I do think schools can benefit from Pomodoro's. There is a lot of learning research to back this up.<br />Not only individuality, but, contributing my individuality to a group of other individuals. The self-organization and emergent learning and growth that can take place with Agile in the classroom is really amazing to see, and I have seen it first hand several times. the concept of "flow" is essential, as the students take the Agile concept of "pull", instead of the traditional teaching practice of "push", so student can find the right balance of challenge to facilitate the state of flow. We'll see how this grows : ) Thanks again and keep providing ideas!<br /><br />John Millerjohn millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17411493015703820658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350167558371707756.post-5047137088088459152012-11-27T14:16:24.353-07:002012-11-27T14:16:24.353-07:00Hey John,

I do the same as you with the pomodoros. <br /><br />Current schools are somewhat backwords. They should focus more on financial intelligence, moral responsibility and individuality, efficiency (pomodoro method, photo reading, mental math maybe, study skills), as well as the classics for a good background which contribute to the moral codes I had mentioned earlier. Maybe if we were to do this, society might not be in the pickle it is in today. <br /><br />Working out between pomodoros is something I do as well. Meditating during breaks is a great idea if you could get a type of meditation that might be conducive to "flow state." Which by the way is another thing you may wish to get into. <br /><br />Good luck, <br /><br />anthonyg@westerncapitalventures.com<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
