It also throws a kick to the groin on the collective thinking habits of the masses.<BR/><BR/>I'm currently working on a project that allows students to, essentially, "explore". My goal is to break the system from within - yes, it's the holy grail.<BR/><BR/>J.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117005533318160902.post-39554215582117303812007-06-12T10:10:00.000-06:002007-06-12T10:10:00.000-06:00The concepts presented in "Learning the landscape"...The concepts presented in "Learning the landscape" and "Helping the learners" resonate well with me. The most transformative learning has taken place in simply exploring, engaging, and being engaged by the landscape. Following trails of discovery to where they may lead, which is often to places uncharted and unexpected. <BR/><BR/>As mentioned, "gaming, handhelds and online activities are all learned by self-discovery." <BR/><BR/> As alluded to, this intuitive sense of "self-discovery" has been deminished in to other areas of learning, particularly the content areas "pushed" in the traditional learning model(s).<BR/><BR/>As we're on the journey of becoming more than knowledge dumps and dispensers of information, and as we're processing with others how to recapture these elements of intutitive self-discovery, how can we help others process and utilize the organic self-discovery experience(s) with elements that have been regulated to textbooks...?<BR/><BR/>Are there elements of 'transition' where educators and others are taught - to get out of the way - and assisted in becoming co-sojournors? A process that helps link 'them' to the native learning processes and helps generate creativity as how to partake in that process with them... <BR/><BR/>I love how Dr. Leonard Sweet in his book Carpe Manana uses the image of "Natives" and "Immigrants." The Natives are those who have/are growing up submersed in this technological-organic-self-discovering-learning-process... <BR/><BR/>Are there ways of acclimating the Immigrants to not only the landscape, but also the Natives who live there?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117005533318160902.post-46379316215653753062007-06-12T09:33:00.000-06:002007-06-12T09:33:00.000-06:00Thanks Roger!I'll check out "Black Swan" soon.

I enjoyed his previous book, "Fooled by Randomness," but this is much better. I think you'd get a kick out of it.
