OK, getting closer. I went more closely through a bunch of recent messages
here, scanned a few more papers, and thought more about what Seymour Papert
said in his talk, then culled what seemed like the core issues and wrote
down a couple newsgroup charters. How do these sound? (The two new groups
are marked with arrow below.) How close do they hit the mark? Anything
missing? Any good places to apply Occam's razor?
CHARTER/PURPOSE:
-> lugnet.edu (group):
Broad educational issues and meta-topics for teachers, students,
engineers, classroom volunteers, mentors, hackers, hobbyists, kids,
and anyone who wants to learn and pass along to others: re-thinking
school; "learning" vs. "teaching"; resistance to change; the future
of education and how LEGO® fits in; learning how to learn; the value
of playful learning, thinking, and designing; epistemology and
constructionism; common glues which unite educators, hobbyists, kids,
and researchers; other ideas which circumvent rather than patch
current educational systems; etc.
lugnet.robotics (group and hierarchy):
Building, creating, and developing with added technologies: the
LEGO® MINDSTORMS™ RIS, other programmable bricks, vision systems,
bar-code readers, radio controlled units, research sites, microcode /
embedded programming, etc.
-> lugnet.robotics.edu (group):
Learning and teaching with robotics: LEGO® robotics in the
classroom; reuse of old technologies and enabling learning about new
technologies and putting them in viable perspective; collaboration,
synergy, encouragement, and comradeship of many people sharing
unique interests, relevant information, and skills; fusion of
educators, engineers, hackers, hobbyists, kids, etc.
