a mash-up of #unboxed thinking





huge take-away from 2009:

Sugata Mitra's - hole in the wall - kids teach themselves

Alan November's - who own learning... learniing how to learn.

Dan Myer's - less helpful - getting out of the way so that the above can happen'










huge take-away from yesterday:

The above happening via cell.
While chatting with Hannah, she asks, what works in a diamond problem if 36 is on the top and and -20 is on the bottom. I see that she's texting and think - cool, I ask, who are you texting... Upon learning over her shoulder, I see this.  texting to learn




huge take-away from this morning:
The following paragraph from David Warlick's.... jan 3 post

Education is still characterized as a place you go, to get taught — where we teach and our students learn how to be taught. Yet, in the real world, learning is not something that is done to you, but something that you do yourself, in your own way, with your resources and sense of resourcefulness. I am not saying that every student moment in school is spent in passive receipt or that teaching should never happen. But “being taught” is still the character of the beast, and it is getting in the way of helping people learn to teach themselves.



how we're currently defining -  
unboxed.


cool addition july 2010 from @wendydrexler and @ruthhoward while at least one of them is listening live to alan november:
nice - @WendyDrexler: @RuthHoward teacher as facilitator as kids have the pleasure of finding things out..(feynman)  http://bit.ly/cL5F2J (link to updated hole in the wall)
