what is the deal can't the make anything that takes craftsmanship anymore.
I recall your saying this blog is to educate. Yet, you don't allow comments and your post are becoming infrequent.
Please explain.
I am paraphrasing a great scholar re: education
"Those who educate safely proceed in such a way that their first-order beliefs (about excellence, motivation, ability, intelligence, teaching, learning, academics, school and the so-called 'real world') are never called into doubt. They begin with an assumption that they know a great many first-order things to be true, and for them, education essentially involves a search for principles and practices that would justify and apply these beliefs. Those who educate with risk, on the other hand, expose these first-order beliefs to the perils of inquiry. WHY ART? Why Bleno? Why art glass?

Starting from scratch
If you are interested, create a learning environment from scratch that would bring to life what you understand is essential in education. Include:
Intent - What is the intent? Is this different from an aim? How does it take into account: subject matter, student, teacher?
Resources - What are the basic ingredients? What is the relationship of these to the intent?
Organization - What is the context / environment and how is it organized? eg. furniture, seating, etc. Is prior knowledge / skill necessary?
Reflection - What is the connection of observational feedback to the intent?
Can learning environments be designed to be different from the transfer of known information, known understandings or known frameworks?
What is your burning question regarding education / teaching / learning to which you really don't have an answer?
.
Make one claim about the nature of learning and one about what teaching is not.
Send us what you come up with.

"Teaching is entombed in myth. They are available in every film about teaching, in all the popular literature, and in the common sense passed across the generations. A sample:
Good teachers begin with the curriculum they are given and find clever ways to enhance it.
Good classroom management is an essential first step toward becoming a good teacher.
Teachers learn to teach in colleges of education.
Good teachers are always fun.
Good teachers always know the materials.
Good teachers are good performers.
Good teachers treat all students alike.
Good teaching can be measured by how well students do on tests.
A good teacher knows what's going on in the classroom.
All children are above average.
Kids today are worse than ever before.
"The old patterns of thinking with regard to teaching and freedom and order have been taken away from you. Therefore you are looking at problems differently. The difference is that your mind is now free to look, free to examine the issue of freedom and order. Now how will you convey to the child that you are not going to punish him, not going to reward him and yet he must be totally free and orderly?
Because you are free and understand freedom, you will be punctual in your class and from freedom you will talk to the student and not from an idea. To talk from an idea, a formula, a concept is one thing, but to talk from an actual fact which you have seen - that the student must be free and therefore orderly - is totally different. When you as a teacher are free and orderly you are already communicating it, not only verbally but non-verbally and the student knows it immediately.
Once you see the fact that punishment and reward in any form are destructive, you never go back to them. By throwing them out, you yourself are disciplined and that discipline has come out of the freedom of examination. You communicate to the child the fact of that and not any idea. Then you have communicated to him not only verbally, but at a totally different level."
In short Hilary give us great photo, short stoires, new bits of information and expect nothing in return.

Kicked to the curb for too long!
I have removed this blog from my favorites and will not return.
Blogs are supposed to be continuing conversations! Not abandoned for weeks on end.
Hilary
Please give an update.
Your residency at OSU is over?
Did you return to WV?
Were you able to purchase a home - you mentioned wanting to buy a 2 bedroom home in an April post.
Did you find a job near Charleston?
Will you be more active in Blenko?
Is there news about the Collectors group?

To the person who left the comment on education- only too true. By the way - when are you coming to Cleveland? Not a Blenko Blenko comment...
J

Are you working at Blenko?
Any new items at Blenko?

Cleveland? Ugh the higest crime rate in the USA not including Detroit and a dirty city, other than Cleveland Clinic
and a few antique stores there is noting in Cleveland.
BTW am I the only person who failed to understand the discourse on education and the slam to glassdoc for failing to educate us?

This one reminds me of the old Blenko.
Anonymous :
Education is failing in this country.
While I agree with each of your comments, I must ask what is your profession. My guess is you are not an educator, as (a)you have too much passion for learning (b) your sentence structure is excellent and (c) you are not jaded.
Taking Glassdoc to task for not allowing the comments. Well its about time she is told comments are important to the success of the blog.
My comments often had a time stamp containing wrong info but until June they did appear.
Hillary fix the comments.
