Project Challenge: Opening Up Education
The World Is OpenWE-ALL-LEARN
Quote from Curtis Bonk:
“It is in this age [of web tools] that millions, if not billions of people can read, define, and share a new idea or opinion. Such collaborations will undoubtedly result in a wave of innovations and inventions not before possible. Creativity for the masses, by the masses”
The World is Open, Pg 36
Collaboration
The World is Flat (Friedman) collaboration leads to economic competitiveness
Globalization 3.0 allows individuals to participate, pool knowledge skills and ides and create new product
Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything (Tapscott)
The power of emerging collaborative technologies such as the wiki
“Our learning futures rest not only on the
realization that collaboration is not
simply an empowering engine for economic
expansion made possible by Globalization 3.0, but
also the gains in education that underpin
the economic ones” The World
is Open, pg 273
The Challenge …………..
