Hello Sj, thank you for your introduction and welcome to the Online Schoolbook “GOLD DUST. [[User:Papillon|Papillon]] 17:16, 14 December 2008 (UTC)


Hello,
Hello,



Revision as of 20:46, 1 March 2009

Hello,

I’m the author of the “Papillon” educational concept and creator of the online schoolbook "GOLD DUST".Based on the idea of writing a childrens book a study project developed. Thirst for knowledge and interest in topics taken from literature, history, philosophy, art and religion as well as openness for science, environmental topics and new media have influenced the development of the Online Schoolbook GOLD DUST.

In this project stuck 9 years development work. It includes:

Fantasy Story „GOLD DUST” [1]

Online Schoolbook „GOLD DUST” [2]

"Papillon" [“Butterfly”] educational concept - Project study [3]

Testing the model project successfull in practice [4] at the Ellen-Key Grammar School in Berlin [5]

Survey from the Berlin Technical University with regard [6]

Online Platform – Learning in the 21st century [7]

Since 2007 Papillon participates in the educational project “One Laptop per Child". --Papillon 22:03, 14 January 2009 (UTC)


My native language is German. Please feel free to correct my English and give me your feedback and comments. I’m happy to answer your questions.

Now I want to introduce "Papillon" and present what is possible with this emotional and simply concept. On this level the potential of "Papillon" is not yet exhausted, only a first description.


Here are some hints and thoughts, to explore the Online Schoolbook GOLD DUST.

By using the Papillon concept learners get a mix from structur (text of the virtual world) and freedom (Internet). All keywords and educational links are variable and suggestions.

The learning clicks represent a unique and innovative form of conveying knowledge. They are the result of an intensive combined achievement. Text and learning clicks are so tightly interwoven so that both elements can develop their effect as just one unit. However, the goal is not to link the text in general but rather how the text is linked. That is what is special about it. Links without the text don't work in such great manner we have learned in our praxis tests.


Chapter 2: The Gold Hat Officials

Keyword Nubia:

Nubia was always important for Egypt, because from Nubia came the gold.

There is more behind the links than people expect, meaning that the effect of the Internet to amaze and astound can be used for learning success. The learner is surprised that even the most comical ideas in real life can find an equivalent in reality.

For example: Nubia is not only a fantastic name, Nubia was an ancient high culture

Keyword: the official for good thoughts, Theme: how one comes to good thoughts... ...if you take part, when you are interested in science, if you ask why, when you play, when you help, if you are curious in new media, when you hear music, when you leran languages and so on...

Keyword: time, topic: The Theory of Relativity

The student can view the content and continue to access it until he has completely understood the topic. This method of conveying knowledge is not feasible in regular instruction and has a decisive advantage: Gifted students no longer have to be bored because they understood the material long ago and those who are less gifted no longer have a reason to interrupt the class because they are not following the material. Everyone can process the instructional materials according to his or her own aptitude. Strong and weak students will be promoted together.

Keyword: towers: The boundries of architecture are new defined.


Chapter 3: The Twinkling Lantern

Keyword: place in life ... You've got to find what you love, that's the question of your life.--Papillon 19:28, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Examples: Links from the fairytale refer to the selection of a career, on how to get good ideas. Those in later semesters can be guided from fairytale to the theory of relativity, evolution, nanotechnology and ethics. Complex content on web pages is shown in a simple and easy-to-follow manner in a film or in an interaction.--Papillon 18:14, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Chapter 4: A fateful Birthday

Keyword: baroque

Baroque is also known as the era of stage and finds his glorious climax at the court of Louis XIV. Elements of staging we find in the Media-Society of the 21st Century, for example election campaign, product advertising, Harry Potter as a brand, etc. Why not education to stage? --Papillon 19:06, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


Chapter 8: Lilies or Airhead

Lilies - a symbol for stability (roots), wind - a symbol for independence --Papillon 12:22, 8 January 2009 (UTC)


Chapter 9: In the Valley of Tears

Keyword: Justitia

What does it mean to teach for social justice? [8]

Keyword: Fortitudo

Teaching courage to kids [9]

"It may surprise you to know that children's books often raise deep philosophical issues and that children love to think about them. This website contains all the materials that you need to lead philosophy discussions with your students.” [10]

Top Sites in Philosophy for Children [11]

--Papillon 21:45, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Fairytales convey a simple basic thought: A good character makes you beautiful. It is exactly the right format to spin a yarn about the great questions of life. Let you inspire by the magical world of the GOLD DUST story. --Papillon 10:40, 9 January 2009 (UTC)


Chapter 10: Energy Spheres

Keyword: Cats

Cats are Good For Kids [12]

Topic: Time which we spend together

Majority of parents say children want more family time with more play time high on the wish list [13]

The Importance of Family Time [14] --Papillon 15:09, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Keyword: Gold dust

Gold dust is a symbol for our dreams, wishes, hopes.

What are the children's wishes for themselves, their families and friends, for their country, the world and the future? (no wars, feed the hungry, save the animals, stop global warming... be kind to each other)

What is really important for each of us and as valuable as gold? For example: every child needs a family and wants to be loved --Papillon 21:29, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

In general I give you suggestions of educational links for beginner and advanced learner (younger and older students).--Papillon 22:49, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


Why very distantly related links?

Students learn cross-linked thinking to see our world in a global context.

If someone is not interested in a topic, he will find it difficult to learn. Papillon therefore arouses curiosity in interesting cross-curricular themes and opens the door to the internet. Behind every door learners can find a surprise, against one's expectations.

Neuroscientists are of the opinion that positive emotions support the learning process. An information may be better absorbed, noticed and be reproduced. --Papillon 20:55, 4 February 2009 (UTC)


Chapter 14: The Three Days of Miracles

Keyword:enchanting melody

Music provides children with a means of self-expression and gives them a glimpse of other cultures. [15]

Keyword: angels

Religion is one of the most emotional and powerful topics. We gave students the suggestion to present each other their religion. We also encouraged them, together to celebrate religious events [16]and visit religious monuments: synagogue, church, mosque or temple. So students learn more about their neighbours religions, their similarities and to accept differences. They also have a better overview of the religions. With the understanding of other religions they are able to communicate better. Children must be given the opportunity to view a certain aspect from different perspectives. So they can see one aspect with different eyes and improve respect and tolerance.--Papillon 13:36, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
