Notes from the reading
* Making things and then making those things better is at the core of humanity (p.7).
* Knowledge does not result from receipt of information transmitted by someone else without the learner undergoing an internal process of sense making (p. 17).
* Neli Gershenfeld described the next technological revolution as one in which users would make the tools they need to solve their own problems (p. 28).
* Making lets you take control of your life, be more active, and be responsible for your own learning (p. 33).
* Making is a stance that puts the learner at the center of the educational process and creates opportunities that students may never have encountered themselves (p. 33).
* Making is the universal infrastructure of production (p. 35).
* Making is a type of applied thinking that sits at the core of creating new knowledge of all kinds, and the sensibilities of making should actively be made a part of our future (p. 35).
* The power of making is that it fulfills each of these essential human needs (p.38).

Questions
- How can we lead our making to active creation and invention rathe than passive consumptions (p.33)? What kind of pedagogies can let students to be "makers"? What other educations would align with this "making" education that taken as "problem-solving"?
