This was the best Learning Adventure because it showed us how allow learners to tackle perceived big, unsolvable, off limits, whole entity problems.
Not sure how to post the artifact as the discussions were lengthy and the collaborative work of our Cadre went above and beyond the normal limitations of classroom “assignments.”
Check it HERE.

Here’s my Reflection on the Comedian in audio-visual form. My main connection is:
Seinfeld’s approach: It’s your job to make the audience laugh just like it’s a surfer’s job to make the waves fun.

I make the point in the presentation that [...]
Here’s my first stab at the music learning adventure with Sibelius 5 First.
The aiff file was too big to upload to Wordpress so I edited and compressed in Final Cut and posted to Vimeo. Sibelius seems to be favored as a music scoring software so I accompanied the composition with some photos I’ve taken for [...]

“People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid.”
