21st Century Learning and Teaching

Avec les nouveaux modèles d’enseignement, tous les équilibres, tous les codes sont remis en cause. Au sens strict du terme, il n’y a plus d’enseignant, pas de cours, pas de programme, rien que des cas concrets à résoudre en trouvant soi-même la solution ou en s’associant à d’autres élèves. Cette pédagogie met l’accent sur le comportement, les capacités à travailler à plusieurs et à apprendre très vite en autonomie.

Pour Romain Martin, vice-recteur pour les affaires académiques de l’Université du Luxembourg, «la principale erreur consiste à se focaliser sur les technologies elles-mêmes. Il ne faut pas simplement regarder l’outil, mais comment ces outils sont utilisés.» Une désacralisation des technologies pourtant au cœur des enjeux, au profit d’une démarche pédagogique nouvelle. La tendance est ainsi à l’«adaptive learning».

[Gust MEES] pratiquant ceci déjà depuis 2002 et enfin reconnu...

image2cpp is a simple tool to change images into byte arrays to use with (monochrome) displays suchs as OLEDs, like those from Adafruit or Sparkfun.

While searching for a way to generate these arrays, I mostly found links to a piece of Windows software. Both the flakey results and the hassle of having to boot a virtual machine just to convert an image lead to me writing this pure html + javascript solution.

Alternatively you can also enter a byte array as input to turn it back into an image. This might be useful for debugging, or when you want to write the byte array yourself. I don't know.

Running the tool

You don't need any special dependencies / internet connection; all the necessary parts sit in a single .html file. So just open this index.html page in a (recent) browser to run the tool.

Or you can use the online version at:

De gros titres, tels que "Algorithmes - les vrais maîtres du monde ?" ou "Les algorithmes influencent-ils notre quotidien ?", sont à la une des journaux, notamment dans le contexte du Big Data. Dans ce dossier, nous expliquerons ce que sont les algorithmes, comment ils fonctionnent et à quoi ils servent. Nous aborderons également les aspects éthiques.

Un algorithme est une instruction ou une règle logique et explicite sur la manière dont un problème est à résoudre, et se compose de différentes étapes exécutées l'une après l'autre ou simultanément. Pour la majorité des algorithmes, une entrée donnée conduit toujours à la même sortie. Dans la plupart des cas, les algorithmes s'appliquent sous forme de logiciels informatiques, mais ils peuvent également être formulés en langage humain. L'exemple le plus illustre d'un algorithme de notre quotidien est une recette de cuisine.

D'où vient le nom ?

Le terme algorithme est dérivé du nom du mathématicien et géographe korasmien Muhammad Ibn Musa al-Khuwarizmi, originaire de la région de l'Iran d'aujourd'hui, qui a passé la majeure partie de sa vie à Bagdad. En 825, il écrit un manuel sur les chiffres indiens et y explique également le fonctionnement des algorithmes. Le livre sur les chiffres, que nous connaissons aujourd'hui sous le nom de "chiffres arabes", a été traduit en latin au 12e siècle. La dernière partie de son nom (al-Khuwarizmi) a été traduite par "Algorismi". Les premiers mots étaient "Dixit Algorismi" (Algorismi a dit), d'où s'est finalement dérivé le terme algorithme.

Manche sind genervt von ihnen, andere können gar nicht genug bekommen – Tests auf Facebook, die das eigene Profil analysieren und dabei Daten sammeln.

Wie soll ich mit solchen Tests umgehen? BEE SECURE rät:

Unzureichende Datenschutzerklärungen, intransparente Informationen und zweifelhafte Geschäftsmodelle bestimmen die „Szene“ dieser Tests. Da diese Tests so gut wie keinen Mehrwert haben, sondern vermutlich sowieso nach dem Zufallsprinzip arbeiten, empfiehlt BEE SECURE, sie zu meiden. Die Risiken, dass die eigenen Daten verkauft oder gar in Fake-Profilen verwendet werden, sind größer als der Nutzen, den diese „lustigen“ Tests bieten.

Anfang November werden in Luxemburg an Allerseelen Gräber gesegnet – und wir denken allgemein an unsere Verstorbenen und an den Tod. Aber was passiert eigentlich mit unsere Daten und Accounts, wenn wir sterben?

Niemand wird gerne an die eigene Sterblichkeit erinnert. Und auch wenn sich Ende Oktober zu Halloween allerlei Untote wie Vampire, Zombies, usw. in den Medien tummeln – wir werden alle einmal sterben müssen. Viele Menschen sorgen für ihre physischen Besitztümer vor: Sie schreiben ein Testament und bestimmen, wer welche Objekte erben soll. Manche organisieren sogar ihre eigene Bestattung. Über das eigene digitale Erbe machen sich jedoch nur wenig Menschen Gedanken. Was passiert nach meinem Tod mit meinen digitalen Fotos, Texten und Videos? Wer benachrichtigt die Follower meiner social media-Accounts, dass ich gestorben bin? Was wird aus meinen E-Mails?

Während rechtlich klar geregelt ist, wer ihre Besitztümer erhält, wenn Sie kein Testament verfasst haben, ist der digitale Nachlass eine Grauzone. So ist zum Beispiel nicht klar, ob ein Facebook-Account vererbt werden kann oder ob er so persönlich ist, dass er nach dem Tod vom Betreiber gelöscht oder deaktiviert werden muss. Die beste Alternative ist also, selbst vorzusorgen.

Makerspaces, app pour les langues ou cours de coding font désormais partie de l’arsenal pédagogique. Laboratoire d’idées adossé au ministère, le Script est une des têtes pensantes de ces chantiers. Doté de missions croissantes, il entame une réorganisation en septembre et étoffe ses équipes.

Sous le slogan «Digital4Education», l’Éducation nationale luxembourgeoise a entrepris de concentrer son approche en matière de nouvelles technologies. Divisée en cinq pôles «digitaux» (Peer, Citizen, Entrepreneur, Worker et Learner), la stratégie publique veut aider ses jeunes ressortissants à se familiariser avec l’outil informatique à toutes les étapes de leur vie.

On y trouve de la sensibilisation à la cybersécurité, des makerspaces où les lycéens sont libres d’expérimenter avec des imprimantes 3D, un accès gratuit à la suite MS Office pour les professeurs,ou encore des salles de cours digitales. Derrière de nombreux concepts d’apprentissage se trouve bien souvent le Script, ou Service de coordination de la recherche et de l’innovation pédagogique et technologique, adossé au ministère de l’Éducation. «Nous devons et nous souhaitons être à l’avant-poste de la révolution numérique», introduit Luc Weis, directeur du Script depuis septembre 2015, lui-même ancien enseignant. «L’éducation ne fonctionne pas en vase clos. Si elle ne peut pas prendre tous les virages technologiques, elle doit refléter la société qui l’entoure.»

The current political momentum around skills is certainly welcomed by those whom, as European Schoolnet, strongly believe in the importance of skills and education to thrive in society.

European Schoolnet is a Brussels-based network of 30 European Ministries of Education. We aim to bring innovation in teaching and learning. We therefore welcome the launch of the New Skills Agenda by the European Commission and support the priorities that are set within the agenda, in particular the emphasis on the need to develop digital skills.

From digital skills to the safe and responsible use of online technology, through the wide variety of ICT in education projects we are involved in, it is clear to us how much digital skills are needed for citizens to actively participate in today's digital society, and how central they are in shaping the personal and professional future of a connected generation. Our leading role in a number of European initiatives in the area of STEM and of Key Competences for lifelong learning has further strengthened our belief that investing in the development and recognition of a wide variety of skills is beneficial to learners’ personal development, active citizenship, social inclusion, and employment.

European Schoolnet looks forward to supporting the New Skills Agenda for Europe in the four major areas outlined below. We believe that our network of stakeholders (Ministries of Education, schools, teachers, researchers, and industry partners) together with our targeted actions, tools, platforms, and services are able to contribute to bring about change.

• Foster the development and assessment of key competences
• Develop learners’ digital skills in school
• Enhance young people’s employability
• Develop students’ media literacy and critical thinking for digital citizenship

The Introducing Project-Based Learning in your Classroom course introduces you to the concept of project-based learning (PBL) and helps you to implement this pedagogical approach in your classroom by providing concrete examples, ideas and tools that can inspire and support you and your students to embark on a PBL learning journey.

We will be exploring three key challenges related to the implementation of PBL: how to get students to collaborate effectively, how to facilitate student-driven activities, and finally how to assess PBL in your classroom.

The course offers an introduction to these topics and provides you with a framework to engage with fellow teachers and other education stakeholders by sharing resources, experiences, ideas, etc. The goal of the course is to develop into a professional learning community discussing PBL even after the course has finished.

Recently I bought myself the latest model of 3D-printers from Formlabs, the Form2.

The Form 2 delivers high-resolution prints in  Industrial 3D printing quality and it is very, very expensive. (I had been waiting (and saving money) for 3 years until I made the financial plunge to get such a machine)

But it has the huge advantage that dosen’t require a lot of tweaking and experimenting to run, you just take it out of the box, you install it and it runs !! It comes with the right software, the materials you need to use are in sich a packaging (1 Liter resin cartridges !) that you can concentrate on the objet you’re printing and not on the maintenance of the machine. The system recognises the resin type, configures settings, and allows you to keep track of resin supplies.

The Form 2 is a SLA printer where SLA stand for Stereolithography. SLA is an additive manufacturing – commonly referred to as 3D printing – technology that converts liquid materials into solid parts, layer by layer, by selectively curing them using a light source in a process called photopolymerization. SLA is widely used to create models, prototypes, patterns, and production parts for a range of industries from engineering and product design to manufacturing, dentistry, jewelry, model making, and education.

Theatre, a vector of choice?

Theatre, is a text, a writing, an idea, a union of words, expressions, pulled from a sheet of paper, embodied in reality. Emotions expressed and interactions that are played between the protagonists of a moment. The text, first dissected to reveal all its meaning and its implications, must be stored or memorized prior to be interpreted. Played: the secret is finally exposed, play, like a child, think and believe it is true and keep that memory implanted. Learning through theatre is a wonderful method in the literal sense of the word: Students do not feel the constraints of learning and do not suffer from slow and often tedious methods. It is active.

Their bodies start to move in accordance with their senses, their minds. They act. Thus, plunging themselves into a procedure without even wondering if they have the basic knowledge to get there.

The theatre opens up a whole new universe for language teaching by making it accessible to all, any category of age, from all classes, educated or less educated.

[Gust MEES] I created a piece of theatre to learn about Cyber Security (in French):
