Un tarlo alla gola del Furlo
La gola del Furlo
Ormai vive in disparte il vecchissimo tarlo laggiù nelle Marche, alla gola del Furlo, ma sempre fa un piccolo urlo, se il sabato corro a trovarlo.

Progettare libri non è una cosa da ridere. OK, lo è.
Chip Kidd non giudica i libri dalla copertina, crea copertine che incarnino il libro -- e lo fa con un perfido umorismo. In uno dei più divertenti discorsi di TED2012, egli mostra l'arte e il profondo pensiero alla base della creazione delle sue copertine.

What Teachers Make by Taylor Mali
He says the problem with teachers is What’s a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher? He reminds the other dinner guests that it’s true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach. I decide to bite my tongue instead of his and resist the temptation to remind the dinner guests that it’s also true what they say about lawyers. Because we’re eating, after all, and this is polite conversation.
I mean, you’re a teacher, Taylor. Be honest. What do you make?
And I wish he hadn’t done that— asked me to be honest— because, you see, I have this policy about honesty and ass-‐kicking: if you ask for it, then I have to let you have it. You want to know what I make? I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I can make a C+ feel like a Congressional Medal of Honor and an A-‐ feel like a slap in the face. How dare you waste my time with anything less than your very best. I make kids sit through 40 minutes of study hall in absolute silence. No, you may not work in groups. No, you may not ask a question. Why won’t I let you go to the bathroom? Because you’re bored. And you don’t really have to go to the bathroom, do you? I make parents tremble in fear when I call home: Hi. This is Mr. Mali. I hope I haven’t called at a bad time, I just wanted to talk to you about something your son said today. To the biggest bully in the grade, he said, “Leave the kid alone. I still cry sometimes, don’t you? It’s no big deal.” And that was noblest act of courage I have ever seen. I make parents see their children for who they are and what they can be.
You want to know what I make? I make kids wonder, I make them question. I make them criticize. I make them apologize and mean it. I make them write. I make them read, read, read. I make them spell definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful, definitely beautiful over and over and over again until they will never misspell either one of those words again. I make them show all their work in math and hide it on their final drafts in English. I make them understand that if you’ve got this, then you follow this, and if someone ever tries to judge you by what you make, you give them this.
Here, let me break it down for you, so you know what I say is true: Teachers make a goddamn difference! Now what about you?

Technology Doesn't Teach, Teachers Teach
Education is experiencing a seismic change. The chalkboard and print-based textbook classroom of yesterday is fast becoming the digital-whiteboard and e-book classroom of tomorrow. But as students across the country head back to school this month, the companies charged with helping to implement these changes cannot forget the golden rule: the motherboard and the memory chip will never replace the passion and inspiration of a real-life teacher. Technology doesn't teach. Teachers teach.
