"Our goal is to ensure that they leave with a better sense that they
can make things when they leave as when they arrived . . .and kids
learn that all things go awry, and every step in a project is closer to
success or gleeful calamity. . . . Failures are celebrated and
analyzed." --Gever Tulley, at TED.

All education should be like this!!!     Watch the TED talk by Gever Tulley.

John Seely Brown, who calls himself the Chief of Confusion and whom many of us prefer to call "Maestro," has created a new YouTube video "Tinkering as a Mode of Knowledge Production." You can watch it on his website. http://www.johnseelybrown.com/
