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


Hello,

I’am the author of the “Papillon” educational concept and the Online Schoolbook "GOLD DUST". 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.

Here are some hints and thoughts, to experience 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.


Chapter 2: The Gold Hat Officials

Keyword Nubia:

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

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.


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)


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 9: In the Valley of Tears

Keyword: Justitia

What does it mean to teach for social justice? [1]

Keyword: Fortitudo

Teaching courage to kids [2]

“Have you ever thought of using children's literature to teach philosophy to elementary school children? 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.” [3]
