I’m going to come back to this amazing little manifesto later, but I wanted to get it out to everyone I know without waiting for my little brain to catch up. The ten bullet points:

1. “Playing Small Does Not Serve the World.”
2. What Would Socrates Do?
3. Nobody Cares if You Walked Up Hill Both Ways Barefoot in the Snow.
4. Got Passion? If Not, I’ll Tell You What To Care About.
5. My Memory Is Only As Big As My Heart. Otherwise, I’ll Stick with Google.
6. Look it Up or Die.
7. Collaboration Ain’t About Holding Hands. It’s about Going Cool Places Fast.
8. This Will Go Down on Your Permanent Record.
9. It Ain’t About the Technology. It’s About Being Inside the Story.
10. Nobody Knows the Answer. Get Comfy with the Questions.

The whole thing made me a little giddy and excited and wanting to shout “three cheers!” It also pissed me off a little. Most importantly– and what good timing– it provokes me to ponder what it’s all about and hunger to get back into the classroom.

In the meantime I’ll steal– I mean remix and mashup– a bunch of it in some future presentations.
