Hi everyone, First, I want to let you know that I had a great time at our conference this year, despite all the blogo-grumblings to the contrary. Meeting up with many of the educators in the python community is one of the many reasons why.
I mostly lurk on this list, but it occurs to me that I should be sharing more of my work here. Here is a model I have been working on for a while that captures some of the conversation I got into with educators this weekend: http://jonahboss.fastmail.fm/wikimania/wikimania_poster.pdf and it's elaborated on here: http://jonahboss.fastmail.fm/wildwildwiki/chap2_wiki_justice_final.doc and will soon be published in the forthcoming U. of Mich anthology on wikis in education: Wiki Writing:Collaborative Learning in the College Classroom I've also been writing alot about the OLPC project: Two academic essays: Plato and the Laptop: Prescribing Educational Technology for Society’s Ills <http://pocketknowledge.tc.columbia.edu/home.php/viewfile/18940> Free Laptops: Creating, Producing and Sharing a Revolution <http://pocketknowledge.tc.columbia.edu/home.php/viewfile/18259> A slideshow presentation: http://jonahboss.fastmail.fm/presentations/teach_think_play2007/html/ttp2007_olpc_bossewitch.html and some (hopefully) positive and constructive posts for OLPCnews: Have Faith in One Laptop Per Child Miracles <http://www.olpcnews.com/implementation/plan/have_faith_in_one_la.html> Portable Culture Machines <http://www.olpcnews.com/content/education/portable_culture_mac.html> OLPC Personalization Stickers <http://www.olpcnews.com/implementation/plan/olpc_personalization_stickers.html> OLPC Leadership: Musicians or Instrument Makers <http://www.olpcnews.com/content/education/sharing_share_alike_user_content.html> Sharing and Not-Sharing Alike <http://www.olpcnews.com/content/education/sharing_share_alike_user_content.html> Finally, I wanted to add that I will likely be attending the New Media Consortium summer conference in Princeton - http://www.nmc.org/2008-summer-conference. Our group has found that community to be very supportive of the use the purposeful use of tech in ed. We also find their Horizon report helpful too - http://www.nmc.org/pdf/2008-Horizon-Report.pdf warm regards, /Jonah _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
