Wow. This was an intense year, this awesome, frigging 2020. We learned so much in such a short time. I can't believe it's now already nearly a year since my first experience with Home Schooling on the one hand side and additionally been thrown into giving a digital lecture and practise at the University of Applied Science.
Completely mixed experience, two hearts beating in my chest. I experienced how difficult it is, to keep 70+ students committed and entertained for 90 minutes in a zoom conference. To be honest, sometimes I was not sure, how many were actually listening. All switched their cam off ... and in the end I was happy to see so many really good written exams and had the feeling, they really understood and learned something about Modeling Business Processes and Services.
Additionally, I made really good experiences with so many other digital sessions, trainings, conferences etc. I was participating in very many awesome talks and presentations that really gave me a good feeling. I understood blended learning, attention rates, activity based experiences and learned myself a lot only.
On the bad side: I see how my own kids are struggeling at school ... bit don't get me started on this. It's really a shame, how bad the German school system is. Non-Digitalism at its best. teachers totally unable to ... well, as I said, don't get me started on this topic.
In the end of 2020, I was participating in an excellent Meetup, organized by the NewWork Berlin Group about New Learning: For some time now, academia has been intensively addressing the question of how learning can be re-anchored and redesigned among individuals and within organizations. The idea of "new learning" is intended to create an alternative model for our learning culture. But what exactly is meant by "new learning" and how can it be put into practice? You'll find out in a blog article about this meetup.
Let's hope the next generation of teachers will be able to fully understand the new concepts of learning and our school system is developing. Maybe some day, someone will learn (!) from the concepts and ideas already implemented in many companies and organisations today. Fingers crossed.

3 年Add on to #newlearning in a more company context: https://www.mckinsey.com/business-functions/operations/our-insights/everyone-is-within-learning-distance-building-skills-remotely My 2 cents: the learning is most effective, if you add a personal #coach to guide you through your daily business to fully exploit the learnings. Reflection is key to continuous learning and really changing patterns of behavior. Thanks to Daniel Breitwieser for pointing to the article!

4 年Well said Jens Hündling. I have to say, coming from the UK to working with schools and universities in Germany was quite a culture shock! Some very outdated practices still in place and a lot of resistance to change, especially in regards to technology and social and emotional learning.
