1. two aphorisms
1. you learn through doing, so if you want more learning you want more doing; and
2. love is a better master than duty—you want people to engage in things that are authentic to them, things that they love.

2. three attributes 1. the presence of other people is always present;
2. a "Journal" for each learner serves as a place for reflection and assessment of progress; and
3. through its clarity of design, it is discoverable: it can accommodate a wide variety of users, with different levels of skill and different levels of experience.

3. Zoom Interface

Transparency is empowering. Free and open-source software (and content) gives children—and their teachers— the freedom to reshape, reinvent, and reapply.
