First is that I have a new resource coming my way, one of the new iPod Nanos that records video. I want to use this tool to create videos to put on the internet and leverage what I've learned about communication and making things interesting to other people for a project. That project is to include local artists, including students. I have some ideas for helping fellow artists improve their methods outside of art techniques. It's also a bit of a networking effort to possibly find local artists that would be willing to work with me on my goals. If nothing else I may be able to show them how including interesting materials into their art can improve the quality of their art.
Second is that I've realized that my focus on the technology is a hindrance to my efforts right now. With that in mind I'm going to focus more on getting something small going where I can create some good resources on creativity, critical thinking and more skills that some would say are not teachable. Of course, I plan on making those resources free and open, though I do have some monitization ideas for it. Yet, those effort would not change the accessibility of the materials. Instead, they would give me more to use to improve them. Maybe it will also include the "Downes Model" for some of it, though I have no idea how I might right now.
Anyways, the big thing is that by shifting my method, I can possibly get things rolling now and get somebody to help. With this I'm hoping that I might have a better chance at things like the Education Entrepreneur Fellowship run by The Mind Trust. I've entered twice and been unable to get past the first round of the selection process twice. If I'm doing and getting results, then I figure the odds go up that others will help.
Have fun, spread the word and tell me what you think,
