1. why we do..  redefine school (click top tumblr)
   dilemma - not that US isn't smart/creative enough... just need more rigor/passion
                   major on our attributes.. less is more
   pilot - 30 kids w/laptops on a mission
   finding: we're all different, so to optimize must inidivualize
   solution: with web - we can personalize... in order to let learning happen per passion
   a) what do you want to be when you grow up   gus (& other me-videos)
              take time to find/refine passions (teacher & students)
               {perhaps a 1st connection for fellows}

   b) let's make that happen - facilitate connections
              @akamrt  - gregory thompson
It’s time we get back to asking, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
and then designing revolutionary learning environments where we, as parents, teachers, administrators, and communities, can assist students in achieving their answer to the question.  
That is the purpose of school.
   c) via personal learning networks -
         think of project/inquiry based learning on steroids
                         steroids: you pick your own group - from anywhere
                         1. expert individual tutor per passion     f e l l o w - Allen
                         2. mentors per passion                      Amy and ?
                         3. on managing ple ie:  symbaloo
        
2. what if we do  ...school becomes real life
   oil spill
   sla
   mayor
3. how we do ... our class site talk-ed
    one place where Amy's class will meet up -student 2.0
    another -junto   buttons
                                                     ...getting more value out of live
                         energetic conversation
                                         that builds
                                          collective
                                        intelligence

    student learning permiculture will meet up here - new school
