A library with artifacts of human creativity and imagination , video the submission of Jay Walker TED , made in February 2008 in Monterey, California, USA, was an indirect indication, via Twitter Obvious (http://obviousmar.org).
Choose the caption at the bottom left of that video.
Jay Walker's speech, that more attention is extremely happy to promote reflection on the need to encourage and promote creativity human.
Walker urges us to say that: "(...)
what is most interesting about Bilbo from Guttenberg and the emergence of this technology is not the book itself. Realize that the book was not stimulated by reading. In 1455 No one could read. So why the press was on? "
then tells about the issue of papal indulgences that promoted incentive technology startup - that has revolutionized the world since then:
"The printing press, (...) was driven by the need to print and forgiveness had nothing to do with reading. "
Ironically, like many other discoveries of humanity that occur beyond its primary objective. If you think about it, the personal computer, the Internet and many other things which turned out to be appropriate, education and society, in purest strains were developed for other activities.
But what draws the most attention in this video is just a preview of called "Library of the Human Imagination," by Jay shown that in fact, he said, it is a room that is a theater, which changes and color is computer controlled, with different objects and different spaces. Literally a living library, thinking, different from what we do with certain association libraries and museums, merely treated as deposits of books and old things, but lack of world soul (anima mundi).
This structure, which contains "the entire history of human imagination and has the design of a drawing by Escher " , according to Walker, sent me the idea of \u200b\u200ba living school, where for every space other than learning, should also exist in addition to a proper time to teach a different space of interaction, because the room story could not resemble in any way to geography, nor with the math and so on. Differentiated spaces require different postures of interaction between teachers and students (no one standard room for all the knowledge that they are different), and for me it is crystal clear and more transparent - than the use or not of electronic whiteboards, etc. datashows -, especially when I watch videos like these, which propose the enhancement of creativity, imagination, interaction between people and things, which the school tradiocinal still needs to be thought, planned and executed properly, not only giving a veneer of modernity, transforming the data show projector in the modern twenty-first century .
Walker instigates more when the audience shows the connections between the human machine and its DNA code Life and mechanical machine, called Enigma, used by the Nazis in World War II, with the sense of Death. The encoding and decoding of such machines, which brings me back to education, the issue of learning and teaching, in which we need as educators to teach codes and decode interests of the students and even educators. After all, every teacher should be in the process of continuing education, be a teacher and being a student ...
Finally, Jay Walker, once again deals with concepts that can promovee a broad discussion in the classroom, the teacher's lounge in the school community.
Speaking of the role of TED, who "has everything to do with drawing the clouds" and that often "see the thing everyone sees, but [they need] to think about them in a way that nobody has thought before." This is called creativity and originality, I say.
And speaking of energy and technology, shows the relationships between coal and the Internet. That a small piece of coal equals one megabyte of information on the World Wide Web and to send or download 200MB of information is needed the equivalent of a big bag of this mineral. That nothing is free in the virtual world and we consume too much energy in our digital connections.
A 7-minute presentation that promotes a variety of discussions and reflections ... To
