As you know, I am 100% with you and total...Roger, <br /><br />As you know, I am 100% with you and totally agree.<br /><br />As you know too, we are attempting almost the exact same thing that you are proposing. We have been at it for 7 months now and it has been a wild adventure every single day. <br /><br />Currently, we have been asked to represent the "out of the box" side to spur change in the government, curriculum and school system. It is indeed tough sledding. I honestly do not think they are capable of changing. It dumbfounds me the lack of innovative thinking in education. <br /><br />But we are on it. We are working on what you are thinking right now. For example, today, we recorded a comedy that was the culmination of months of collaborative and creative hard work. One of my students is a sound engineer, it is what he wants to do with his life, so I have been facilitating many experiences for him, like this one. He has also recorded another student at the school who is a singer songwriter and made an album of originals. She is going to proceed to make a short film in a coffee shop using all of her original songs on the EP as a hook for people to buy her album on iTunes. I am doing my best to get them focused on being professional and developing a serious set of skills. <br /><br />Here is more:<br />http://jakewest.ca/entrepenuer/limbic-media-viatec-and-psii-steering-education-onto-the-forefront/<br /><br />If you are ever in Victoria, BC, please come and check us out.
