The purpose of Education.

I like the quote above. What's better? An open mind or one which is rigid and inflexible. I would aim to have an open mind. I have been researching self directed learning, research and related subjects for quite a few years now. When I was growing up, the internet and social media did not exist. I did not know that home education was legal during my high school years. I grew up in the UK. I had moved to the USA for 16 plus years too. I am back in the UK at present.

I am impressed with the UK Home Education regulations. They are very flexible. I have had discussions with people, regarding home education. These people were educated through traditional brick and mortar schools. It was no point in me having these discussions as these people were not open to hearing about the benefits of home education. It's ok. I do not need validation. My research has provided me with the truth I need. One of the arguments for traditional schools is the socialization factor. The detractors don't realize that home educated students meet with other home educated students and they converse with older people too.

Here is a link to a PDF I had typed up on the purpose of education.

My Facebook page for DIY-U.

I have recently opened a Facebook page and a Facebook group for DIY-U. I believe in the power of social media as a learning platform. I will write more about this topic in future posts. I hope Google re-start their social media vehicle. Let's see what transpires. Here are the links to my Facebook page and my Facebook group for DIY-U. https://www.facebook.com/diyuniversity https://www.facebook.com/groups/336377653643535/ The Facebook group for DIY-U is a closed membership group. Just send me a request to join and I will then add you as a group member. I am impressed with some of the features these groups give to page admins. They allow page managers to place documents into the page and they have other useful features too.

WCK 7 Wearable chain keyring 7 updated demo.

Here is an update for one of my creations, WCK 7 : Wearable chain keyring 7. http://www.schooloftheremoteinfluencer1.com/2023/02/wck-7-wearable-chain-keyring-7-updated.html This is an example of the DIY maker movement in action. WCK 7 is made up of industrial goods connected to each other. There are 10 pieces that make up this unique and useful product. In the video below, you can also see the neodymium magnet that's connected to a hexagonal nut. The keyring can be placed onto this end piece as you can see in the photo below.

Research connections with regulations.

Here is a link to a PDF file I had written up on the connections I had made with research and regulations. I had analyzed secondary data in order to come up with some unique ideas relating to regulations etc. You are welcome to share and to download the PDF. I hope that the PDF file triggers new ideas for you. If you read about inventions, you will see that new inventions are basically improvements and / or modifications on existing ideas. Or they can be combinations of ideas. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JqQiz7LGsHGNDJ3NNDRwbFp8EoE3PiBl/view?usp=sharing
