肯尼•羅賓森問，學校扼殺了創意嗎? Video on TED.com

I have been leading a busy life for the past ten years since I changed the track of life. In the first eight years, I have been devoted to the learning world, and I indeed acquired a lot while exploring this world! I have to say it was a tiring world, but rich. However, things seem to change. Still busy? Yes, but I feel lonely, tedious, and dry. I need to search the spring of life.

Really Amazing!!! 世界上最神奇的數字：142857 看似平凡的數字，為什麼說他最神奇呢？我們把它從1乘到6看看： 142857 X 1 = 142857 142857 X 2 = 285714 142857 X 3 = 428571 142857 X 4 = 571428 142857 X 5 = 714285 142857 X 6 = 857142 142857 X 7 = 999999 同樣的數字，只是調換了位置，反覆的出現。那麼把它乘與7是多少呢？我們會驚人的發現是 999999。 而142 + 857 = 999 14 + 28 + 57 = 99 142857 X 142857 = 20408122449 20408 + 122449 = 142857。 最後，我們用 142857 乘與 142857，答案是：20408122449 前五位+上後五位的得數是多少呢？ 20408 + 122449 = 142857。 關於其中神奇的解答「142857」 它發現於埃及金字塔內，它是一組神奇數字，它證明一星期有7天，它自我累加一次，就由它的6個數字，依順序輪值一次，到了第7天，它們就放假，由999999去代班，數字越加越大，每超過一星期輪迴，每個數字需要分身一次，你不需要計算機，只要知道它的分身方法，就可以知道繼續累加的答案，它還有更神奇的地方等待你去發掘！也許，它就是宇宙的密碼，如果您發現了它的真正神奇秘密…… 142857×1＝142857（原數字） 142857×2＝285714（輪值） on duty 142857×3＝428571（輪值） on duty 142857×4＝571428（輪值） on duty 142857×5＝714285（輪值） on duty 142857×6＝857142（輪值） on duty 142857×7＝999999（放假由9代班） off 142857×8＝1142856（7分身，即分為頭一個數字1與尾數6，數列內少了7） 142857×9＝1285713（4分身） 142857×10＝1428570（1分身） 142857×11＝1571427（8分身） 142857×12＝1714284（5分身） ...

I've been working day and night. I am totally exhausted. Thus, I need to find out something to relax myself. Source: Youtube Starry, starry night. Paint your palette blue and grey, Look out on a summer's day, With eyes that know the darkness in my soul. Shadows on the hills, Sketch the trees and the daffodils, Catch the breeze and the winter chills, In colors on the snowy linen land. Now I understand what you tried to say to me, How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they did not know how. Perhaps they'll listen now. Starry, starry night. Flaming flowers that brightly blaze, Swirling clouds in violet haze, Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.

1.《異數》作家葛拉威爾 (http://www.cw.com.tw/article/index.jsp?page=1&id=38846) 作者：整理卅吳怡靜 出處：天下雜誌 430期 2009/09 創造力由何而來？成功者的才華與創意，當真那麼源源不絕，輕而易舉？ 葛拉威爾（Malcolm Gladwell）可不這麼認為。這位以《引爆趨勢》、《決斷兩秒間》等暢銷書聞名的英裔加拿大作家堅信， 創意得花大量的時間來培養、練習。 身形瘦削，頂著招牌的爆炸頭（他母親是牙買加人），四十六歲的葛拉威爾，擅長引用數據，從表面的現象，切入分析背後的社會人文意涵，歸納趨勢，引爆話題。 這幾年，他快速竄紅，不但被《時代雜誌》選為全球百位最有影響力的人物之一，更名列收費最高的十大演講者，八月初在香港首度「開talk」，票價就高達六千港幣。 去年底，葛拉威爾出版第三本書《異數》（Outliers），探討傑出的成功人士為什麼與眾不同。他指出，不管哪一種專業，成功的最大前提，都是要有一萬個小時的不斷練習。 在美國專業設計協會的演說中，他信手拈來一則則成功者的故事，印證即便是創意與創新，也需要大量的磨練，才有出類拔萃的成功。 我對設計其實一竅不通，所以決定從一個最通俗的題目──知名搖滾樂團佛利伍麥克（Fleetwood Mac）的故事──找出一些對創意有用的啟示。 這種典型的搖滾樂團發跡故事，你們早就聽過了，不是嗎？幾個年輕嬉皮在一起搞音樂，運氣好出了一張暢銷專輯，從此暴紅。 一般人都覺得這種故事沒什麼營養，他們的成功只是機緣，不值得學習。但我卻要告訴大家，從這個樂團的成功，我看到了兩個有用的啟示，可以讓我們學到：創意是怎麼來的。 「一萬個小時」定律 第一個啟示，與創意的時間有關。 當初，我會對這樂團產生興趣，是因為有個音樂界朋友問我，「你覺得 佛利伍麥克 最棒的專輯是哪一張？」「當然是《謠言》啦。」「你知道這是他們的第幾張專輯嗎？」「第三張吧？」「錯了，是第十六張。」 重點就在這裡。推出《謠言》之前， 佛利伍麥克整整花了十年 ，做了十五張專輯，但是水準多半很差，直到後來，他們終於找到了最好的團員組合與音樂表現。 我們總以為，才華或創意是現成的，需要時很快就有。但佛利伍麥克的故事讓我們知道，創意不是這麼來的，它得花大量的時間...

【吳錦勳╱採訪】 2009/08/30 今年五十七歲的吳念真雖然很會拍廣告、很會說故事，但他真在意的是：「台灣越來越沒有這種地方自然凝聚的真情。」他說我們活在一個人與人之間信任越來越稀薄的現實，但在心裡又對過去真情甜美無比眷戀，「而偏偏情義和真情是台灣現在最缺乏的東西。」他想經由戲劇，讓大人重新找到真情，讓小孩可以放肆大笑。談到台灣的未來，他吐了一口長煙，意味深長地說：「如果小孩子都沒有了笑容，我們這一代這樣拚死拚活的車拚，又有什麼意義？」 １台灣傳統的情感 情感，是台灣最可貴的東西。我有個病態的習慣，我自己也覺得很奇怪，十幾年的老朋友好不容易見面了，分別時說了「再見」，他轉身走了，我下意識會忍不住再回頭，再看一眼他遠去的身影，好好仔細地記住他的背影。因為我很怕，他這轉身一走，就是永別。 這是九份礦坑長大的我，面對人生不測的一種潛意識反應。以前爸爸早上下坑，我們擔心他晚上會不會回來，大家做的都是危險的工作，不知道你哪天會出事，因此朋友間的情義和承諾特別重要。 情義和承諾的背後伴隨的叫「信任」。我知道我幫你做了什麼事，你以後一定會幫我做什麼，而且不必講出來。十多年前，我爸得到礦工的職業病──矽肺病住院，已經末期了，罩呼吸器，住加護病房，有一天我們去看他，等我們走了之後，他就從四樓打開窗戶跳樓。這對我的打擊很大，那天我記得剛好是颱風夜。他過世前跟我說：「我的喪事你放心，因為你爸爸幫過很多人。」真的，那天晚上八點多我爸出事，我打電話給媽媽，消息一傳開，夜裡十點多，外頭大風大雨，我家客廳卻熱鬧的擠了二十幾個人，幫媽媽處理事情。 我爸那些朋友都已經五、六十歲，而且都跟我爸一樣有矽肺病，出殯那天卻堅持要合力把棺木抬上山去。原木棺很重，十幾個人這樣撐著，我站在他們後面，看到他們的腳在階梯上顫抖，一步步踩著上山……直到今天想到那情景，還是會忍不住哭出來。 我們九份那個老村莊，民國六十幾年就沒了，消失三十多年了，但我最近還要去吃我媽的換帖會，之前也有我爸的換帖會；村子沒了，但關係還在。你當然會很珍惜這種感情。 ２為什麼我們不再彼此信任？ 這就是台灣人說的：「人啊，互相互相啦！」因為信任在裡面。有一天，人與人之間的信任感不見了，就不會輕易承諾什麼。現在這種傳統情感、承諾或是情義，慢慢沒有了。為什麼？我不知道，是社會慢慢進步，是政治操弄，...

How could it happen again? It is hard to imagine that a smart person like me can be made of fun twice--last year and this year. I need to open my eyes next year!

資料整理：淡江大學 陳甄容 好書推薦：《教研相長-解開大學教學與研究之謎》 原文書名：Clarifying Some Myths of Teaching and Research 作 者：郭位，Mark. E Troy 譯 者：宋嘉行 出 版 社：清華大學 出版日期：2009.5.30 這幾年來「教學評鑑」一詞可說是風靡各大專校院，「教學評鑑」的成果與最終目的日益受到重視，然而評鑑是否可以衡量且反應出教師教學的成效？卻是值得教育相關單位深思、探討的。 《教研相長–解開大學教學與研究之謎》這本書，取自於美國德州農工大學1998至2003年近10,000名學生對老師們所作的期末評鑑等資料來進行統計分析，探討「教學評鑑」對於老師和學生之間的教授、學習與研究等互動關係。香港城市大學郭位校長在這本書中，以胡適先生的「大膽假設，小心求證」的方式來論述，歸納得出教學是可以被評量的，且教學工作亦是困難的。 本書主要闡述「生產力」「表現力」和「最終效率」三個論點，來說明教學評鑑中應該要包含的項目、方法與態度，並從這之中也可看出老師與學生們之間的互動性。一個好老師有很多評鑑的方式，學生們是參考的指數。教學的好壞需要被評量，也是需要被指出教學的缺失，進而改善教學的方式，讓教學更有效率的發揮。因此「教學評鑑」是根據評量上的數據來統計分析，以客觀的方式來評量與瞭解老師的教學成果，及學生對於老師的評價。 香港城市大學郭位校長以「教學是大學最重要的使命之一」為本書前言開端，也指出「教學績效的測量的確是一個很繁雜的工作」。作者亦說明70%以上的老師是贊同「教學評鑑」，倘若沒有「教學評鑑」的評量，老師們就會產生自說自話的效果，對於接受教育的學生們提出的抗辯，就會有無力點產生。因此在這本書裡以科學的態度和方法，把大學教育制度下的敎學和研究等相關的因素明列出來，進行數據的統計與分析來說明釐清研究能力與教學品質的互動關係，為教育的歷程建立「讓證據說話」的典範。

I forgot where I read the passage below, but I am quite impressed by it. I should tell myself studying without any doubts in the current situation: A person should live so as to be like a poem and a thing should look so as to be like a picture. The only way to achieve it is to study and to travel. Studying makes me humble whereas traveling makes me widen my life.

教學輔導理論與實務 張德銳 國立臺北教育大學 What I learned from the class: Whenever the teacher starts lecturing, he always tells a joke. Don’t forget to praise peers and students. Section 3：「態度決定高度格、局決定結局」 李維“依然是我” 分類：引用推薦 2008/07/07 11:07 李維“依然是我” 我們可以選擇希望，或失望。 我們可以選擇包容，或憤怒。 我們可以選擇善意，或恨毒。 還記得《超人》這部電影嗎？ 坦白說我只零零星星地看過一些片段。 另外，就是透過媒體，知道「超人」的男主角克里斯多夫‧李維（Christopher Reeves），從馬上摔落，脖子斷裂，終身殘障的新聞。 一個癱瘓者的選擇 我曾在CNN的Call-in節目中，看到主持人賴利‧金（Larry King）訪問超人的遺孀。 她身著紅套裝，長長的捲髮，充滿活力，臉上的笑容讓人難以想像她是一位剛喪偶不久的女士。 電視畫面穿插播放著李維坐在輪椅上的活動；有的是他做復健的過程；也有他們夫婦倆一起參加各種社交活動的鏡頭，包括奧斯卡頒獎典禮。 聽眾不斷打電話進去，李維太太也滿面笑容地回答或感謝。 後來，一位男士打進來，他的第一句話就是，他現在是一個殘障者。 他數年前在車禍中扭斷了脖子，曾經失去生存意志，有一次真的要自殺。 但李維不屈不撓的表現、對生命的熱愛，鼓舞了他，他不但要繼續活下去，還要幫忙他人。 他接著告訴李維太太，他已經報名參加基金會活動，要是有什麼他可以做的，請她打電話給他。 輪椅超人太太的選擇 李維太太的表情由難過轉為莊嚴，進而感動。 她說:高興李維的遭遇能影響這麼多人。 結束前，賴利‧金還問她，想不想交男朋友，再結婚。 他用感嘆的語氣說，「妳這麼年輕，這麼美，一定有追求的男士。」 她也開玩笑地問主持人，「你是不是其中的一人？」節目就在這樣喜悅的節奏中結束了。 我關上電視，告訴太太我要一個人到外面走走。 我想到了很多事。 我們每個人一生都會遭遇很多不如意的事，從生病、沒能進好學校、股票賠錢，到更嚴重的事，如心愛的人離我們而去、受我們幫助過的人不感恩，還進而背叛。 還有，我們每天都會遇到不按規矩開車的人、買咖啡不排隊的人、上完廁所不洗手的人。 ...

Section 3 Action Research 洪福財 國立臺北教育大學教育經營與管理學系 Why action research? Questions will present in the current situation (回到現場) e.g. How do teachers establish or face the policy of “三品”? What teachers think usually differs from administrative ministers who provide policies. 研究的分類（依性質分） 1. 基礎研究（basic research） for no reason, just do for seeking for knowledge.  Some consider it not valuable to solve the current problems. Thus, the theory researched must be place in the current situation. Applied research therefore appears. 2. 應用研究（applied research） its purpose is “copy” and “paste”—to apply the theory to other similar situations (application) 3. 評鑑研究（evaluation research） After researching, it is necessary to tell people how the theory works. It is usually conducted by the government. For example, 9-year consistency education needs to be researched. It is evaluation research. Thus, evaluation research, therefore, becomes important. 4. 行動研究（action research） However, the result of the ...

The following article just tells what I feel recently. Yes. I always tell myself that this stuff accompanies me for a long time or I do not throw it out because sooner or later I will use it. However, I never do. How long can I live? No idea! So, how long can I have a chance to use it or to remember it? After all, there is a lot of stuff waiting for me. 文/辛喬 打開置物櫃，總是會發現存放已久的雜物。這些雜物都會有個理由或藉口，留在那陳年不動的角落。當東西堆疊的越多，有形無形的雜物也就一直徘徊不去。它讓你經常沉緬過去，無法邁向未來。 「丟東西」難嗎？老實說有點難，難在與自己的理由、藉口奮戰，難在說服自己這東西無用處、未來也不需要。過時永不再穿的衣服，不丟棄只因為是高價購買；少了一隻的襪子，總覺得可能與另一雙少了一隻襪子湊成一雙；過了期的成藥、陳年的佐料罐、永遠用不到的百貨公司贈品，還有那塞滿東西而無法打開的抽屜……我們保留了一大堆不相關的東西，這些東西真的對我們很重要嗎？ 這本《丟掉50樣東西，找回100分人生》作者教你藉由「丟掉東西」來去除所有與自身不相干有形或無形的雜物，突破人生障礙，協助人們帶著自己最好的部分，進入人生下一個階段。既然「丟掉東西」一點都不難，要怎麼丟，才能改變自己，找回一百分人生？ 啟動清倉衝勁很簡單，當你熟知丟棄規則、準備一些工具、拿出筆記本，就可展開行動。從家裡到工作，從情緒到心靈，開始整理慢慢丟東西。所有雜誌書報算一樣，幾件不穿的衣服也算一樣，不用的資料夾、過期的保養品...慢慢的丟滿五十樣東西。 為什麼一定要丟滿五十樣東西？因為當你丟滿50樣東西，你將會啟動某種奇妙的動能，在不知不覺中把丟東西變成一種習慣，一種持續的心態，然後掌握自己的人生，不再被負面的情緒的殘骸所擺佈，追求真正美好的事物，向精彩的人生邁進。 「丟掉東西」並不是純粹為了創造整潔或井然有序的生活，而是要釐清自己的角色，決定...

June 17, 2009 The Power of Perspective Hawk Medicine Hawks have the power to soar high above the earth, giving them a perspective previously only available to the inhabitants of the heavens above. Because of this, people from various cultures throughout history have seen them as messengers of spirit, bringing wisdom from the heavens and the value of their higher vision down to earth. From their vantage point, riding on the wind and sunlight, they remind us today that there is a bigger picture to be seen. When we get bogged down with the details of what is right in front of us, hawks help us remember that we are part of a larger plan and that everything fits together beautifully and perfectly. Once in this expanded frame of mind, we can harness their reputation as visionaries, using their keen eyesight to focus on the exact spot that truly needs our attention. With inspiration and focus on our goal, hawks teach us how to interpret and then follow our personal vision. http://www.dailyom....

After sharing what I've done before, I seem to get no response from others, except one word--good! It seems there is a gap among us. No wonder a lot of people say teaching is lonely.

I've been figuring out how to videotape the lecture for ages because I like it but I do not have any technological background, sufficient support and much time.

I need to take a note in case I forget it. I will definitely master it this summer when I have full time working on it. THE WORLD IS BEAUTIFUL AGAIN! WHEN I ENCOUNTER NEW KNOWLEDGE, I KNOW MY ENERGERY IS COMING BACK! HAHA! ALSO, MY SWEETIE STUDENTS BOUGHT ME A CAKE TO CELEBRATE MOTHER'S DAY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME OF THE 18 YEARS, I GUESS.

Poor Teacher, I found you felt unhappy these days. These days? Or maybe longer? Why? You told me that your happiness has been built on students' achievement. So, do your students disappoint you? Hey, you know students! It is impossible for them to insist all their attention to one thing for long. No? You mean, your students are fine? Then, why do you feel sad? Oh, I misunderstood you. It is not the problem that your students do not concentrate on one thing for long; it is that your students do not learn for a whole semester or even for a whole year! Wow! How could you survive? Are you talking to the wind or the air when it is time in class? How could you stand it for almost the semester? No, a whole year! Wow, no wonder, you are unhappy. A year?! What a disaster! You cannot have any sense of achievement in teaching. You are humans, not saints. Busy life or much workload is okay for you because you are a great teacher. You are great to handle every tiny difficulty. Yet, it is hard t...

I was informed they had ranked my proposal first. Wow! I can't believe it! If you ask me whether I am excited about the news, I would say "I don't know...." Why? This winter vacation, I went back to Tainan to enjoy the sun and the leisure. However, as usual, all the syndromes of sickness just came out! The Chinese saying can describe everything: "Here hurt, there hurt!" Thus, I told myself that this time I needed to make up my mind to be a "smart" teacher. Yet, when I came back to Taipei, wow, I suddenly found that I did not finish reading all the teaching stuff and I even did not finish doing the PowerPoint files for this semester. My papers are still lying on the desk and stored in my computer. They are calling me: finish it, finish it! Hey... not so good! This is not my style. Then, the school is starting. I have no choice but to start working again! Then, at the moment, the news just popped out! So, what did you say?

In the winter, in the freezing weather, it is a great thing for anyone to enjoy sitting under the sun. Yes. Here is what I am doing right now. Reading CNN magazine! Taking a nap! Sleeping early! Taking a walk in woods! These are what I am doing in here. I cannot believe it I am enjoying this kind of life! This is really a life! What should I do once I return to Taipei? Is it possible for me to have the same life? I need to readjust my schedule in Taipei.

Last week, Chu told me that I spoke English in my sleep. In fact, it was not the first time I did so. But I remembered it always happened when I had pressure such as before a big exam, an important interview or something like that. Interestingly, it happened last week during the Chinese New Year in Tainan. There is something more interesting happening. I had a prompt speech in my sleep (or dream) last night. I did not know it was in my dream or my sleep, but I know the topic was "eating." What I remembered is that one thing I have to do is "eating" during the Chinese New Year. In greeting people or in a reunion party, I have to eat. When you see off people, I have to eat. I go to visit others, and, of course, I have to eat. Eat, eat, eat... In fact, I forgot most of the content, but I remember it was a perfect speech! Even so, I still feel it doesn't make any sense at all. The weather or the atmosphere in Tainan usually makes me relaxed even though I am still wo...

Time really flies. While celebrating the New Year and writing syllabi for next semester, I reflect myself what I did in the past year. Besides grumbling my busy schedule and overloaded work, did I have any contribution to my research and personal learning? Perhaps, but far less. After all, I have finished my studies for one year, so I should have all my effort in my personal research. I gave a presentation in Lungwha University and a speech in Chenkuo Junior High. I also had a conference paper in Tamkang University. However, I don't think these are not enough. I should write something new and more. I knew a lot of stuff in my brain, but I did not write it down. In addition, I did not manage my time and effort well, either. I spent a great deal of time checking my students’ papers, but I did not see their much progress. Did I have too much expectation of them? Did I give them as well as me too much pressure? As I mentioned in my speech, I need to be a smart teacher! But how? Well, m...
