The why.

This site was originally created by Scott to share his solutions to the social and emotional needs of students. The graphic above was created to express his belief that the world is filled with problems and needs which can be solved by thoughtfully making connections that lead to outside-the-box solutions. Now, Scott is using it...well...as a digital sandbox. ;-)
Apex...the peak, the pinnacle. Mind works as the new iron works of old where one would go to build, fix, or create things. The A is obvious. The dots perhaps less so. They represent problems inside the visible box. The lines represent the connections between these problems. The final dot outside the box reflects one creative solution that impacts multiple issues or problems. One solution to fix many problems. Synergy. Efficiency. Effectiveness. Originally, the logo and this site were created to showcase MinderSuite, aka eVillage; a collection of apps focusing on student SEL, positive portfolios, student safety, and school culture. Minds unboxed. Ideas unboxed. Is there any question that there are many issues, barriers, or problems in the world? Is there any shortage of talk about issues, barriers, or problems? What there is a shortage of is ideas about how to connect many issues that can be addressed with one solution. Let's unbox our minds to find those ideas and solve multiple problems at one time. Most likely, you are here because Scott led you here. Is this site necessary? Scott would tell you he’s not sure but would add that there is the potential for a stronger initial connection by sharing more about how he thinks. In short, this site is a trial balloon released to see where the wind takes it and makes of it. ;-) |
