Hi Again,
I probably should have posted this a few days ago, but I wanted to discuss our school -2.0. When I first heard about our assignment in designing this school I was kind of lost. I was bewildered when I read the first stipulation of our assignment--a school not grouped by age? I immediately struggled to picture such a situation. Then I heard the next requisite-a teacher not in charge? What? I began to think that maybe they won't even need teachers in the future. Then I heard--children not required to attend? I felt as if I chose the wrong profession. No teachers, no schools, no world. Will we all just sit at home in the future and live and work out of our homes?
The graph is not that visually endowed, but either will our new school be. In fact there won't be no school--just kids and their computers. There won't be anyone there because kids don't have to attend. Who knows what our world will look like 20 years from now. Hopefully, we'll still be here. I'm just kidding. It is interesting to think about the future. Still, nothing compares to having a real human being answer your question, and instructing. Please computers, don't take my career away from me.

I felt the same way upon approaching the assignment as well, Ian--you sort of hope you are not jobless in a year or two! I guess though, that we have to view technology as a tool to make our jobs easier rather than an enemy though--I think the tools like engrade and mypodcast.com, etc. certainly help do that. The concept of no set school though and no set teacher is scary though...students are going to have to motivate themselves--another scary thought!
