Creativity: design in the making

Do schools kill creativity? (Sir Ken Robinson, TED Talks)






I hope you like this one as I do! I think this one speaks to all of us in this class, don’t you think?

DESIGN for today and tomorrow">DESIGN for today and tomorrow

A Vision of Students Today (Michael Wesch)

So what do you think?

Design 2.0: Design what?

Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us (Michael Wesch)

I would like to think that you have heard of Web2.0 technologies. If you haven’t, that’s ok. Do a quick google and read about Web 2.0 technologies. You may also want to read about ‘Learning 2.0′, ‘Teaching 2.0′ and ‘Classroom 2.0′. With all these, what would ‘Design 2.0′ be?

From print-based text where you move your eyes TO moving text (with less eye movement in reading perhaps?), what kind of design is 2.0 for CONTENT and CONTEXT?

What's in it for me?

I hear hesitation, but more loudly a willingness to try and that's all I ask - an openness to other possibilities, to something new and perhaps strange. That's how we learn. A discovery. I am so excited. There is serious work ahead, but I hope we can have fun too!
