Our school system needs to be turned upside down

In school we learn through theory, working on our own and working on abstract problems, but it is the exact opposite we should be doing. We should be learning by doing, in teams and by working on real life problems. And the evidence for this is starting to come in.

In the UK a school project called studio schools have turned the traditional school system upside down. And the result is turning low performance school children into high performance students.

The concept of the studio school – while still a testbed for new ways of teaching, is already spreading, and I cannot applaud this spread enough.

iTunes app store badge for Illustrator

I needed it, couldn’t find it, so made it and am now sharing it: an ia illustrator and svg version of the iTunes app store badge.

Right click choose download link as in the menu.

For the ia illustrator version: app_store_badge.ai

For the svg file version: app_store_badge.svg

Hope you can use it. Made it somewhat easier for me to make custom app store badge designs.

How to set the default ruby with Pik on windows

So after installing Pik – that lets you run multible versions of ruby on windows, I ran into the problem of setting the right ruby version as default. But the solution for this is quite simple:

The default is the first defined ruby version in your System Properties for path. So as an example my path value is set to C:\Ruby187\bin;C:\Ruby192\bin;C:\bin, and in this case ruby 187 is the default.

So if I wanted ruby 192 as my default, all I would have to do is change my path value to: C:\Ruby192\bin;C:\Ruby187\bin;C:\bin

Where to find the path values in Windows Vista:

  1. right click the My computer icon
  2. choose Properties from the menu
  3. go to Advanced system settings
  4. click on Environment variables, and here you can edit and setup your path values.

I hope it helped :-)

Hvad er problemet med vores uddannelses system, og hvad kan vi gøre ved det.

Her er problemet:

Eller hvad med at fyre alle lærene, ansætte nogle bedstemødre, og så ellers lade børnene lære af hinanden?

What makes a good business…

“Business is about taking a bright idea and assembling a team that can turn that idea into a product and bring that product to customers who want to buy it. It’s that simple. And that complicated.” from http://rondam.blogspot.com/2006/10/top-ten-geek-business-myths.html
