Offender Led Workshops Work and It's That Simple

Communications do encounter boundaries on occasions and this is something we probably all accept as true. It does make sense, and it's logical that as we try to get information from one place [person] to another, things may well get in the way and this will slow down or stop that information exchange. So when we are aiming to communicate with [get information to] young people, it makes perfect sense to me and almost anyone that has worked with young people at risk of offending or ex-offenders, that the boundaries typically encountered will be overcome much more easily or even, in many cases, completely avoided, if the people giving that information are in a position to be listened to in the first place.

If a speaker, teacher or trainer is held by their class in a position of authority or is deemed knowledgeable on the subject they are delivering on, they will be listened to and heard more fully. 

Schools of the Future: Education, Evolution and What You Really Want For Your Children

Evolution of Education

We are constantly evolving both as individuals and as a species. Change is an intrinsic to evolution. The two just go hand in hand. The current educational model has served us in many ways.

So when we share that we would like to create an alternative educational model this often triggers the response 'Well, what is wrong with the current one?' That question itself is very revealing.

Educational Change

Humans change usually for one of two reasons. The first is that what exists is no longer satisfactory so we move away from it. In the second instance, change occurs because the vision of something greater pulls us into action.

Push Learning: This is one of the popular approaches, when it comes to training the sales team. In this process the learning content and information is "pushed" to the learners, and they have little choice in terms of the content they receive. 

How Can You Use QR Codes for Teaching and Learning?

Before I go on to discuss the methods of using QR codes in the educational sector, let's quickly review what a QR code is in the first place. QR codes or Quick Response codes include a two-dimensional space to store texts or website URLs, accessing which certain information is generated. Previously, only businesses used such codes in their product labels, billboards, etc. for advertising or tracking purpose. But nowadays, we see a number of educational institutions using such codes for a variety of reason.

Many teachers/instructors are using codes in slide presentations to direct students to websites where the slide is actually given or where extra information can be found. In England, Andy Ramsden of Bath University tried to find ways to use QR codes in an academic environment.

Education and Training: Can They Go Hand in Hand?
