youtube

todays convo with Jim
incredible ride to and from denver to hear Anya

we were both keen on talking youtube and video logging, on learning, innovating, immersing in a 3d documentation (per chris anderson, roger schank, bernd/emergent)

so Jim's idea - start using how to videos (how to whatever - per choice) and the response videos..
instead of kids logging, have them make response videos... or comments

we're thinking perhaps jan smith's son's help with bowdrill set is an exemplar - which i don't see video response on there.. but tons of comments..

we're thinking if we do this within facebook - where the crowd is - we'll get more input, esp people helping us with our thinking on this.

we're pumped.

funny how kids in the lab, that finally get they are free to do things like that, come in everyday or leave everyday saying... i just want to learn everything. it's like - they had no concept of learning before. so much is compliancy, so little is immersion into their own curiosities..
look at them having fun.. let's do more of that.

just as i'm finishing this - i find this in my email - dean's video for alec - and his post about it.. very much the same thing.
i think kibitizing around- is what it's all about.. that's the deep tinkering we're after - that immersion into tacit knowledge. just in time learning per choice, swimming in fun and joy.
