Joy is at the core of the agile experience. A lesson we should never forget. youtube.com/watch?v=efKRLm…

When bringing the Agile culture to education I had to dive deep into its essence. What I found was The Joyful Sandbox. That which unites what Ward Cunningham and Kent Beck 🌻 experienced with a transformation of learning we are now seeing at Dayton. medium.com/@thompson_5050…

Alan Kay coined the term "blue plane". To explain it, he needed to tell a story. A story worth hearing for those seeking to reimagine: bit.ly/kayblueplane

As educators begin to embrace the agile mindset, we suspect that new insights will begin to flow in the opposite direction, back to companies and, indeed, back to software developers. daytonexperiment.com/post/beyond-ed…

While success is not always achieved, that isn't what really matters. What matters is that we step out of our comfort and commit to do the audacious. daytonexperiment.com/post/comfortab…

When we think about building vital and resilient organizations, there is much that we can learn from trees. daytonexperiment.com/post/into-the-…

Wired calls Wikipedia that "last best place on the internet". By inventing the wiki, what did Ward Cunningham see that others didn't? daytonexperiment.com/post/knowledge…

When I introduced the agile culture to K12 educators, the first thing I had to do was to explain it in a simple, clear way – not an easy challenge.

We wonder, might creative thinking, that which is emergent in nature, unlock a new level of imagination, quantum in nature? If so, what might be the implication for how we educate the next generation? Thoughts in a #digitalgarden wellspring.fed.wiki/quantum-imagin…

As we explore more deeply the essence of complex systems that are resilient and adaptive, we appreciate how they must be organic in nature, that is, self-forming, self-healing, and self-creating. #reimaginingeduction #DesignedInGenuity wellspring.fed.wiki/self-healing.h…

For far too many people, the purpose of agile is to increase production efficiency, not creative capacity. Such a shame.

In passing one day, Ward Cunningham mentioned to me 'wiki nature', opening the door to a deeper understanding of the vital essence that birthed Wikipedia. More here: bit.ly/wikinature

At its core, Agile is a learning process, not a production practice – a truth, that for far too many, has been lost. #agileinnameonly

Working with Ward Cunningham is such a joy. I have come to appreciate that there are few in this world who can wield the magic of computing like he can.

As we reimagine education, we can reimagine computing. As we reimagine computing, we can reimagine education. #cultivatingustawi #agileeducation

Yes, Abigail French, it’s by the believing eyes of others that we come alive. wellspring.fed.wiki/believing-eyes…
