Just finished watching the live Google Hangout chat with Betsy Corcoran for Edstartup 101 this morning. As a teacher and curriculum consultant participating in Edstartup, here are some of the points she made that stuck out for me.
She said new businesses change the way you do things, the time and place you do things, or the way organizations allocate funds to do things. When Edsurge reports on new companies, they look for products that change the game, have a new idea, or affect a lot of people.
Betsy thought there was a shortage of technology based curriculum products that really teach curriculum with lots of input from teachers, and I've noticed that, too, in looking at the startups for this course. She thought there was lots of room for people with research and pedogogy background to create genuine innovation and creative approaches. Don't I hope so, too!
My favorite quote, "Demonstrating mastery is far more important than what you score on a test."

Edstartup and my Introduction, take two
Note: Edstartup had a glitch with midweek joiners like me, so I'm reposting this to see if it gets in the feed....
This week I started participating in the Edstartup 101 MOOC. I'm not sure that I have any sort of "cunning plan that cannot fail" (one of the choices in the participant survey) but I feel that the experience might be useful to me.
I have a love/hate relationship with educational entrepreneurialism. On one hand, I see it as sort of a scary part of what seems to be increasing privatization of education. On the other hand, it's where some of the greatest innovations I've seen are being made.
I made this quick introduction video for that community.

Home Sick
Many people donҀt know how to deal with being home sick. We all love to be in our comfort zones so it is only natural to feel uneasy when you are away from home. The majority of the time when you arrive at a new school, you aren't going to know everyone that is there. Homesickness does creep up on you, but there are ways of dealing with it.
Socialize:
- You might not know anyone, but you do have one thing in common, you all are college students so that could be a great way to start a conversation.
- If there is a cafeteria, sit by someone and make conversation.
- Keep in mind that there are other new students there who are also shy so donҀt let that hold you back.
- No group of people can replace your family, but friends can feel like a family, so join groups.
ӀYouԀ Time:
- Find something you love to do alone, and embrace it.
- Visit the gym to get a little cardio in.
- Watch movies or T.V shows youҀve never seen.
- Most importantly, do NOT focus on the fact that you are alone; remember that your family will always be there for you and that by you going to school you are making them extremely proud!
Catch you next time,
L.U.J

How the Best Art School Chooses Its Students
 |
| Art School |
The conventional perception of art is actually far different today. Art activities only include sculpting, drawing and painting. Fortunately, the best art schools do not only offer those three mentioned activities. These schools provide much broader and exciting courses that offer a variety of newer subjects. Additional subjects in this field include animation, architecture, graphic design and culinary arts. These additional subjects offered more opportunities for those individuals who want to have further options when finding a job in the field of art. Furthermore, there are several courses that provide individuals the opportunity to make an in-depth study in their chosen field and obtain a professional degree. These schools provide many people the chance to enhance and develop their hobbies and transform it into a fulfilling and rewarding career.
The Process of Student Admissions
The best art schools in your country do not hastily pick up students. They have standards to be followed. And in order for you to get qualified, you need to go beyond the knowledge and intelligence that you have. Keep in mind that you are not the only one who wants to enroll in these types of schools. There are thousands of students like you who are very much eager to be in these schools. This is the main reason why you need to do your best. You need to stand out from many students around you.

All these things are also essential as their basis if you are qualified to enter their school. These added documents will provide them additional information to verify your technical skills if you are qualified. Admission officers will also observe your academic patterns and history.
In some countries, your talent is not only the basis for you to get qualified. Aside from the talent and skills, you should have the passion, character, patience, and dedication. You need to show this attitude during the process of application and most especially, during the time of interview.
