    Hi Mr. Interiano, thanks for sharing. Would this be for K-12 schools or for colleges and universities?

    Do you really get inspired to stand up and do something because someone on your computer tells you to? Sounds to me like you just didn’t have the right teachers… Real teachers stand in front of you, they talk with you – not to you. A Socratic method of teaching has shown time and time again to be one of the best methods. Personally, I like associating myself with living, breathing people rather than sitting at a computer (as i sit here typing this…)

    But, Jason, the status-quo, teacher in front of the class, model IS failing. There need to be more options. Young people might be inspired by people in real life work/civic/church relationships if they weren’t strapped to a desk for such long periods of time. They would be more comfortable building relationships with all ages and types of people if we didn’t stick them on the conveyor belt at age 3 or 4, in a classroom which looks nothing like the real world.
