“Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.” – Ray Bradbury With two weeks until T550 Madness, we were deep into getting things done with our projects in class today!

Each week before class, we host an informal tinkering session. This week, T550er Rehana introduced us to sewable circuits!🪡🧵✨ Video: youtube.com/watch?v=a6N-yg…

In T550 today, we engaged a thought experiment from Neil Postman and Charles Weingartner's "Teaching as a Subversive Activity" to develop a curriculum entirely of questions that are relevant to learners. These are some of our questions: youtube.com/watch?v=2ljGtC…

We've started sharing our project prototypes! youtube.com/watch?v=MhDWsr…

What Ivan-Illich-inspired peer learning looked like in @HGSE's T550 this week! youtube.com/watch?v=YRLrth…

today in radical ideas from @TFiveFifty: Unschooling by Ivan Illich. why do we go to school? are we subjecting ourselves to unhelpful structures like obligatory curriculums? what if learning was self-directed and teachers were guides instead of gatekeepers to knowledge? 🤔🤔

my roommate and I took a page out of @TFiveFifty / reflections on Gloria Ladson-Billings’ work on hip hop/cultural dialogue/remix and remixed our inspirations on this rainy fall evening. stay cozy, all. #academicrigor

Text, food, needlepoint, trash, games, and beyond: we explored the concept of "remix" in T550 this week.

"Appropriation is bad. But to think critically about history and society and culture and remixing it, is one way to learn." (Blackout poem by T550er Cherry Wu)

every week in @t550 we explore a different theme of learning by creating. this week, our theme is "remixing!" so for my project, i decided to remix da Vinci's The Last Supper...introducing:𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘴, because they too, deserved a seat at the table 😉

In T550 this week, we discussed two chapters—one by Seymour Papert and one by Edith Ackermann—as a way of exploring fundamental assumptions and commitments of constructivist/constructionist approaches to teaching and learning. (Video by TF Iman Rastegari!) youtube.com/watch?v=cKH7WS…

This is how one of my classmates "remixed" the famous @Nike swoosh while sharing some end-of-term inspiration with other classmates during the last class of @TFiveFifty course. Loved it! ♥️🌟 Some courses stay with you for the rest of your life :) #T550 #hgse #imperfect #nike

One of the best things that got kicked out of my system in @TFiveFifty course @hgse was the drive to perfect the conditions before kickstarting a new project. This image from #T550 is now a permanent inspiration while starting any endeavour in life. 😀 @karen_brennan @phaduong
