Description
Presentation
What is Open?
by
David Mandel
David Mandel is interested in distilling the core ideas
from the philosophy of Open Source Software and extending
these into other areas like music, publishing, farming,
and education. In the past he has given presentations
on Open Source Agriculture.
In this presentation, David wants to discuss Open Source
in education. This is not a presentation about using
Open Source Software in traditional classrooms as much
as it is a discussion about using Open Source Philosophy
to change traditional classrooms. We will discuss the
work of John Gatto author of "Dumbing Us Down", the Moore
Method of teaching mathematics, and David Mandel's personal
experience teaching mathematics and computer classes in
community colleges.
