Open Education--does it have real world applications?
So adimitenly I wasn't able to attend the confrence--blame it on my gallbladder--but from the reading I've been doing I wonder if any of this information is really relevant o me anyway. It's not that I don't think the information is valuable to good or anything like that. I just wonder if me, someone not planning to go into formal education, can really apply any of the principles anywhere else. I am planning to go into mass media, which means I obviously support an open network of ideas. I want there to be as many ideas out there as possible.Click here to read more »

I am not a huge fan of wikkis...there I said it. You may now beginning the stoning. The reason I don't like them though is because they are not a reliable source of information. I think they are a great way to exchange ideas, pssoibly also a great way to plagarize other people's ideas, but nothing I would be willing to site in anything I was working on.
Wikkieducator could be a different story however, if educators would use it wisely. Again we are talking about exchaning free ideas-like open courseware, those kinds of things.Click here to read more »
