The future belongs to nerds, geeks, makers, dreamers,
and knowmads.
KNOWMAD QUALITIES
If knowmads need to be different, why aren’t schools different?
WHAT HAPPENS IN SCHOOL WHAT WE NEEDWHAT HAPPENS IN SCHOOL
It’s all about power.
We learn more, and do so invisibly, when we separate
structures of control that restrict freedom and self-determination
from learning experiences.
The Theory for Invisible Learning
Invisible learning is about reframing structures of control,
placing trust in learners and shifting the flow of power from the
top-down to the learner-out.
