DISRUPTION

“When a 14 year old kid can blow up your business in his spare time, not because he hates you but because he loves you, then you got a problem.”


What do we do with this?

Chris Avenir

Ryerson University sites 3 reasons for the case against him.

1.Learning should be hard.

2.There is no structure of regulation for online behavior and that makes it incompatible with academic work.

3.It is our job to protect academic integrity from any threat.

i.e. Unless learning is hard and is directed by others, it fails to meet the standard for academic rigor.

Feel-Bad Education The Cult of Rigor and the Loss of Joy by: Alfie Kohn !

"Why are our schools not places of joy?"







I’m appearing to accept an odious premise—namely, that joy must be justified as a means to the end of better academic performance. Not so: It’s an end in itself.

#Joy, Awe and Wonder

"The pursuit of happiness is not a solitary goal," said James Fowler, a researcher

at the University of California, San Diego. "We are connected, and so is our joy." The study, published in December 2008 in the British Medical Journal, suggests that living near a friend who becomes happy increases the probability of a person becoming cheerful by 25 per cent.

You know it when you See it

“Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Stryrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.” Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten

“We Have Responsibility to Awe”

Daily moments of joy
