John Seely Brown: Tinkering as a Mode of Knowledge Production
This video by John Seely Brown discusses many of the elements at the heart of BCS' Engage program.
- Have to foster the imagination first
- Create - Reflect - Share
- sharing - create peer based learning
- Studio Learning Environment
- multi age learning community
- best way to learn something is to teach it - Kids teach each other
- critique - Need to be open to criticism (from self, peers, and others)
- work in progress is public
- critiques are public
- Tinkering
- with Information
- with Knowledge
- with concrete things
- networked Tinkering with other people's stuff
- you have to test what you build
- authority comes from testing what you build and whether it works and is as good as it could be
- Allows us to bootstrap our own knowledge
- maybe - kids identities will come from what they have created AND others have built on
- Technology
- enables us to build distributed communities of practice
- allow you to create and to remix
