Hello Everyone,
Remi: I checked out Third Teacher. I like the idea of giving ourselves permission to fail, and the respect for the process. I watched the Remake Your Class video. I loved how the space transformed. The whiteboard surfaces reminded me of the Dude--our scavenger hunt group used table top whiteboard surfaces and the upright white boards in our exploration of the Dude during our first day at iiE. I loved the note postings on the moveable walls, too.
I also explored the Open Grounds site you offered. It is reminiscent of iiE. I wonder if there are any spaces like this near me (Grand Rapids or Lansing.) I thought the collaboration spaces at the Dude were amazing!
Rachel, I would love to go the the Maker Faire, but I have commitments. I hope I can go another time!
Thanks so much for sharing,
Danna
Glad you enjoyed both those links. I'm both inspired by all the various projects and institutions that are doing "design" work - of various flavors - similar to what we're doing... and, at the same time, slightly concerned that we're always reinventing the wheel... too many people doing the same thing? Glad, on the one hand, that you're learning from these links, and hopeful that we can adopt/adapt/transform our own practices because of their influnece
