school of open ignite talk for dml2014
DESCRIPTION
Ignite Talk on School of Open I gave for the MacArthur Digital Media Learning (DML) Conference 2014. Recording at http://dml2014.dmlhub.net/live/ignite-talks-1/ Title: How “Open” is Transforming Communities Abstract: I’m going to talk about how “open” can change lives in unexpected ways. For example, who ever that that open resources could bring running water to a rural school in Kenya? (http://teamopen.cc/kasyoka/) Or science skills to remote island kids off the east coast of China? (https://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/41155) This is the power of “open”, which has been demonstrated time (http://thepowerofopen.org/) and time again (http://teamopen.cc/). These online courses, training programs, and projects are started up by passionate volunteers all around the world as part of the School of Open (http://schoolofopen.org), and they are changing lives. The School of Open (SOO) is a community of volunteers focused on providing free education opportunities on the meaning, application, and impact of “openness” in the digital age and its benefit to creative endeavors, education, research, and more. Anyone can join. I’ll provide incentives and quick list of ways the audience can partake, and to come talk to me after the talk or at the DML cafe session.TRANSCRIPT
