    "More than one-third of the world’s population is under 20. There are over 30 million people today qualified to enter a university who have no place to go. During thenext decade, this 30 million will grow to 100 million. To meet this staggering demand, a major university needs to be created each week" (1996). Related post.

    "When we voyage, and I mean voyage anywhere, not just in canoes, but in our mind, new doors of knowledge will open. and that's what this voyage is all about . . . it's about taking on a challenge to learn. If we inspire even one of our children to do the same, then we will have succeeded." "Our ancestors sailed across a vast ocean, one third of the earth's surface, and to accomplish this great feat they needed the vision to see islands over the horizon, the ability to plan intentional voyages of discovery, the discipline to train physically and mentally, the courage to take risks, and a deep sense of aloha to bind the crew together during the voyage. These are Hawaiian values but they are also universal values. They worked in the past and they will work today" (Polynesian Voyaging Society and Georganne Nordstrom, "Nainoa Thompson: In Search of History," Horizons, 1999).
  • Seymour Papert

    "The alternative to envisioning the future is getting stuck in the present. At the moment, we are squandering resources, attempting to use new technologies to solve the problems of school-as-it-is instead of seeking radically new opportunities to develop school-as-it-can-be" (Seymour Papert and Gaston Caperton, in Transforming Learning Through Technology: Policy Roadmaps for the Nation's Governors, Milken Family Foundation, 1999).
  • Paulo Freire

    "I am appealing to all of us who have escaped cognitive death by school -- who are the survivors here -- to work on modifying it. For me, the challenge is not to end school, but to change it completely and radically . . . . So I keep fighting in the hope of putting school on the level of its time. . . . We learned before teaching. . . . The name ["school"] doesn't matter. What matters to me is the determined space and time where determined tasks are accomplished. Social historical and political tasks, not only individual ones. . . . The two main tasks of the school: to get the already known knowledge and to produce the knowledge not yet in existence" (In Seymour Papert's "The Future of School," transcripts of a late-1980s Sao Paulo, Brazil, TV broadcast).
  • John Dewey

    "A democracy is more than a form of government; it is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. The extension in space of the number of individuals who participate in an interest so that each has to refer his own action to that of others, and to consider the action of others to give point and direction to his own, is equivalent to breaking down barriers of class, race, and national territory which kept men from perceiving the full import of their activity" (Democracy and Education, Macmillan, NY, 1916).

Doodle – A Simple Way to Schedule Meetings

Rec’d an email request to fill out an online meeting scheduler from Louise Tsuneyoshi (see the message below). I clicked on the link and completed the poll by inserting my preferences. It’s simple, quick, intuitive. To set up your own poll, click on the Doodle logo on the left. This will take you to the main Doodle page. For instructions on how to set up a scheduling poll, click on “How Does Doodle Work.” Or simply click on “Schedule an event” to begin setting up your poll.

Re: 2008-2009 Catalog on the Web

Hi all!

Louise would like to meet with you for about an hour to discuss putting the 2008-2009 catalog on the web.

Yahoo! I’m trying out a new program “Doodle” to assist in scheduling meetings. Hope it works!

Please enter this link: http://www.doodle.ch/xxxxx

1. Scroll down to the bottom
2. In the text box “Your name,” type in your first and last name
3. Click on ALL the dates/times you are available
4. Click on “Participate”
5. Close

An email will be sent to you to confirm this meeting. If not, we’ll have to start all over again…….

Thank you,
Lou

Hi Jimmy, Cheryll Aldridge ran a workshop on Doodle and it’s becoming a popular tool on campus. What a godsend, eh? She’ll be hosting more hands on workshops on Doodle, RSS feeds, and other cool technologies throughout the summer. Check out her Laulima site. Thanks, mary
