On April 29 at 9 pm, I’m doing a call with the members of the Evolver Social Movement (a very cool website/network you should definitely check out.
They’ve also posted an edited and recustomized excerpt of DIY U on their site, Reality Sandwich:
The whole project of formal education has been historically based on the idea of society transmitting its ideas, values, and technologies from one generation to the next, and from dominant civilizations and cultures to “backwards” or “primitive” ones. In the modern era we added the task of making and incorporating new discoveries into the curriculum year after year. As our society got more complex, we developed bigger and bigger institutions to teach more and more people more and more things.
