It was great to listen to this prolific speaker Dr. Gardner Campbell on 'Deschool, Reboot, Real School' - and he was delivering at UMD his keynote address at the Innovations in Teaching and Learning Conference.
He talked about Doug Engelbart ; one of the person I like and appreciate a lot. Engelbert is known for his mouse, but he has not been able to implement his Knoweldge Society Domain framework well. He still laments on that. In future, given a chance, I intend to meet and disucss with him. Gopika Kannan, my friend and collegue who worked with me on the National Research and Education Development work for India, had met him sometime back. She reports back, Doug is not happy the way his thinking is interpreted. What he is thinking is something very different and unique. It will need to walk thorugh his thoughts several times to learn from his eight decades of experience. Well that is another vision all together in the learing curve of life....
Gardner did a great presentation on what role Information Technology can play in the "deschooled" society.
Follow Gardener Campbell's blog -- there is some great stuff there.
I carry home his three points - Addressivity, Eutrapelia and Real School.
And will visit his 2nd Life project soon...
