Never standing still, always thinking
Can flexibility release inflexibility?
Can structure(s) get in the way? They do serve a purpose… but whose?
What about flexible structures? What makes a flexible structure flexible?
Do we need to remember that we are all different? Flexibility means different things to different people. How can we make it work?
Does the answer lie within us? How can we grow?
structure gets in the way
Do we all want the same stuff and should we not learn to love what we don’t like? What if there are real barriers?
What we want our students to learn> how we achieve this> how do we know that they have learnt what we want them to learn >>> what about what our students want to learn?
Cross-disciplinary designing for learning: what does matter? Is wearing our food really bad for us?
Honest conversations and opening up to new possibilities, new thinking, un-thinking!
Questioning, making new discoveries!!! Thank you all!
sit down and reflect, not on your own
why hide?
taste, feel, see, listen, smell – experience!
the world is not going to fall on you
love what you do and do what you love – learn to love and love learning
Open your window! Open your eyes! Open your mind!
Don’t give up! Go for it!
Warning! When I started this photostory, I was thinking about our LTHE session. Then something happened and thoughts about the session started mixing up with other recent events, episodes and conversations and my story started taking me to different places. My messy thoughts were guiding me to capture what you see here and the messages that I try to express through the images and captions. Looking at it now, I am not sure if this is even remotely connected with our session and will try at the end of the week again to put something more focused together. In a way, I think the story works at different levels for me. How about you? What are you taking away from this story? Can you see anything that is somehow linked to our Tuesday session?
... there was Ant
Ant wanted to discover the world...
... to become one with the world
But Ant didn't know how. Ant was afraid... avoided the light.
... avoided the wasps...
One morning Ant said:
I want to be a tiger...
... a whale...
... a hawk...
But then, Ant looked in the mirror and knew this would never happen. Ant asked: Why do I want to be somebody I can never be? Time stopped for a while. Then Ant woke up to a new world...
Ant looked up. Now he could see the light through his own eyes and started discovering the world - finally!
... we are lost
worlds clash
we go around and around and around
nowhere, nothing, nobody
Where is it?
Learning spaces too - they are everywhere! But why do we 'forget'? Do we really forget?
Anybody out there? Anybody listening? What about you?
Great opportunities for borderless learning! Can you see?
Distractions are everywhere! But can they be useful for learning? Think! Unthink! Rethink!
Relax, play and discover! Have fun too! Is having fun a bad thing?
It is ok, more than ok, to go the other way! Try it!
It never stops!
Sitting down. My eyes and my mind wander...
What is out there?
Where am I going? Where are you going? Where are WE going?
Nowhere, anywhere, everywhere - it is up to US!
New beginnings, how can we melt the snow?
Joining paths? How can we make this happen?
We need to learn to give, to share a bit of ourselves first.
We need to accept and respect each other to grow, together.
The snow has started melting. I can feel it, can you?
a place to rest...
and to travel
to taste and digest
to play and have fun
to think and reflect
to hear our own voices
and have conversations
to stop for a while and move on again
to be upset and wrong and admit it
to be excited and discover
to share
to change and transform
What could it be?
Feeling down?
Going nowhere?
Trying to balance?
No escape?
Tried everything?
Reach out! Try again!
Knit your net!
Grow - together!
