Brainstorming
• Berkun’s Laws:
– Nothing matters if the room is filled with morons or strangers (or both).
– Brainstorming is designed for idea volume, not depth or quality.
– The person leading an idea generation session matters.
– Debate during or after brainstorming…but debate!

Architecting “DO” Education

Dan Meyer

Build a classroom that encourages creativity and retention of information…

“…a transformational teacher treats [a class] like a carefully crafted persuasive essay -with a clear purpose, a unique sense of style, a memorable beginning and end, a logical sequence, important content, nimble
transitions, and contagious passion. (Finley,
T., 2014).”

YouTube Video: Have You Been Paying Attention?

Edu-Blogger:
• “…Has anyone seen this garbage? Students don’t need to remix anything! Educators must teach them to be original, have original thought, and do original work!
Imagine if society worked this way.
• We’d still be hoping someone would invent the rolling stone so as to create a wheel. Imagine a world where using other people’s work to create your own was ok.
• We’d never have gotten past the toaster to see the benefits of the microwave. We’d never have gotten past swing music to experience amazing original works like Elton John’s “The Lion King” or other seminal works…”

Remix, Sample or Steal?
• 1996 - Can You Feel The love Tonight?
• Save tonight, fight the break of dawn, come tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be gone…
• You’re beautiful! You’re beautiful!
• If I could, then I would, I’ll go wherever you will go, way up high, or down low, I’ll go wherever you will go…
• Never mind, I’ll find someone like you – I wish nothing but the best for you too…

Remix, Sample or Steal?
1989 - Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray,
South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio, Joe
McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television, North
Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe…
1989 - Wherever you go – whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you…
1987 - I think we’re alone now, there doesn’t seem to be anyone around…
1984 - We’re not gonna take it, no we ain’t gonna take it – we’re not gonna take it anymore…

Remix, Sample or Steal?
See the stone set in her eyes, see the thorn twist in her side, and I’m waiting for you, with or without you

Remix, Sample or Steal?
1984 - Take on me (YOU: take on me!), Take me up
(YOU: take on me!), I’ll be gone
?????
1981 - Just a small town girl – living in a lonely world
– she took the midnight train going anywhere

Remix, Sample or Steal?
1976 - On your mark, get set, and go now – gotta dream and we just know now
1970 - When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother
Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be
1961 - When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we’ll see
1690?!?!?!
