School of the Future

While it may sound all cutting edge and high tech, the School of the Future is actually a rather grassroots project organized by teaching artists in New York. They are creating an alternative "school" in a public park this summer. Each curriculum developed for the school is an art project.

So, it doesn't necessarily tie in with the other kinds of technology resources we've been sharing on this blog and talking about in class, but the project reminds me of some of the work that Stockyard Institute does (which we'll be discussing in class tomorrow). I'm personally interested in it because of my thesis topic (teaching artists and the relationships between their teaching and art practices). In other words, it's an exciting project and good to know about even if it has nothing to do with Cyberped. Check it out! :)
