Dancing Ideas in Teaching
Source- Pixabay Ideas and how we perceive them are important for creating new ideas from existing ones. A recent buzz by Savvy Raj Outlined the need for us to dance and give ourselves “permission to begin movements, in whatever way you think best…”. Dancing ideas are great because they give the ideas the permission to begin movement. This is not a fanciful idea. It is reality. Molecules in our bodies dance. Molecules love to dance. They find their rhythm in dancing. Glass molecules dance.
It has been possible to synthesize dancing molecules. I dare say “To be living is to be dancing”. Like a painter paints a lady dancing, chemists are not different and they may paint dancing molecules. This is going with nature and not against it. Teaching students on how to make dancing molecules increased their love to chemistry.

Dancing serves as a great teaching tool. In another example, teaching physics becomes more popular if we create joy of learning such as teaching different physical concepts through dancing cork.
Have you ever heard a coin that can dance? No…… well try this little easy experiment and you will have your coin use the magic of air pressure to dance the night away!
Dancing is fun and mixing fun with teaching is a great way to spur new ideas and make students at all levels fond of learning. Teachers must search for creative dancing ideas that make their subjects of teaching likable to their students. Like research has confirmed the value of fun in increasing productivity, so is teaching. It needs funny dancing ideas to make students more understanding and willing to learn with fun and anticipation.
I shall discuss in my next buzz approaching to spreading ideas and the search-based fact how to spread them like the idea presented here of mixing dancing with teaching. This is an intriguing topic and is of great interest. Spreading ideas alone isn’t enough as they have to be coupled with their implementation. The main issue I want to emphasize in this buzz is that we need dancing ideas to advance learning. The basic fact that describes organizations today is that they are learning organizations. I dare to say that:
“To be living is to be learning. To be learning is to be dancing. If water molecules dance in our bodies so we must generate dancing teaching ideas in our heads”.
Ali Anani
I end this buzz with a quote.
“Since 95 percent of the people are imitators and only 5 percent initiators, people are persuaded more by the actions of others than by any proof we can offer".
Cavett Robert
Teaching with dancing ideas may help in restoring balance so that we may have more originators than imitators.
At least, this is what I hope for in writing this buzz.

Your words dance in harmony and I shall join you in dancing, Jerry. How could I resist in view of your great thought " interactivity and putting bodies in motion always generates greater results"?

Thank you dear Zacharias \ud83d\udc1d Voulgaris. You are so right as I think it is a professor at Bristol University who developed the Dance Spectroscopy Lab. The music and dancers feedback to each other. With an attached monitor the movements of the dancers are recorded and analyzed and feedback so that the music would adapt to the dancers' movements. It is a flow state and your thinking is sharp.

I have just tweeted your fabulous slideshare presentation. I suggest you right a buzz to explain it. It is a jewel. I like what you wrote in it "We don't see reality. We only see its reflections".

I am not too sure about your comment. I visit many companies, of all kinds and sizes, and what you suggest could be an ideal world, but...is not going to happen. And I, somehow, agree with it.

That is why I highlighted the technical side of studying medicine my friend. Amazingly, I refused to study medicine for the same reasons you outlined in your comment.
David Navarro López
منذ 4 سنوات #26
That is something I had very clear when I had to decide my career. If I had studied medicine, I would be always surrounded by sick people, and in many cases, despite my best efforts, they would have terrible side effects on the illness or even die. Sorry, I have not the needed guts for it. And I am not someone who can distance himself from another suffering human being in order to keep clear my mind, and help him or her appropriately. I prefer to fix machines, and let my feelings intact for my private life.

Very well phrased comment my friend Clau Valerio. There are two worthy thoughts in your comment. First- "Most of us do not like anything that changes our routine, even though that change will make our job easier". This is the paradox. We keep saying that change is the spice of life; yet when change comes we reject it. Second- Preparation of mind for change. This has a great value in reducing the time between rejecting change and demanding it afterwards when it becomes more familiar to the workers. .I still remember when the desktop computers were introduced how secretaries rejected it because it interfered with their routine life. Now, how many secretaries are ready to abandon the desktop computer and go back to the old type writer? Great points indeed my friend.

Precisely this is the "point-no-point". There is an enormous world of knowledge which employees who are not at the production level and customers will never know, and don't need to know, and still are key for the good end of the product. This knowledge is only at hands of the people I use to train, and they know they are the ones who have it. I highlight it to give them the deserved "medals".

Great explanation and extension of your previous comments. I paused for a while reading this "Who knows more about your product? You do". This is what it supposed to be. However; we know well that many product ideas were originated by customers, or that customers found new uses for a product after its launching. Maybe to extend your idea you, your employees and customers dance together in the mud. Crazy idea- maybe and I need to verify it. Apart from this side point, your approach is sound, great and is stimulating.

How would I say that? I have learned from you so much (and i still do every day) that I would follow you anywhere. Once again, my sword is yours, my lord. You don't learn from me. It is your teachings that come back to you. (here you have another issue for your next buzz) The teacher taught.

Great point. This is a new topic and teachiung chemistry, math and physics by creating a dancing atmosphere such as dancing molecules students got interested and they started to create idea on how to change the molecular structure so that the resulting molecules may dance better. This way the students were engaged enjoying molecules dancing. In other words, the students were not dancing themselves; what they created performed the dance. Imagine if the mud dances what your students would feel?

Thank you for your wonderful comment dear Savvy Raj. I also thank you for the great links. I have seen the last two, but not the one on dancing and math. It is wonderful. Life is movement. Still water allows molds to grow in it. I want to say that if we don't move then what is good turns bad. So, movement is greater than life. More beautiful is moving with rhyme.
