“education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world” — Paulo Freire
Experimenting with education, live, is one of the scariest, most exciting and crazily exhilarating rides I’ve thrown myself into. Incredibly scary when you consider that I’ve taken just under 200 teaching students into the deep end with me. Wildly exciting when you realise that we are running where others fear to tread – and doing so while looking everywhere at once. Add to that the insane exhilaration of flipping your university classroom for the first time, and you’ve got one heck of a rush.
This blog forms part of the class experiment. I hope that it will become one of the main supporting structures of our multimodal class…-room space. The collaborative hub of it all, if you will.
One way to find out!
Let’s go!
