Hi All,

Came across this interesting article in the Toronto Star.

A costume swap  for Hallowe'en. If you change the words about costumes, to OERs, it sounds strangely familiar - <smile> http://www.parentcentral.ca/parent/activities/halloween/article/872431--kids-can-re-wear-and-re-scare-at-costume-swaps

Two great quotes

1. “It’s disturbing how much waste there is on Halloween,” she says. “If we can reduce the footprint a little by not buying new costumes, that’s great.” (Gee, there's considerable waste of resources in education - we can reduce our footprint, and increase our reach by building on each other's strengths, and re-using and remixing resources)

2. "People used to call me cheap, now they call me green,” she chuckles. (I've heard that somewhere before - WE's tagline is that Open Education is a sustainable and renewable resource. There's quite a green quality to our work!

The gist here, IMHO, is that we can learn how to position our movement - and we're doing that - in a way that builds on our strengths of ideas and community - from other disciplines.

- Randy
