Books:
- Michele Boldrin, David K. Levine: Against intellectual monopoly (also on the web).
- Anya Kamenetz: DIY U (I have read it, but not with thought: I didn't make notes to pick up the most relevant arguments and success stories etc.). (An excerpt, The official blog)
- The Edupunk's Guide to DIY Credential. (Finished 10.9.2011)
The thing is not only to read the books but make summaries from them to quickly recall the most relevant content.
TED talks and other high-quality videos:
- Johanna Blakely: Lessons from fashion's free culture
- Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?
