valley school in New Delhi, to educators from the Learn Today group, describes how elements can be borrowed from games and how games can be used in the classroom to enrich the learning experience.
From blogs to books. Today, an academic or a researcher is no longer at the mercy of a publisher to get his or her work published. This presentation, which I made at Allahabad University in Oct 2012, describes various avenues available today for self-publishing books, ebooks, interactive books and multimedia courses.
Building a Hybrid Learning Environment - Augmenting the Classroom with Conver...Atul Pant
How can teachers create a hybrid learning environment to augment their classroom teaching with online conversation and collaboration. This presentation, which I made at Allahabad University in Oct 2012, looks at the reasons why a hybrid approach is much needed and gives an overview of mostly free tools that can be used to create such a learning experience.
Knowledge Sommelier 101 - The Art of Curation in EducationAtul Pant
The growing abundance of quality learning resources available on the internet, in multiple formats to suit needs of different learners, implies that teachers need to become curators of content that they can use to enrich their teaching. This presentation, which I made at Allahabad University in India in Oct 2012, gives an overview of Art of Curation for teaching.
This document discusses the importance of learning financial literacy concepts like distinguishing between assets and liabilities, understanding active and passive income, and leveraging the power of compounding returns, especially when starting young. It emphasizes delaying gratification by regularly investing in assets that generate long-term passive income, rather than spending on liabilities, in order to achieve financial independence and the ability to retire early. Specific asset classes, risk management, and financial planning are some of the other topics covered.
What Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science say about Meditation Atul Pant
Meditation has been shown through research to positively impact brain functioning and emotional states. Neuroscientist Richard Davidson's research found that long-term meditators showed increased activity in areas of the brain associated with positive emotions. Short-term meditators who completed just 2 weeks of compassion meditation training also showed brain changes, behaving more altruistically and with reduced threat response. Various forms of meditation aim to cultivate focus, awareness, compassion, or other mental states and can be practiced by those new to meditation. Ancient texts describe meditation as a means of introspection and integrating conscious and subconscious mind.
This document discusses what ancient wisdom and modern science say about happiness and well-being. It explores how understanding ancient wisdom from sources like Buddha and Aristotle, as well as modern positive psychology research, can help people increase happiness and well-being despite increases in material comforts. Specifically, it discusses how ancient wisdom views happiness as a state of mind influenced by perception rather than external factors, and how positive psychology research looks at concepts like learned helplessness, learned optimism, character strengths, and defining well-being using the PERMA model of positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning and accomplishment.
The document discusses the emergence of online learning as the second strand of education alongside formal education. It argues that online learning enables a connection-centric model where learners are connected to mentors, content, and conversations. The role of parents is shifting to that of learner facilitators who understand learners' needs, curate appropriate online content, and help learners make sense of fragmented online information. With the rise of Web 2.0 technologies, the web is becoming the classroom where learners can learn from many knowledgeable others. When guided well, online learning can make learners more autonomous and self-directed.
Learning Leadership in Web-based EducationAtul Pant
A learning leader in the second strand of education must help learners in several key ways:
1. Help learners imagine what is possible through stories that inspire transformation.
2. Facilitate learning, knowledge acquisition, understanding, and performance mastery. This includes developing learning skills, studying effectively, thinking critically, and achieving flow.
3. Help learners understand and resolve internal conflicts like fear, cynicism, and inertia that block learning. Provide support, motivation, and opportunities to connect learning with personal needs.
4. Engage learners in the 3Cs of web-based learning: curating high-quality content, facilitating generative conversations, and building a collaborative community.
The document discusses a framework for web-based learning that draws from various learning theories and positions the teacher as a learner facilitator, the web as the classroom, and the learner as autonomous. It also outlines the roles of the learner facilitator in understanding learners, curating content, bringing coherence, and co-exploring with learners based on cognitive, social, and constructivist learning theories. The framework aims to integrate formal education with informal, connection-centric web-based learning.

This presentation provides an overview of the new learning theory for the digital age - 'connectivism' and looks at why it is important for the 21st century.
The document advocates pursuing learning for its own sake rather than just to earn a living. It encourages becoming a lifelong learner by yearning to learn, which will allow one to flourish in the 21st century by developing relevant skills through learning conversations on social media.
From ‘I Learn’ to ‘We Learn’ – Social Media for Informal LearningAtul Pant
Social Media in Education - social media can act as a 'GLUE' that binds learners and fosters learning conversations that add coherence to otherwise fragmented knowledge on the web. Social Media can also act as a 'FILTER' to sift and find relevant information online.
Lonely at the Tail-end of the Long Tail - Can Social Media Spice Up My eLearn...Atul Pant
If you are an independent educator, author or a small publisher how can you use social media as an 'AMPLIFIER' to promote your initiative and how can you use social media as a 'GLUE' to foster learning conversations that help your learners deepen their understanding.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

4. The three princes were, what we would today call ’reluctant learners’
Must study.. . blah, blah, your
future ... blah, blah, blah
What’s the point...
Here we go again
I am bored!
5. Minister Sumati advised the king that instead of using conventional ways of teaching,
they should find ways to wake the intelligence of the princes... and for this he
suggested requesting the great teacher, Pandit Vishnu Sharma to tutor the princes.
6. Since verbal sciences have no final end,
Since life is short, and obstacles impend,
Let central facts be picked and firmly fixed,
As swans extract the milk with water mixed.
7. Holy Sir, as a favour to me you must make my three
princes masters of the art of practical life. In return, I
will bestow upon you a hundred land-grants.
8. O King, listen. I am not a man to sell learning.
So keep your land-grants. But if I do not, in
six month’s time, make the boys acquainted
with the art of intelligent living, I will give up
my own name.
9. Vishnu Sharma knew that he could never instruct the princes
through conventional means. He employed a less orthodox way...
10. He weaved a succession of animal fables to help the princes understand the
’wise conduct of life’. The collection of 5 discourses is called ’PANCHTANTRA’
- meaning the five (pancha), treatises (tantra).
11. Panchtantra stories are still loved by kids in India and
the fables have been translated into many languages
13. According to Marsha Rossiter and Carolyn Clark
Stories help in sense-making
Learners connect new knowledge with lived experience and
weave it into existing narratives of meaning
Bruner (1986) explains that a story develops the ‘landscape of
action’ and the ‘landscape of consciousness’ (human intention).
As audience we engage with both levels and enter into the
minds of the characters and into the deeper meaning of the
story.
14. Stories can be instruments of information and
transformation (Jackson 1995), taking the audience from
the familiar to the unfamiliar.
When one identifies with the character who has changed
one can envision and embrace the possibility of change in
oneself (Clark 2001).
Stories make information rememberable because they
involve us in the actions and intentions of the
characters and demand active meaning making.
Stories enable us to engage with new knowledge, broader
perspective and expanded possibilities.
15. Harvard psychologist, Lawrence Kohlberg, who proposed a stage theory of moral
thinking, used stories like this one, to test moral reasoning:
A woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was
just one drug that might save her.
16. PHARMACY
Only one pharmacist had that drug and he was charging ten times the
normal price.
The sick woman’s husband, Heinz, could arrange just half the amount.
17. PHARMACY
He pleaded and argued with the pharmacist that his wife was dying and so
could the pharmacist please lower the price or allow Heinz to pay later.
But the pharmacist refused.
19. Should Heinz have stolen the drug?
Should he be punished?
This story is very effective for further discussions on
thinking and moral reasoning

explains the impact of emotions on learning and
performance...

49. 23 out of 25 students immediately gave the same answer that the earth
is closer to the sun in the summer than it is in the winter
due to the elliptical orbit of the earth.

3. Resolution
Persuasion - Ethos, Pathos, Logos
The Rider, the Elephant, the Path
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
107. In their book ‘Switch - how to change things when
change is hard’ authors Chip and Dan Heath take a deeper
look at inner conflicts...
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
108. They look at the inner conflict as a dilemma bet ween ‘HEART
and MIND’ and use the analogy given by psychologist,
Jonathan Haidt...
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
109. Your Mind or rational side is
THE RIDER
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
110. Your Heart or emotional side is
THE ELEPHANT
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
111. THE RIDER (mind or rationality)
(+)
- is a visionary (thinks long-term)
- good at planning and direction
- accepts delayed gratification
(-)
- Over analyzes (analysis-paralysis)
- Limited strength (self-supervision is exhausting)
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
112. THE ELEPHANT (heart or emotions)
(+)
- can provide energy and enthusiasm
- responds well to positive emotions
- love, compassion, empathy, loyalty
(-)
- lazy and unpredictable
- desires instant gratification
- negative emotions (loss of energy or focus)
Structure > Conflict > Resolution

Changing habits is tiring (self-control is exhausting)
Prefer to maintain status quo
Sees only problems on the path of change
Too many choices (analysis paralysis)

Why change? No emotional connect with change
The challenge is too big
I don’t have the ability (lack of self-efficacy)
How should I go about it - what steps?
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
115. To Resolve the Inner Conflict,
and bring about change (from ’what is’
to ’what is possible’), you need to appeal
to both the rider and the elephant
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
116. What role can Stories play in ‘Directing the Rider’ and ‘Motivating
the Elephant’ ?
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
117. Direct the Rider
Role of Stories
Stories that demonstrate change is possible
Focus on solutions (and not the problems)
i.e. don’t focus on what is broken and how to fix it
instead focus on what is working and how to do more of it
Stories that explain the critical steps
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
118. Let’s look at an example...
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
119. Once upon a time there was a
boy who was heart-broken
because he got ‘F’ grade in
Math and Science.
He thought to himself he was
no good at studies...
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
120. The story should go on to explain how he changed his mindset...
Instead of looking at the bad
grades he considered his ’A’
grade in English
How did I get an ’A’ in English?
Good study habits?
Hard work?
Multiple performance
opportunities (writing, debating)?
Deep interest and confidence?
He then applied the same
learning approach to other
subjects
He got a ’C’ in Math and
Science and a ’B’ in History!
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
121. Motivate the Elephant
Role of Stories
Stories that provide an emotional connect
That inspire hope
That help achieve some ’quick wins’
That ’grow the person’ - help them gain self-efficacy
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
122. Let’s look at some examples...
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
123. Stories inspired by Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory
Tele-novellas and Radio-dramas narrating stories of model
behaviour have been very successful in bringing about social
change like,
- radio drama, ’Taru’, in India, about female
reproductive health
- radio drama, "Twende na Wakati," or "Let's Go with
the Times," in parts of Tanzania, about HIV and AIDS
- "Ven Conmigo," or "Come with Me," in Mexico, on adult
literacy
Structure > Conflict > Resolution
125. Principles on which these stories are based (according to Bandura)
Contrasting Role Models - positive, transitional and
negative
Characters demonstrate how to manage set-backs or enlist
support
Personal Relevance - from audience perspective
Aspirational Linkage (i.e. based on audience’s aspirations)
Vicarious Motivators
Environmental Support - tell the audience what support is
available for making the change and where to look for it

129. Do you remember stories that made history come alive for you, or
biographies that got you back on your feet when you were down?
We can all learn from ‘hearing’ stories - parables, moral tales, stories
of adventure...
We can also learn by ‘telling’ stories - sharing our own ‘hard knocks of
life’ tales, that helps us make sense of our life situation (blogging for
catharsis!)
And, best of all, stories can make the learning experience a lot of fun
