“Learning is what you do to yourself, education is what others do to you”
“You can learn without a formal system of education”
When you can communicate at nearly no cost, it opens the door for incredibly communication and collaboration
It costs almost 0 to try something new
Creative Learning is About…

The Principles Shared by Ito:
- Resilience over strength
- Systems over objects
