Frequently Asked Questions Have you ever considered traveling into the past but were afraid potential embarrassment because once outside of your current temporal technological comfort zone you might not know as much as you thought you did? What sorts of things will be taught at TTU? What do you mean by 'Basic Technologies" What age group is your instruction aimed toward? This is crazy! Why are you doing this? Do you have some kind of diabolical plan to get kids interest in learning and save our educational system? This is great! Can I be part of it? How will TTU provide instruction. Is this what your website is really going to look like? It's kind of crappy. WTF is your motto supposed to mean? What sorts of things will be taught at TTU? Initially we'll be concentrating on basic technologies and history. Back to Top What do you mean by 'Basic Technologies" Basic technologies begin with Fire. First off starting a fire, then onto ovens for baking, higher temperature configurations for firing clay and making plaster, and then even higher temperatures for working with metals. A partial list include agriculture, animal husbandry, textiles,glass making, food preservation, first aid, metallurgy, engineering, plumbing, woodworking etc etc etc Back to Top What age group is your instruction aimed toward? Children of ALL ages. Back to Top This is crazy! Why are you doing this? Mahatma Gandhi said: "Learn as if you were to live forever". We feel that learning is never a waste of time. That learning about what we as people were able to accomplish in the past brings us closer to understanding where we are today. That approaching something from a different perspective can help inform our understanding and appreciation of what it means to be human. Back to Top Do you have some kind of diabolical plan to get kids interest in learning and save our educational system? Yes Back to Top This is great! Can I be part of it? Yes you can be part of this. Back to Top How will TTU provide instruction. Through a variety of channels. First off through video courses that students can access through the site. Secondly through books and instructional packages that teachers can integrate into their classroom curriculum. Third through hands on field trips and travel programs And finally we're working with feudal lords to open up a campus at an abandoned monastery in 12th century fance Back to Top Is this what your website is really going to look like? It's kind of crappy. The actual website when we are up and running will need to do a variety of things. It will need to be a easy to use and robust platform for Video viewing (like TED.com). It will have to have an easy to navigate course catalog and should have both Forums and social networking for students, staff and supporters to communicate with each other. We need help here. Back to Top WTF is your motto supposed to mean? It should mean "Prepared to travel in time" but I'm pretty sure it's nonsense. We should fix that. Back to Top |Welcome| |Contact Us| |FAQ| |Jobs|
