Open Education 2008
This last week it was my pleasure to attend the Open Education 2008 Conference . I volunteered as well as presented. The volunteer work at this conference is always fun. It's great to meet people in the Open Education Movement. This year I helped out with some oral history interviews. I loved listening to everyone I interviewed talk about their involvement in the movement as well as what they thought of its future. Being still quite new to all of it, the historical side was fascinating. I also ran across a YouTube video while working on a presentation that I really enjoyed - Worlds Biggest Lesson - it's about education across the world and they mention education being open to everyone. Sustainability was a concept that swirled around this conference this year. We are all struggling with it and I hope we start to see some ideas work.
