To: WikiEducator
Hi All,
Came across this interesting article in the Toronto Star.
A costume swap for Hallowe'en. If you change the words about
costumes, to
OERs, it sounds strangely familiar - <smile>http://
www.parentcentral.ca/parent/activities/halloween/article/87243...
Two great quotes
1. “It’s disturbing how much waste there is on Halloween,” she says.
“If we
can reduce the footprint a little by not buying new costumes, that’s
great.”
(Gee, there's considerable waste of resources in education - we can
reduce
our footprint, and increase our reach by building on each other's
strengths,
and re-using and remixing resources)
2. "People used to call me cheap, now they call me green,” she
chuckles.
(I've heard that somewhere before - WE's tagline is that Open
Education is a
sustainable and renewable resource. There's quite a green quality to
our
work!
The gist here, IMHO, is that we can learn how to position our movement
- and
we're doing that - in a way that builds on our strengths of ideas and
community - from other disciplines.
