"A mashup of democratic and project-based learning would enhance the characteristics that lie at the heart of the entrepreneurial mindset. Zhao envisions schools that combine three essential elements: a freedom-based, non-coercive environment (as can be found at England's democratic Summerhill School); enhanced project-based learning opportunities (such as those offered at New Technology High in Napa, California); and interaction with the larger world (as practiced by a program that allows students at the Cherwell School in Oxford, England, to collaborate with students at the Gcato School in Eastern Cape, South Africa)."

"I'm going to say something that may not be popular now, but I hope you'll bear with me for a minute. To me, the Make Bank feels like it's for "the good stuff" or for the fancy makers. This isn't necessarily because of anything Educator Innovator or CLMOOC has put out; it's just my feel. I'll be honest… I'm intimidated by it! Since I'm a little bit intimidated by it, I don't really think about the Make Bank as I'm playing with CLMOOC prompts. I'll be really frank -- the page in the Make Bank featuring the comic is the only one I've visited since I started with the CLMOOC in 2013. I'm a little bit embarrassed to mention that, but I mention it because I might not be the only person who has this experience. If others are intimidated by the Make Bank and staying in the more social spaces like G+, Twitter, or Facebook, I think this comic should be there too. The audience of the comic is those who are new to CLMOOC and making, so the comic should be in places new participants frequent. "
