• TEDx — I’ve been fascinated by TED and TEDx for years,...
  I’ve been fascinated by TED and TEDx for years, but have had one frustration: TEDxKids events often have super-clever adults telling us what eight year olds need, but rarely do we hear eight year olds - normal, unprimed, raw, and en masse - giving their take on the planet they will inherit.

• A Magazine Is an iPad That Does Not Work.m4v - YouTube
  Technology codes our minds, changes our OS. Apple products have done this extensively. The video shows how magazines are now useless and impossible to understand, for digital natives. It shows real life clip of a 1-year old, growing among touch screens and print. And how the latter becomes irrelevant. Medium is message. Humble tribute to Steve Jobs, by the most important person : a baby.

• Fiction et cognition : la lecture se fait avec tous les sens | La Feuille
  Keith Oatley, professeur émérite de psychologie cognitive à l'université de Toronto et romancier, a avancé que la lecture produit une simulation vivante de la réalité. "La lecture fonctionne sur les esprits des lecteurs comme des simulations informatiques qui s'exécutent sur des ordinateurs", estime le professeur Oatley. Selon lui, la fiction, avec ses détails, ses métaphores, ses descriptions, offre une réplique particulièrement riche de la réalité. Le roman, va bien au-delà de la simulation de la réalité puisqu'il apporte aux lecteurs une expérience inaccessible hors de la page : la possibilité d'entrer pleinement dans les pensées et les sentiments des autres.

  plus on leur avait lu des histoires, plus leur théorie de l'esprit était vive - l'effet a également été observé avec des enfants qui allaient au cinéma avec leurs parents, mais pas pour les enfants regardants seuls la télévision : comme quoi, la compréhension d'autrui dépend certainement plus des conversations que la culture induit que des produits culturels en tant que tels. L'effet lecture est plus prégnant parce que la réflexion est bien souvent induite dans la lecture elle-même, ce qui n'est pas forcément le cas d'autres médias.

• About Half of Americans Reading a Book
  PRINCETON, NJ -- About one in every two Americans is engrossed in some type of book, according to Gallup's latest measure of the public's reading habits. About half of Americans also say they have read more than five books in the past year, not much different from the number reported a decade and a half ago. There is no widespread pattern as to how people select their books -- some choose by the author, others based on recommendations from their friends, and still others by browsing in a bookstore or library.

• 'Can we fix it' is the right question to ask - Telegraph
  "Setting goals and striving to achieve them assumes, by definition, that there is a discrepancy between where you are and want to be. When you doubt, you probably achieve the right mindset," researcher Albarracin explained in an email to me. "In addition, asking questions forces you to define if you really want something and probably think about what you want, even in the presence of obstacles."
• Why ICT should still be taught in schools and a way to do it properly : Just an IT Teacher
