Thanks for sending this video, I’ve posted it on my classes facebook site.  We are trying a version of this at the university level.

 

I’m partnering with Tatwa Timsina and ICA-Nepal in a course called Global Social Networks.  Jan Sanders is working with me and we are incorporating her social artistry work into the course.

 

This gives me some really great ideas about pushing the course more into self-organizing education.  I seems the role of the pedagogue as guide on the side is applicable here.  

 

I also think the video fits well with Randy’s  reflection on pedagogy of the oppressed  “education is not for the sake of the domestication of the learner, but for the sake of his/her liberation in order that he/she may "...work, and working...transform the world."  

 

180 billion dollars is nothing, but could radically transform our world.

In response to Randy’s observation regarding the new pedagogy, here is an emerging process I just picked up on a TED talk.  I don’t know exactly how it fits in but it is kind of a “Whack on the Side of the Head”.

You have a great responsibility. You do not govern now only your own small, insignificant
existence. You are a throw of the dice on which, for a moment, the entire fate of your
race is gambled. Everything you do [or don't do] reverberates through a thousand destinies.
