Education On Fire - Sharing creative and inspiring learning in our schools

By: Mark Taylor
  • Summary

  • Do you feel the education system is sucking the life out of you and the pupils you serve? I think many of us wish we could click our fingers and make it fit for purpose. A place of growth with shared learning that empowers pupils to be their best selves, so they can create a world they want to inhabit now and in the future. While a magic wand or a visionary politician might sound like the answer I believe change is already happening. Educators are changing futures one conversation at a time. New technology and the environments where we learn are beginning to look different both in and out of the classroom. I hope you are seeing this first hand and are excited about what you can share with your pupils. We are having conversations, sharing organisations and communities that are supporting education in a way that you may have not experienced. Educational change will come from us all working in way that supports the best interests of each of our pupils, personalised learning. Governments and policy makers will follow when they see fully how it can be different. So let us teach, coach, mentor and create an environment that fuels every child with feedback, inspiration, resilience and empowerment. The Education on Fire community is shining the torch, so no matter where you are in the world or how you are supporting children this podcast is here for you. ‘Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.’

  • My 1st AI Generated Podcast
    Nov 4 2024

    Today I wanted to share with you my 1st AI generated podcast.

    Why do this? I wanted to see what was possible and if it in anyway will be helpful for me and you in the future.

    I used https://notebooklm.google - added my website and details of the last few Education on Fire podcasts and asked it to create a recap show for you.

    It produced a 23 minute episode and created it in less than 5 minutes. It has 2 hosts and they discuss insights and takeaways from the last few podcasts.

    Let me know what you think. Does it share value and key takeaways? Is the dialogue engaging and are you able/willing to listen to it all?

    This like all AI is a tool and I'm not sure how or when I will use it again but as a first experiment I think it does at pretty impressive job!

  • From Classroom to Creativity: Redefining Learning with Douglas Robbins
    Oct 28 2024

    Douglas Robbins is a passionate writer and author, he discovered the power of words at a young age. Fuelled by a deep connection to language, he dedicated himself to writing and has authored five captivating books. Douglas also has a podcast for seekers looking to improve themselves and the world.

    The discussion between Mark Taylor and Douglas Robbins tackles the essential question of what education should truly encompass in the 21st century.Douglas shares his conviction that traditional education systems often fail to address the emotional and psychological needs of students, leaving them ill-prepared for adulthood. He articulates a vision of education that fosters individualism and creativity, suggesting that schools should serve as environments where children can explore their identities and passions. Through personal anecdotes, Robbins illustrates how emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in one's ability to succeed in life, stressing that a well-rounded education must include lessons on handling emotions, relationships, and personal finances. By highlighting the disconnect between educational practices and the real-world skills needed for success, Robbins challenges listeners to rethink their views on what constitutes valuable knowledge and encourages a more compassionate and comprehensive approach to teaching.

    Takeaways:

    • Education should focus on emotional intelligence and personal growth, not just academic skills.
    • Children often struggle with navigating emotions, and schools should teach emotional awareness skills.
    • Individuality in education is crucial; each child has unique strengths and interests.
    • The importance of connecting with one's authentic self is key to personal development.
    • Creativity in education is essential for solving complex problems in today's world.
    • Finding a supportive community helps individuals thrive and express their true selves.

  • Connecting Through Stories: Lucinda Sage-MidGorden's Journey in Education and Podcasting
    Oct 21 2024

    Lucinda has been a story lover since she and her family watched TV and movies together. Her father taught her how to find the deeper layers of a story. This love prompted her to pursue a double major BA in Religious Studies and Theatre and Speech, a MA in Theatre Arts, and finally a MAEd so she could share her love of stories with her students. She grew up in the Pacific Northwest but has lived in Southern Arizona for over 28 years moving there after a three month trip circumnavigating the globe.

    Now completely retired, Lucinda writes her weekly blog Sage Woman Chronicles, is working on her second novel, manages her Patreon Community and Apple subscriptions as well as producing the bi-weekly podcast, Story-Power.

    Takeaways:

    • The podcast emphasizes the importance of storytelling in understanding human emotions and connections.
    • Lucinda's journey highlights how arts education can empower students to express themselves creatively.
    • The shift towards STEM subjects in education often overlooks the value of arts and humanities.
    • Empowerment and resilience are crucial for students to navigate their personal challenges effectively.
    • Lucinda's mentors inspired her to embrace her passions and pursue a career in education.
    • The conversation underscores that learning is a lifelong process filled with valuable lessons.
