Week 5 "KNOWLEDGE"

Describe the relationship between teaching and learning according to Maeda?

     Teaching and learning are vice versa. More you learn better you teach.

     Enthusiasm between teacher and learner should be in equal level.

Describe the importance of the use of metaphors in learning, why would you

use them, how, give an example?

    Giving example describes the correct form of metaphors in learning.

    “Right Tightly,lefty loosy” creates the image in brain which help to

     use screwdriver in correct way. Clock wise and anti clockwise

     motion also replicate same version.

BRAIN - what does the acronym stand for – why is it important?

    Basics are beginning

    Repeat yourself often

    Avoid creating desperation

    Inspire with examples

    Never forget to repeat yourself

    It is important because until and unless we do not follow these

    elements the knowledge will not be transmitted properly.

Describe a situation where you have been required to teach someone a skill.

     Emphasizing in basic will help to transform or transfer skill to someone.

     Professionally maneuvering camera or editing need lots of practice as

     well as frequent uses and to teach someone such skill not only need time but

     also need patience. Everyone is not a prompt learner so keeping in mind the

    “BRAIN”element will help achieve target. For example, to plug in microphone

     in camera seems much simple but complex in getting the correct level. One

     must keep the channel volume off and battery power off before plugging the

     XLR whereas after turning on camera the next step is to turn on microphone

     and control volume level.If did not follow the proper instruction technical fault

    will occur damaging both camera and microphone.

How could you apply the BRAIN principle to it?

     Clarifying the concept and describing the procedure until satisfaction level

     for the beginner by the professional will be the example of BRAIN principle

     application.
