Join with our keynotes daily for an informal follow-up to keynote, Q&A session. Open-Source Learning: An Education Philosophy For Our Time ABSTRACT: The 20th century featured major growth in our thinking about education. Well into the 21st century, after more than 50 years of the internet and two years of pandemic-enforced remote education, we need an inclusive philosophy that supports learner-centered, interdisciplinary approaches and integrates technology to prepare young people for an increasingly complex, uncertain future. Disruptions in school and innovations in technology have highlighted the need for Open-Source Learning. Students have responded by co-designing their experiences and achieving extraordinary outcomes – they’ve flown planes, led trips to Yosemite, started businesses, and begun to create a new normal. The best part? Some of your school’s practices already align with elements of Open-Source Learning. We can all connect and create value through software that we build by learning. Join David Preston for a tour through the theoretical framework, history, and pilot programming in Open-Source Learning that is engaging educators and students of all walks of life. And get ready to participate: there is no back row on the internet.
