      (made a comment and lost a comment) Is this more of our loop conversation that started on twitter? I like Simon's words of "You are just on a longer loop" to Susan. Looping around.
  • I found that the way it appeared to be militated and implemented within institutions wrung out all the joy and potential of that which technology could bring:

      You helped them determine their own freedom.  Determining freedom sounds paradoxical if not downright oxymoronic.

      Determining freedom sounds appalling! Trying to create a fissure or crack in implacable academic space where freedom could emerge?

      They were bad - we were bad... all bad! (Just heard on the radio: When shepherds get hungry - they will eat their sheep... I think this is it: when we punish the teachers they eat their sheep!)

      I'd say, good dog, there.
  • And it definitely did not feel like joyful learning.

      This is an example of joyful learning for me: listening to Wendell Berry's poetry in his voice.  This is joy rising up from the ground, not power raining down from above.

      I'd like to see it, in fact, now that you have me curious ... does it still live online?
  • I have tried to bring some of that back for my students – to see if the passion and the play could happen in our classrooms as well.

      Just wanted to embed this picture.  Stillness of a zen moment while we bring the learning down from the tech mountain.

      Didn't want it to feel all Moses and messianic. I did not want to bring the learning from the tech mountain - but to say - hey - this mountain is here - there could be beauty - there is some danger - there is risk - go on - check it out for yourselves...

      This so typical, no matter the learning institution ... even in elementary schools, where you would think play would be the heart of learning. But not for teachers, apparently ....

      I imagine this becomes an intersection of reflection and introspection and identity exploration for many of them. http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/66131/2083019/identitycrisis%20copy_860.jpg

  • Every School Is A Think Tank
    • Terry Elliott

      When I first clicked I thought, "Yes, if only it was true."  Then I started having second thoughts as I read.
  • Every school, by design, opens it doors
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 09 Dec 14
       
      Schools are compulsory for the poor. Not so much for the rich. A school by design is a lot of other things as well most of which has little to do with opening doors so much as shutting them and sorting the rest into where they need to go.
  • As children solve problems in an authentic and sustainable way–this particular problem and this particular family in this particular context in this particular community–the school crystallizes into something else.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 09 Dec 14
       
      Schools could become like this: http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2014/12/covering-miamis-rising-seas-sensors-public-data-politics/ But I don't think this zombie from the past can be reborn, do you?  There are issues and problems and ideas that schools in general will not tackle, many of them they cannot tackle.  For example, how can schools become think tanks for keeping students in rural communities?

  • we were not sure how it would go, but it soon become clear that the kids are alright
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 06 Dec 14
       
      OK, this is the secret sauce of teaching and critical pedagogy in general:  trust.  I love how more often than not, the kid really are alright.
  • Come on over, if you have time, to participate in the conversation. We’d love to see you there.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 06 Dec 14
       
      I hope there is a recording of this.  Would love to be there but ...you know the drill. 
  • We teamed up our classes, and each group worked on a coding activity at Code.org based on the movie, Frozen, where the task is to create visual fractals with Blockly code.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 06 Dec 14
       
      It would be of real value to know how you decided on this particular activity.  What drew you to it? Why did you think it might bridge your students? Was there a Plan B?  Just would be neat to know how you decided to take the teaching risk this particular way.  If it was just a hunch, they why do you think you had that hunch?  I suspect that you both have a long history together where this is an almost seamless colllaboration but teasing your process out even a little bit might very well help others--like me.
