Watch as a desperate teacher tries to convert a live classroom experience into an online learning opportunity. 2020 Covid-19 management strategy. If you are here for class, hope you enjoy this. If you are just finding it on your own, PLEASE be kind. This is intended to solve problems in a time of crisis. It should live in a land beyond the reach of petty criticisms of my voice or mistaken pronunciation or differing interpretations that fill up so many comment boxes. Available to all because we need to work together and share resources. Feel free to use or share if this is useful in your own problem solving.

The section at 33:30 is perfect. I'm a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, and have been looking around to see what other professors have done in terms of creating materials during the pandemic and providing them to the public. I haven't seen anyone else put anywhere close to the amount of work into their videos as Matthew Bird puts into his.

THANK YOU! I just checked out your own videos and now feel like a total dolt; I don't understand ANYTHING about electrical engineering!!!!!!!

@@HistoryofID I was just thinking about how I've always been focused on what goes on inside the box, but now that I'm watching your videos I'm paying much more attention to the box.

@@HistoryofID I discovered your videos through one of my students, who pointed me to the video you did on computer case design, and I was instantly hooked and had to watch the whole series. I'm skipping around a bit; I've done weeks 6 and later, am doing week 2 now, and then need to do 1, 3, and 4.

This is the best doc on the Shakers I’ve seen. You so wonderfully captured their essence and beauty while respecting them deeply

Love this lecturer's lectures. Salute Mr Mathew Bird, good work! Thanks for the enrichment & effort! I wish to be a Industrial Designer during my Polytechnic days in the 1990s but Singapore doesn't have such specialized course those days & support. I LOVE design tangible product...I will make a come back to this trade before I die!

Absolutely fascinating. By coincidence, I learnt about the Shaker village from another source just this morning. Must be life telling me to plan a visit.

Hi Matthew, I”m such a big fan. How big ? Well, I’m a stay at home dad in Perth Western Australia. I have two boys, growing up too fast. I will do anything to keep them at the dinner table (iPads are raising my children better than I am) so they are allowed to watch a program at the table, but I get to choose. They hate what I choose, and leave at the first opportunity. Your shaker lecture was the first program they watched to the end, we had a great conversation after about industrial design and we are now working our way through your course. For my part, I hope you post a video on further reading, maybe a book list, please :)

What an amazing comment to receive!!!! I am so glad you are enjoying these! I don;t know how old your kids are, so hard to suggest any books. But ALL of Eric Sloane's books are amazing and sadly becoming forgotten and do such a great job bringing history and tools and ways of doing things from the past back to life in interesting ways with amazing drawing.

That curious drawing reminds me of the drawing in the finale episode of Twin Peaks, imaginative but enigmatic.

In the 5th grade we got the chance to see our shaker campus in upstate New Hampshire, it has inspired me so much more than previously thought, this video just makes me want to go back!!

Your lectures fascinate me and I really like your delivery style! I try to watch at least one video a day but sometimes I binge several. Such great information. Hope you plan on doing this for a very long time!

In a way, it was like leaving children in monasteries, but better because there were both men and women. What a pity they didn't manage to survive as a sort of Protestant 'convent' institution

You could say the people transporting and selling the Shakers goods should be called the 'Movers' for they were the Movers and the Shakers of their creations.

What would the shakers think of your shoes?

Well, they DID love color and used it crazy irreverent ways. So MAYBE they'd be on board?????

The Shaker mindset seems to endure in IKEA in a big big way. there's a similar reverence of raw materials (Ikea frequently puts long paragraphs about the wonders of recycled plastic in their product pages), there's a focus on coming up with interconnected systems that allow for flexibility within one's household (the standardization of Kallax and its endless boxes and baskets of identical sizes, or the infinitely expandable IVAR). In fact my interest in the Shakers largely comes from my fascination with how modern their ideas are. I would say the biggest difference to my eyes is that Ikea does not create anything specialized. Their shelves are often meant to work in all environments, and thus are often stripped of many context specific functionalities that come from something like a Shaker cobblers chair or a dresser for the kitchen.
