“These talking machines are going to ruin the artistic development of this country. When I was a boy . . . in front of every house in the summer evenings you would find young people together singing the songs of the day or the old songs.”
“Today, you hear these infernal machines going night and day.”
creation culture
highly interactive on a personal level
passive culture
bring themselves
passively consume
“[What we end up with is a] culture where creativity was consumed, but the consumer is not a creator.”
remix is about building on the past
internalizing it and (re)creating it

“It starts to look less like an infectious joke than a new cultural order. These kids aren’t mocking the Numa Numa guy, they’re venerating him. And they’re beautiful to see because they are replicating and spreading his happiness. They are following a ritual that’s meaningful, if not yet venerable. They are learning the dance, lip-singing the song, documenting their performance just so, making it available for the world to see.”

corrosive/corrupting
“In the apprenticeship era, the adult carefully observed learners and corrected them as they went along, giving them tasks they were ready for, and seeing whether they completed them successfully. Observation during the course of task completion combined the functions of formative and summative assessment.
Ongoing, formative encouragement or critique provided feedback to guide the learner through tasks, and the final, summative judgment gave learners feedback on whether the task was successfully completed.”
feedback
mastery
assessment “for” learning
assessment “of” learning
formative vs summative
convergent / divergent
“Convergent thinking is a practical way of deciding among existing alternatives. What convergent thinking is not so good at, however, is probing the future and creating new possibilities.
By testing competing ideas against one another, there is an increased likelihood that the outcome will be bolder, more creatively disruptive, and more compelling. Linus Pauling said it best . . .
“To have a good idea, you must first have lots of ideas.” – and he won two Nobel Prizes.”
extinction
amaze us!
The natural tendency of [education] is to constrain problem-solving and restrict [student] choices in favor of the obvious and the incremental. Though this tendency may be more efficient in the short run, in the long run it tends to make a [student] conservative, inflexible, and vulnerable to game-changing ideas from outside. Divergent thinking is the route, not the obstacle, to innovation.
