Videos. Tons of videos.

Yesterday I had the chance to catch up on a couple of videos that Jerry from Maui Makers (and formerly CrashSpace) linked me to in response to my open letter to Thomas Kalil.

The short version:

The long version:

In this talk, Sir Ken Robinson references a paper called “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants” that provides an insightful look into how education should be evolving for the 21st century. The startling thing is that this paper was written 9 years ago. I wonder how much has changed since then…

Entirely unrelated to the education system, but entirely related to the maker movement I posted about on Monday, the CrashSpace episodes of the VIMBY/Scion hackerspace challenge called Take On the Machine were posted yesterday. Head over to the CrashSpace blog to check them out. This was the project I spent most of my free time in August working on. Build details, source codes, and other design documents will be posted to Crash blog soon.
