4 Lessons The Classroom Can Learn From The Design Studio Earlier this year, we peered into the work spaces of some of the most inspiring companies working in the creative economy to glean design ideas for learning spaces. Instead of the tyranny of cubes and boardrooms, we found spaces for serious play, dynamic cross-pollination, and cultivated serendipity. It was easy to find inspiration from the Googles, Pixars, and IDEOs of the world; the grass is always greener. In his interview with the Carnegie Foundation, John Seely Brown, scholar and co-author of A New Culture of Learning, suggests that we look for education lessons in the architectural studio. So let’s examine the architectural studio--where we design the places in which we learn, live, heal, and work--to find out what the classroom can learn from these creative environments. 1. From the everyday “Hey, can you take a look at this?” Classrooms, in contrast, typically only display completed assignments like final book reports and dioramas; seldom is the evolution of a concept evident.

'The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas' by Gertrude Stein | All-TIME 100 Nonfiction Books Writing her lover’s “autobiography” proved a witty way for American author Gertrude Stein to detail her own life as Parisian writer, salon host and arts patron. Ostensibly, readers can take in the book, published in 1933, as Stein writing about Alice B. Toklas (which is what the title suggests) or as Toklas “writing” about Stein (which is what the book actually is). Either way, The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas was groundbreaking in its experimentation with form: an autobiography written by another person. Next Black Boy
ThingLink Blog | Get creative with your images Ready to Collect Pyrex? References, Resources, and Fun Stuff — Pyrex Pleasures There's no better time to start collecting Pyrex and vintage kitchenware than the present. After all, neither you nor the dishes are getting any younger! But where do you begin? Guides like Michael Barber's Pyrex Passion series offer boatloads of information, but even he concedes that the ever-increasing demanad for vintage Pyrex items makes the market more unpredictable than the NASDAQ. "People always want to know the resale value," says Barber, but even the published guides can't keep up with the constant shifts in the marketplace. The days of scoring a Lucky in Love casserole — the pattern that trumps all others in the rare Pyrex sweepstakes — at an out-of-the-way antique shop may be long gone, but reasonably priced items, from small lidded refrigerator dishes to cake pans to citrus-stamped glass pitchers, can still be found on Etsy and eBay if you're willing to comb through the listings.

Infographic: How The Poor Spend Their Money Vs. The Middle Class The rich get richer. It’s one of those old mantras that’s tough to really calculate. After all, didn’t everyone’s 401k tank in the last few years? You see that we all spend about the same (proportional) amount on housing, clothing and entertainment. So the next generation, the kids of these families, have different outcomes, too. It just goes to show that, if our priorities are setting up solid futures for the low and middle class, then we either need to free up some percentages in those big ticket unavoidables--the housing, utilities and transportation--or find a better means to support retirement and education elsewhere.
