hack to school night
(my t-shirt from OSCON)
To be clear: the word hack has been associated with definitions ("sharp cough, "cut with unskillful blows," & "illegal/unauthorized computer access," e.g.) that do not describe what we do.
We make connections and facilitate conversations that help people learn. We build, analyze, evaluate and modify tools and working conditions to make them better.
You know how they say, "[So'n'so] just can't hack it?" Well, maybe [So'n'so] can't. We can.
So, at Back-- er, Hack to School night this Wednesday (8.28) evening, we are at it again. Get here whenever you can. Bring whoever you want. Offer them the benefit of what you know and find a way to learn from them too. Share new ideas about technology and how you can use it to get ahead in life.
Here is the program:
1. Learner-led conference (see below)
2. Periodic "Intro to OSL" presentations
3. Sign-ups for "friend of the course" events and "digital drop-in" nights
Here is the process:
1. Think about these questions and your answers to them;
2. Bring someone who cares to Hack to School Night;
3. Have them ask you these questions, be suitably brilliant in your replies, and demand that they take notes so that you know they're paying attention;
4. Turn in their notes to me, get your extra credit, listen to me brag about you briefly;
5. Go home and finish your homework.
Here are the questions:
1. What is this class about?
2. What is the easiest part of this class?
3. What is the hardest part of this class?
4. What have you learned so far?
5. What is your Big Question?
