      This seems to be the crux of the remix concept, right? As we work with other media, wrangle it into something new, we get closer to the source of inspiration. We're removing some of the barriers between reader/writer, producer/consumer ... in a good way (in my opinion).

  • Businesses often want to see the ROI of something before committing to it. This is just a defence mechanism to ensure the status quo. If we keep the investment low enough, we don’t need to worry about the return on it. This allows for wide experimentation; not quick wins but quick losses.

      Tell the story of the zeitgeist.
  • I usually suggest that it does not matter what you do, just do something. Let people safely experiment. I suggested to a school board that they give $100 to every teacher to invest in whatever they wanted, without any direction. Teachers could buy something for their classrooms, or perhaps a number of them could pool their money and make a larger impact. The cost would be low. The impact would be wide. The possibilities would be greater than any central committee could plan.

  • Overcrowding in the curriculum was the main issue of concern raised by principals, teachers and parents during the review conducted by education consultant Kevin Donnelly and academic Ken Wiltshire.
  • The reviewers said they were not saying there was no place for inquiry-based learning but that caution should be exercised to ensure it did not become the prevailing orthodoxy.
    • Tania Sheko

      What does that actually mean? Inquiry learning should be exercised with caution? "There will be no inquiry in mathematics!"

      "Time" becomes different when you are in an open online space. While we might put time constraints around ideas (this Make Cycle, this Learning Cycle), a true open learning space would allow entry and exit, and re-entry, at any point in time. This doesn't always jive with university criteria (finish this during this semester or you get an incomplete!)

      This is so important -- that we are not writing into the wind ... that others are out there, connecting and sharing and asking questions, and pushing us to ask questions, too. When that part of a cMOOC fails, the entire endeavor is pointless. I see a course like CCourses as a place to launch from as much as dive into.
