Perspective on Finnish Education by Amy & Kia

                                         The symbol of the teachers in United States is apple

Tift College of Education in Mercer University (Georgia U.S.A) researchers Amy Bagby and Kia James visited Jyväskylä area schools. Focus was all level K-12 schools and at least the Institute of Educational Leadership in Jyväskylä University. Researchers wanted to gain better understanding of the Finnish education system. The information they gathered from this research will be used to make recommendations for policy change in the United States. Amy and Kia observed classrooms with a primary focus on teachers and their actions. Researchers worked hard and visited in three days – 8 different schools and lot of staff!

Creating entrepreneurial DNA through education

How we can create entrepreneurship through the education system?

A group of 26 Colombian University Professors and Deans of few Colombian Universities, and some Colombian Government representatives visited our school and Muurame community.  Professors wanted to see how entrepreneurship studies and entrepreneurial attitude can be spread also to the elementary schools and smaller pupils.

 

Last year we had certain entrepreneurship year in all our community’s  schools. We had training camp to K-12 and later to teachers. Every school level went through same kind of “BusinessCamp”.  Pupils, students and teachers and principals trained same kind of studies :

1.       Team learning / build a team and work with it

2.       Project learning / real project and implementation

3.       Technology included / iPads in presentations

4.       Creativity tasks / baking cakes together

5.       Joy and laugh

Why school news ?

Our school has started broadcast the news of our own lately. We got this idea from Chrystal Polski U.S. Fulbright teacher from Minnesota. She is now having a Fulbright season in Finland Jyväskylä area. There are lot of 21st century educational and learning perspectives in school news. Here some ideas :

1. Using technology like iPads and iMovie
2. News were totally made by students = ownership of the school
3. Performance and creativity
4. Sharing via Youtube, Twitter and Facebook
5. Communication is leading / flow of information
6. Collaboration and trust between students and teachers
7. Flipped classroom in communication

We had marvellous chance to join and learn Google/Samsung concepts in Hämeenlinna (Finland) ICT conference. Google has enormous vision to manage all the information on earth. They have great plans also in education sector. We heard Mr Ross Mahon (Gafe Evangelist) who works at Google trying to get the world of education thinking about 100 % web.

Google thinks that we need to prepare our  kids/students for a world we can't see yet. They believe that next generation will need following skills :

Google's answer for that is Gafe (Google Apps for Education) ecosystem. Gafe consist the whole package : Chromebook, Apps, Google +, E-mails, Google Drive etc. Their point is learning on the web. They might be on the right track...

Our school has done several years mobile learning with tablets. We use mostly iPads. Every teacher has iPad of their own and students can use school’s iPads. Nowadays we have 45 iPads at school. Tablets are quite useless without proper cloud computing strategy. The main questions with tablets are :

1.       How to store files with tablets ?

2.       How to share files and materials, videos, photos etc. ?

We have worked out this problem with school’s official account. Muurame senior high school has got own accounts in Slideshare, Dropbox, Instagram and Youtube. Teachers know the passwords and students/teachers can store and share files via these accounts.
