Summary: We make no claim to know everything. But what we do know is there is change happening in the education system, both good and bad, and the options are limited but simple: You can either fight it or you can figure out a way to positively affect that change. Adam and Patrick sit down to discuss not just some of the changes that are currently happening and why, but also to discuss how and why we here at Making Comics Worldwide plan on being part of that change.<br> To some our goals may seem lofty. To us, it’s an opportunity to assist in making a difference and learning in an artistic and creative manner. Click play or download this week’s Gutter Talk episode to understand why we feel that is so important and worth the effort.<br> <br> <a href="http://www.makingcomics.com/rd/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/podcast-28.jpg?x32107"></a><br> Interesting Links:<br> <a href="http://www.theheadcomic.com/" target="_blank">Patrick Yurick</a>‘s Portfolio (Follow him <a href="http://www.twitter.com/patrickyurick" target="_blank">@patrickyurick</a>)<br> <a href="http://www.brokenairplane.com/" target="_blank">Broken Airplane</a><br> <a href="http://www2.ed.gov/pubs/NatAtRisk/risk.html" target="_blank">A Nation at Risk</a>, article Patrick mentioned<br> <a href="http://www.adamngreenfield.com/" target="_blank">Adam Greenfield</a> (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/sdgreeny" target="_blank">@SDGreeny</a>)<br> Also Interesting Links:<br> The artist <a href="http://www.elchikle.com/1979.html" target="_blank">Chikle</a><br> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabula_rasa" target="_blank">Tabula Rasa</a><br> <a href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2011/10/teenage-brains/dobbs-text" target="_blank">“Beautiful Brain” an article on updates to neuroscience on the evolution of the teenage brain put out by National Geographic Magazine</a><br> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs" target="_blank">Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs:</a><br> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs" target="_blank"></a><br> Further Readings:<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Make-Road-Walking-Conversations-Education/dp/0877227756" target="_blank">“We Make the Road By Walking: Conversations On Education And Social Change” by Myles Horton & Paulo Friere</a><br><br> <a href="http://www.makingcomics.com/rd/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/51Ee7sb9NNL.jpg?x32107"></a><br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pedagogy-Oppressed-30th-Anniversary-Edition/dp/0826412769" target="_blank">“Pedagogy Of The Oppressed” by Paulo Friere<br><br> </a><a href="http://www.makingcomics.com/rd/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/41OtPGPAMuL._SY300_.jpg?x32107"></a><br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/More-Secondhand-Art-Peter-London/dp/0877734828" target="_blank">“No More Secondhand Art: Awakening The Artist Within” by Peter London<br><br> </a><a href="http://www.makingcomics.com/rd/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/download.jpeg?x32107"></a><br> <a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.preservenet.com/theory/Illich/Deschooling/intro.html" target="_blank">“Deschooling Society” Ivan Illich<br><br> </a><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="http://www.makingcomics.com/rd/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/books.jpeg?x32107"></a><br> Videos to check out:<br> “The Tribes We Lead” by Seth Godin<br><br> <br> “Did You Know?” by Karl Fisch & Scott McCloud<br><br> <br><br> Intro & Outro Song:<br> “RetroFuture Clean” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/</a><br> Outro Song Behind Vocals:<br> “Backed Vibes (clean)” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 <a href="http://creativecommons."></a>
