know a lot of stuff but have little curiosity
more correlation to kids that know how to form a study group than their sat scores.
curious thing about these study groups, they turn out to work virtually as well, basically equally production,
social life and intellectual life co-mingling
case in toronto - student prosecuted, had 150 in study group to do chem, very productive, but one of deans said these kids are having too much fun, they can't be learning
a new blended learning... open courseware + study groups
learning about - explicit knowledge
learning to be - tacit knowledge
importance of critique
indwelling in the space - tacit to the individual - is there a way to blend the cognitive and tacit
indwelling is a marinating in the cognitive
speed chess - if you take 2 groups of people, 1) tries to figure it all out with models 2) other, engages in speed chess, 5 min games
by and large, grand masters did speed chess, not the ones that thought it all through
something happens in speed chess, that you are able to integrate the board in your head, that you don't even realize what you're doing
don't expect hackers to understand what they do, they just have instincts to indwell in that space
open source community, want to write codes so that others can learn from it..
mit - open community, conversation, open construction
we don't think much about deep tinkering
how do you develop a gut feeling.. an intimate familiarity with the knowledge in hand
maybe it's deep tinkering that unfolds this indwelling.
not man as knower, not man as maker, but man as player
nuance of it is this freedom to fail fail fail again, fail fast, and then slowly get it rightone characterization of extreme surfers - this
sense of play - play of the imagination
in play - every once in a while you get an epiphany
re-register the world around you
a kid who has an epiphany has it for life
where we spend a tremendous amount of thinking in terms of knowing and making, maybe we need to look at deep tinkering as playing with complex systems that has a sense of immersion in it
deep tinkering, playing at its deepest sense, riddling the system
learning about, learning to be, learning to become
learning to become so that you don't fear change
the value of play is never found in a static state, it's found in becoming, always about the next challenge
how to honor intuition more
how do you let your kids experience a sense of awe, curiosity and a sense of humility
