I missed last week’s bootcamp–which looks very interesting and am sorry that I did.
Relatedly, I ran across a paper published by Aspen Institute on “POWER-CURVE SOCIETY: The Future of Innovation, Opportunity and Social Equity in the Emerging Networked Economy“*
It’s always dangerous to quote things without *fully* reading them, but this part of the summary paper struck me. Joi Ito, head of MIT Media Lab, offered these principles for education reform.
- Resilience over strength.
- Pull over push.
- Risk over safety.
- Systems over objects.
- Compasses over maps.
- Practice over theory.
- Disobedience over compliance.
- Emergence over authority.
- Learning over education.

It feels like these could apply well beyond education reform. Thanks for sharing! The other Eugene and I did a project a few years back around connected learning and ed reform. This is reminding me of what great, cutting edge thinking is happening in that world.
