Hi Everyone, A few hours ago we launched the inaugural Open Content Licensing for Educators ( #OCL4ED<http://wikieducator.org/Open_content_licensing_for_educators/About>) online workshop.
Colleagues in this part of the world and those that like to stay up late are "seeing the futures which are about to happen in education your part of the world". As we rotate into daylight hours in your local time zones -- you too can add to the inspiration educators are demonstrating around the world. Selected "tweets" and "notes" of wisdom and inspiration from #OCL4ED participants include: - @betchaboy : <http://identi.ca/betchaboy> "We can make it free and still thrive!" (Australia) - @ <http://identi.ca/ifrank>ifrank <http://identi.ca/ifrank> -- Reflecting on the wisdom of Desmond Tutu: "We should resist unnecessary corporate control of ed material" (USA) - @santiav2004 <http://identi.ca/santiav2004> : "I've been educating for 14 yrs now because the greatest reward is to witness transformation by empowering wide-open minds." - @acalderon <http://identi.ca/acalderon>:"I have been a professor for close to 40 yrs because I like to share knowledge with others." (Puerto Rico) - @savvasan <http://identi.ca/savvasan> : "Free, open education is a crucial human right, and probably the only way for societies to improve." (Greece) - @pschlicht <http://identi.ca/pschlicht> :"I believe that sharing knowledge will empower others for the benefit of all involved." (Canada) - @sietecoyote <http://identi.ca/sietecoyote> :"To share knowledge is the heart of education" and to share culture is the heart of community, son let's we share" (Mexico) You can watch the timeline here: http://identi.ca/tag/ocl4ed Or better still, join in the fun by registering for the #OCL4ED course and make a difference: http://wikieducator.org/Open_content_licensing_for_educators/About Exciting times! 2011 will be a quantum shift year for OER.
