In her work, a "prepared environment", with materials designed for very specific purposes and in harmony with the natural curiosity and learning stage of a student, is set before them. Not too much. Not too sparse. And they have free choice to follow their interests within the boundaries established.<br /><br />It is a brilliant, enlightened idea which transposes to a way of living. <br /><br />This same wonderful principle should also find itself applied to industrial design. For all I wanted was a VCR that would play, rewind, and turn on and off. But among all the other buttons, I couldn't get it to do a damn thing!K1MGYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16390740057504583816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-82025515710888051482012-10-22T20:23:56.051-05:002012-10-22T20:23:56.051-05:00Floppy recently lost the battle for his girlfriend...Floppy recently lost the battle for his girlfriend with another burro.<br />John Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783305402239706779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-75920116094750556532012-10-22T18:35:53.948-05:002012-10-22T18:35:53.948-05:00this is a little Monday related - just caught a so...this is a little Monday related - just caught a some of the stream & Floppy is looking pretty rough - combat or does he have some kind of hide crud?

"Enabling constraint...LIKE<br />yur philosophy dude<br />"Enabling constraints are about opening possibilities by limiting choices.Very simply put, too much choice is overwhelming. Too little choice is restrictive, squelching learning and creativity. By giving choices in lesson activities and projects within a given structure we are providing enabling constraints."<br />Yu can be Cain # 2 there in the desert and by sure many -me included- will attend yur sermon and Church, if founded one...that might be yur path out of that man xxx<br />Need yu as my Pastor .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-70032652724551395102012-10-22T11:54:24.398-05:002012-10-22T11:54:24.398-05:00Do the best you can with what you've got.Do the best you can with what you've got.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993416765925362476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-91319906777363897292012-10-22T07:08:07.224-05:002012-10-22T07:08:07.224-05:00Well said my friend.

How exciting to..."enabling constraints"!! How exciting to have a name for the phenomenon. Been mulling over limitation as a manner of sparking/focusing creative inspiration for a long while without being all the aware of it until I saw an interview with rocker Jack White espousing exactly that a couple years back. Not that I'm a huge fan of his results, but the still - it works.
