)Last time, we dove into innovations occurring inside schools. Let's take a look at the rest of the world, focusing mainly on youth, but also on adults.
We'll start with unschooling, then heard toward informal learning and collaborative sensemaking. With luck, we'll dive into ways to unlock the enormous learning potential out there, replete with new Commons and new business ideas.
With Monika Hardy, Michael Lewkowitz, Shawna Lewkowitz and Jay Cross, let's discuss:
- What's unexpectedly true about learning?
- How is it being practiced? What does it look like every day?
- Where are we on the journey from compulsory education to something new and better?
Here's the trailer of a new documentary about unschooling, and here's the topic in my Brain.
As always, an IRC chat will be available during the call at #yitan. (Not familiar with IRC? Just join us here.)
We tweet as @yitan (and use #yitan as our hashtag). Please follow us on Twitter. This page is on the web here.
