12 Days Of Ideas #3: More Of Them, Less Of Us

Questions are more important than answers. Do you believe in the idea that when students generate questions themselves and teachers give students the tools, the students will be more invested to use these tools to find the answers to their own questions? But how do we get students to ask the right questions? What are the right questions? Do right and wrong questions even exist? What if we just ask them to find problems, give them tools, and get out of the way? Let students create? Can learning look like this? Listening to Brad Gustafson talk about Creating a Culture of Creativity at TIES 2016 I wondered: How can I do it within the constraints of the current system? How can I empower students more? How can I give them more authentic learning experiences? How do I help them take more ownership of their learning? How do I get out of the way more? Decrease my interference? And then, how do I level all of it up? How do we as a whole? How do we move past the standards-based-mind-numbing-creativity-killing educational system of today? Can we? Can we stop, not just slow down the machine’s momentum? Can we bring it to a halt and steer it in a completely new, unknown, perhaps dangerous direction? What will it take? What will it take to stop fixing the broken standards-based-mind-numbing-creativity-killing educational system of today? What will it take to truly pull the plug? Flip the switch? And… Where will it take us? What if the destination is inconsequential and the journey paramount? Have we been all wrong all this time? I don’t have all the answers, but one comes to mind: More of Them, Less of Us.

Photos of New York City’s Most Dangerous Neighborhood

“Bandit’s Roost,” pictured above, was once considered the most dangerous part in all of New York City.

Jacob A. Riis was a police reporter in 1877 and decided to document the people living in New York’s East Side slum district. His book, How the Other Half Lives: Studies Among the Tenements of New York, was the result of these photographs and was published in 1890.

Head over to Petapixel for more incredible photographs and info on Riis.

I’m Jive. Brooklyn resident, and habitual walker. I live in a tiny apartment in New York & I hate being inside of it (mostly because its small), so I find myself exploring my city with my camera in hand. I love street photography & capturing the different types of people in the city. New York is booming with architecture and beauty so you’ll also find an assortment of City & Landscape photography on my Tumblr.

Elisabeth Welch, the American singer who introduced the “Charleston” on Broadway before becoming a superstar in England, in 1935. Born in Manhattan in 1904 to a Scottish-Irish mother and African American father, Ms. Welch was a favorite of iconic composers Noël Coward and Cole Porter. She was the first singer to popularize the classic Porter tune, “Love for Sale” and it would become a signature song in her career. She also introduced “Stormy Weather” to British audiences and would be so beloved there, she remained for the rest of her life. Ms. Welch, among other career highlights in her 70-year career, was nominated for a Tony award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical in 1986 at age 82, for her role in “Jerome Kern Goes to Hollywood.” Ms. Welch also starred in two films with Paul Robeson, “Song of Freedom” in 1936 and “Big Fella” in 1937. In the comment section, I am linking a fantastic short video (1:56) of Ms. Welch singing “Harlem in my Heart” from “Big Fella” and Mr. Robeson can be seen in the clip.
