Then Me
- Ryan
- Salt Lake City, UT, United States
- I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, and still live here. I became interested in education reform a couple of years ago, before I started this blog. Over the years, my intense passion for learning and ideas has driven me to found the first (to my knowledge) idea school, cleverly named Idea School ;). It's been a long strange journey, but I hope you'll follow along as we get at the heart of what I believe is the purpose behind learning and knowledge: growth.
Please refer to my personal blog for more info on me, at ryansidea.blogspot.com
I saw this the other day. Have you read the book? It has some great insight on education at the back.
ReplyDeleteDo you know how to create videos like this?
I'm reading the book right now! It's great! I'm glad you've read it too. I don't, but I think I should learn how. I'm starting to get really into the idea of creating a video explaining our movement.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Finally, we seem to be recognizing that people are intrinsically motivated to be creative and to problem solve, and that, when we intervene by focusing on external incentives, we get weaken the effect of the intrinsic motivation and get worse results (and less happy people).
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment! It's true that people want to contribute and have their opinions valued. People want to know that they are a part of something important and that their contributions aren't taken for granted.
