Living Dream được mời giảng dạy về ước mơ nghề nghiệp cho các em học sinh lớp 12 ở Bến Tre. Trường dự kiến có 400 em tham gia. Để các em có cái nhìn tổng quan mà không giáo điều nhàm chán, mình dự định sẽ tổ chức 1 trò chơi hoành tráng. Vì số lượng các em rất lớn nên mình cần sự hỗ trợ chuẩn bị và điều phối buổi học này. Dự kiến là cuối tuần trong tháng 10, các bạn quan tâm comment dưới post này nhé.

I started LeadEd502x Designing and Leading Learning Systems today. I will spend 2 hours every week to work on the course.

I woke up this morning seeing a text from my MBA friend from America asking me to help him open a class on leadership and filming in Vietnam through Living Dream. I had a look at his school's website and found out that he was a fellow in Yale Center for teaching and learning. I didn't know it before! Isn't it magical? Yeah! As long as you dream about something and you try hard enough, the whole universe will help you! I can't wait to talk more with him over this weekend. Your dream is powerful!

https://ed.stanford.edu/faculty/paulob: I'm interested in almost all of his current researches, especially the topic "Constructionist, project-based learning" and "Low cost educational technologies for developing countries"

Nhờ câu chuyện của chị Hoa - founder Living Dream, em có thêm động lực để 2018 là một năm để em trở thành 1 người có kiến thức đủ để trao đổi với các giáo sư trong ngành khoa học giáo dục và ứng dụng công nghệ.
PAC - Passion - Attitude - Commitment
PAC - Plan - Action - Creative
2 chữ PAC này nếu chưa có quyết tâm và mục tiêu rõ ràng thì có thể chưa cảm nhận hết, cũng là chưa thực sự muốn điều gì đó, muốn tới mức cả vũ trụ sẽ hợp sức giúp đỡ mình.
Hi vọng các bạn đang có ước mơ có đủ 2 chữ PAC để thực hiện ước mơ của mình trong năm 2018.

I like animated movies, and fairy tales. I actually believe in fairy tales. I keep reminding me of a quotes from Cinderella story: "Have courage and be kind".
Have courage is to go beyond my comfort zones, to overcome fear, to dare to dream big.
Be kind is to always do good things and help as many people as I can.
Thus, I keep dreaming of bringing education to more and more people, and of inspiring young people to serve the community.

For this year, developing strong community for Living Dream and designing the dream CV for the platform are the key milestones of Living Dream. Meanwhile I also need to prepared to apply for PhD in education, I would expect a very exciting and busy year 2018. I will have 1 week of holiday for Lunar New Year to do as much as possible on myself. Thus, there are 3 books I want to complete:

1/ The Cambridge Handbook of the Learning Sciences (as suggested by Stanford Learning Sciences and Technology Design in Stanford)
2/ Design for How people learn (I have finished 25% of the book and found that very helpful and practical in improve training/mentoring people, I'm excited to finish it and start applying and teaching it in Pedagogy university)
3/ Platform revolution (to build the business model for Living Dream as a platform)

Every year, I used my Lunar New Year holiday effectively to improve myself such as to adapt with my new job and new roles 4 years ago, to research about MBA 2 years ago, and to overcome my depression last year. I can' wait to finish the 3 interesting books this time.

I will start to learn about instruction and education in technology: Some interesting courses are:
