All - I'm delighted to share that there's a brand new book about how education can be more open *and* that y'all know quite a few of the contributing authors!
The new book, entitled "The Open Organization Guide for Educators," features chapters from Aria Chernik, Heidi Ellis, Mukkai Krishnamoorthy (or Moorthy, as most of us know him), and Wes Turner, who are all are all past POSSE participants (or in Heidi's case, a fearless POSSE leader), along with a slew of other authors [1], including yours truly. The book is free to download (Creative Commons-license, of course!) here: http://bit.ly/open-edu-book <https://t.co/QWAyt67F9X?amp=1> or you can have your very own "dead tree" version by ordering an at-cost-print from http://bit.ly/hard-copy-open-ed-book Here's how the book is described: What if we could build classrooms, departments, or entire educational > institutions on the same values that power open source communities? What if > we let open organization principles—like transparency, inclusivity, > adaptability, collaboration, and community—guide our experiments in > transforming education? How might that change the ways educators prepare > students for life in an increasingly open world? > > In *The Open Organization Guide for Educators*, more than two dozen > advocates for open education explore these important questions. Students, > K‒12 teachers, university faculty, campus CIOs, and leaders of educational > non-profits unite to explain the power and promise of a more > student-centered, participatory, and inclusive approach to 21st century > teaching and learning. I hope you all check it out! </shameless promotion> Best to everyone, gina [1] And if I missed anyone I apologize -- I am not sure who all is on this list! -- *Gina Likins * She / Her / Hers School-Aged STEM Volunteer Outreach Program Coordinator, Community & Government Affairs, Red Hat 100 E.
