I'm listening this morning to to the McArthur Foundations discussion on tinkering as a tool for education in the digital age. Very interesting. A good starting point in finding collaborators to build curriculum. I threw up some quick reactions to it on a blog somewhat simplistically extolling the virtues of video games as a paradigm for the future of education.
I'm listening to the speakers. Each of them includes a few themes:
Community and master/follower
Mostly it's a supplementary museum experimental type activity.
Very hard to fit into a public school classroom environment. (OK, lets put them online.)
Getting beyond the classroom
I like the idea of teaching the link between music and science.
Foss Curriculum - This is an amazing resource which I've heard about a few times. In many ways, it's the raw materials that I'm interested in. Maybe my starting point is an automated curriculum system which leads students thru FOSS and other materials. Classrooms can buy directly their materials from FOSS, homeschoolers can buy homeschool size kids from me.
