******************************************************************* Presentation What is Open? by David Mandel <[email protected]> David Mandel is interested in distilling the core ideas from the philosophy of Open Source Software and extending these into other areas like music, publishing, farming, and education. In the past he has given presentations on Open Source Agriculture. In this presentation, David wants to discuss Open Source in education. This is not a presentation about using Open Source Software in traditional classrooms as much as it is a discussion about using Open Source Philosophy to change traditional classrooms. We will discuss the work of John Gatto author of "Dumbing Us Down", the Moore Method of teaching mathematics, and David Mandel's personal experience teaching mathematics and computer classes in community colleges. ******************************************************************* Agenda: 7:00 - 7:30 Business We will discuss the status of our ongoing projects including PLUG's monthly Advanced Topics meetings, PLUG's monthly hands on clinics, PLUG for Education, etc. 7:30 - 8:30 Presentation See above 9:00 - ...
