x http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/wiki/User:Themsen/RW5 The deterritorialization of educational institutions can also be perceived as a new trend particular to the society of control; as the originally centralized organization of education was too slow to react to trends and new flows of information. This focus on the performance of education as opposed to the disciplinary representation of its institutions has diversified the mode of teaching in finnish schools.

x http://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/why-are-finlands-schools-successful-49859555/?no-ist#comment-1689654102 The decentralization and deterritorialization of the finnish school reminds one of the sovereign society where the foundation of power was based on a symbolic leader without a strong centralized seat of power, where the production of this society was dependent on the taxes (or tributes) of its subjects.

Without a virtual component it becomes difficult to distinguish what is real and what isn’t. When Deleuze mentions disciplinary society he defines it as one of transition, to the new ‘monster’, as Foucault puts it. The society of control is this predicted monster.

x https://www.facebook.com/SerpentAttack/posts/784984781567566 Deleuze’s illustration of the control society’s animal metaphor is the serpent slithering across the power structure. It isn’t a single entity, most likely multiple as its main source of power is information. In the society of control information is a tool for domination and control more than it is for the disciplinary society.

The virtual image of the corporation is a clear-cut image, and so does the virtual image of the cooperate teacher also has to be in order for education to reach its optimum.

The cooperative teaching is one body, where the teachers work towards a unified goal using both of each one's strength.

x http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Am-Confused-About-Many-Things/5109554 Cooperative teaching might be the version of the control society where it spreads from person to person, and corporations may be the manifestation for crowd-controlling masses. Each use homework, or working at a distance, as their ways of observing and affecting subjects even outside their enclosures; teaching merely has a more consistent history of home-work.
