      This is an old link that I never had the chance to take a look at before. I'm wondering now if it will be relevant for us. What do you think?

    Welcome to the website for Foto-Mosaik-Edda. Foto-Mosaik-Edda is software which allows you to create photo mosaic pictures from your own computer. A photo mosaic picture is made up of tiny photos which are fitted together in such a way that, from a distance, they blend together to create the appearance of a new picture.

    John Seely Brown: Tinkering as a Mode of Knowledge Production
  •  
    This is a different world we live in, one of peer based learning within communities where people learn from each other. Moving into a world of change. "Tinkering is taking your imagination and building something from It". Tinkering with ideas around us, asking good questions, being open to criticism, accepting the criticism and learning from it. Yes, developing critical thinkers." Create, Reflect and Share - peer based learning, kids learning from each other. Working together shoulder by shoulder. Allowing students to find the idea and take their learning where they want it to go. Constructing a new kind of learning environment teaching and understanding each other. The teacher being a mentor in the learning environment, constructing an environment were we are always constructing and teaching one another. Relating tinkering to technology is simple. Tools in the digital world allow learners to take an idea, make change for better or worse, play with knowledge. Developing ideas not necessarily new ones, but grown ones that exist. It allows learners to create knowledge on the fly and foster imagination. What an amazing video, definitely a must to watch, it fostered my ideas of peer based learning. Loved the way it related back to education way back where one teacher taught kids of all ages, where tinkering was definitely the way education was driven. Older kids helping younger. This is the way John thinks we should be going in education, I feel we are moving in that direction but it is evolving. Watch the video and enjoy!
