About cohere
Cohere aims to help learners understand how they can connect the learning that happens in every moment with formal education. Cohere has built a prototype mobile app called instaAcademy on GlideApps: a 'no code' platform for developing basic apps and MVPs.
Learning isn't just something that happens in the classroom it happens all the time. It isn't just about abstract representations and concepts, but about feeling, being and doing. The fastest and most powerful learning happens before children go into any kind of formal education where place, space and feeling are the bedrock of learning.
Arguably, learners are 'educated out' of creativity and the joy of learning by formal education systems: "Our education system has mined our minds in the way that we strip-mine the earth for a particular commodity. And for the future it won't serve us" (Sir Ken Robinson)
If we all understand better how we learn, we will be better at 'doing the learning' and be better able to help our children be better than us.
Let's share this learning journey together!
"Narrowing the distance between discourse and practice is what I call "coherence" ... the failure to establish harmony between theory and practice leads to a head-on collision with the coherence necessary to maintain a succinct view of the political and pedagogical project at hand" (Paulo Freire and Donaldo Macedo, Literacy: Reading the Word and the World)
