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.

  1. I think you need patience instead of "patient" but I get what you mean :-)

    Good examples, keep up the good work.

    Don't forget to include some links weekly to demonstrate your ability to reflect on what you have learnt in the context of what else is happening in the industry. Some images and youtube links will spice up the blog and allow the reader to see further exploration of the exhibition topic through some basic web referencing.

    Well done.
