Learning Creative Learning: MIT Media Lab registration deadline today

[Jeffrey]

From Educade:

Those of you interested in the MIT Media Lab class... today is the deadline to register on their site, so please go here now: http://learn.media.mit.edu/index.html  They've already had 15,000 people sign up and if you want to be grouped with us, please use the code 1267.

The first seminar is scheduled for 10am EST. For those of you who aren't planning to be online for the 7am class time, we're hosting evening sessions to watch the presentations and discuss the readings. Join us at the GameDesk offices at 6:30pm each week. Even if you miss the sign up, you are still welcome to join our weekly discussion.

Learning Creative Learning is a course offered at the MIT Media Lab. It introduces ideas and strategies for designing technologies to support creative learning. This semester, for the first time, P2PU and the Media Lab are working together to bring the course online. We are opening up the seminars, course materials, and hands-on activities to anyone with a computer and Internet access. It's a big experiment, we expect to learn a lot, and we hope you'll enjoy it.
How is this going to work? What will I be learning and doing?

 

You learn a whole lot about learning. And because learning (and learning about learning) is more fun with more people we'll group you with other students, so you can share ideas, give each other feedback, and make new friends. Each week we’ll focus on a particular topic related to creative learning, such as “Interest-Based Learning” or “Powerful Ideas” or “Tinkering.” We'll host a panel discussion, inviting some of the world’s best thinkers and builders to join us in person or online. You'll be able to suggest questions beforehand and follow along live (or watch it later). We'll also design a hands-on activity for each week that you can tackle on your own or in a group (more fun!). You'll get a chance to experiment with lots of different technologies and projects - many of which were developed in the Lifelong Kindergarten group right here at the MIT Media Lab.
