[Toronto-dev] OLPC ON FIRE :) 6PM Mon @ Aberfoyle Inn on 401, 30km W of Mississauga/407

[Holt]

As our guest speakers Laura de Reynal & Mark Battley powerfully 
communicated earlier today, OLPC's strongest small deployments are 
coming together, 5 years into the OLPC experiment.

Seeding communities with much stronger volunteer coordination, far 
livelier+tighter curricular arcs/videos (eg. http://learnOSM.org 
http://EPHAS.org etc!), with quality curated libraries (eg. on 
http://schoolserver.wordpress.com, eg. using far more than Khan Academy 
& TEDx vids, eg. far less dusty ebooks).  All behind genuine gloCal 
outreach muscle, powered by the kids themselves?  Driven by crowdsourced 
social gamification more addicting even than your neighborhood lotto?

But who will now light a fire under community models like Madagascar's, 
Australia's and Kenya's -- so this priceless wisdom is not lost to our 
world?  What http://twitter.com/iHub 's do we need so We Too go MAD = 
M.ake A. D.iff?

Towards our eternal goal of giving backbone (structure!) to unstructured 
learning / blended learning / flipped learning.......how SHOULD our 
"Alearning Islands" of grassroots edutech innovation now reinvest for 
the COMING 5 years?  And who WILL write the book??

Please RSVP (currently our reservation is for 6) & see you Monday night 
6PM, with answers !
