GETTING SMARTER WITH MOOCS

What's a MOOC?  The term stands for "Massive Open Online Course".  Major universities offer these courses online and they are open to all.  Participants may find traditional and non-traditional courses in virtually every discipline, including science, math, technology, business, arts and humanities.

Stanford, Yale, Harvard, MIT and numerous other institutions in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Latin America provide lectures, videos, feedback, and more at the university level and high school level.

Generally, the courses are free, but there may be a fee if participants seek certificates or degree credit. Those interested should check with the institutions about their fees, if any, and their requirements for specific courses.

A list of courses offered may be found at the following sites:

CAN GESTURES HELP CHILDREN TO GET SMARTER?

Researchers at SF State have found that young children who use gestures solve problems well in certain instances.

In the study, children from two-and-a-half to five years of age were asked to sort cards by color and shape. Children who used gestures performed better than those who did not or those who gestured less. Gestures included hand movements that demonstrated card images, like rabbits.
