Ed Zed Omega - Reimagining Education

This public media "authentic fiction" sought to crowdsource perspectives about education today. The Zed Omega teens, played by actors, "dropped out loud" from high school -- catalyzing open discussion about the structures and purpose of traditional education and its alternatives. The arc of each Zed Omega character was unscripted: they responded to ideas that people presented. The collaborative thought experiment and "interactive documentary" was live on social media during fall semester 2012. (-Learn more-) (-Credits-) (-Facebook-) (-Twitter-)

On School and Socks

What motivates me in subjects? Well I think the subjects need to be interesting or a teacher makes it more entertaining to learn. My favorite subjects in school was english because they had a read and write, and those were things I actually enjoyed. I remember freshman year I had government with this teacher and I hated social studies (still do) but she actually made the class fun. Other then that the only other thing that kept me motivated was the fact that my parents would take my keys away. But now I pay for everything so it doesn’t matter  – Nicole
