Design and Aesthetics
Aesthetics Matter - Beautiful spaces enhance the souls of the all people alike be they rich, poor, young, or old. Aesthetic beauty is needed for all.
Social Issues - The current model requires that public school is the place to fix social issues. This must be disconnected and family support must be increased.
One must gain the understanding of how issues can affect everyone and by reolving these issues can create quantitative results.
All things fit into a gradation of complexities.
Simple Complex
Sleep - Eat - Bond
Learning is - Learning Should be
Fast Food - 5 course dinner
The learning environment should be a habitat / ecosystem that is organic and diverse.
Current learning environment is like a feed lot (scaleable) or an assembly line (bolt on education).
"The opportunities of the digital age have irreversably disturbed the educational universe."
MIT Website
Feedback - the process of returning part of the output of a circuit, system, or device to the input, either to oppose the input (negative feedback) or to aid the input (positive feedback).
Feedback is self supporting and ever increasing
"What job is the milkshake designed for?"
What job are students designed for? Success? Progress? Having fun?
Schools are improperly integrated, and instruction is uncouple from activities that show success.
Systems Architecture
Interdependence v Modular
Microsoft v Linux
Apple v Dell
Expensive Customization v Inexpensive
School as a Community Center - Become a leader
'Student Centric'
Network Education Model
Technology is the 'invisible tool'
Interface of Capitalism (Cost) & Education (Free)
