Diverse things coming together

Knowledge has value

Prepare students to innovate

Diversity drives innovation

Combine ideas to break new ground

Medici Effect brought diverse people together (Renaissance)

Creativity: combination of existing ideas

Teams generate and execute more ideas

Diverse teams generate more ideas

1. Find inspiration from cultures other than your own explore connections

2. Diverse teams outperform quickly

3. You will not know what idea will work or not (Reserve resources for many trials)

4. Passion maximizes the chance of success

How to foster creativity in schools:

5. Encourage students to explore Idea combinations on their own

6. Encourage students to make mistakes (not when they should know what they are doing 2+2)

Make unlikely connections!!!

10 Common Pitfalls on the road to Open Source in an organization

Revolution Linux http://revoultiionlinux.com

10.  Technical interests superceding user interests

9.  Lack of user input (Ask what users are looking for:  solutions)

8.  Training Issues (Do trail runs, be careful of just in case training)

7.  Individual Needs vs. Organizational Needs (Balance is necessary)

6.  Changing software and versions too often  (OpenOffice failure story be careful  of new releases, test betas)

5.  Interoperability between systems (use open source apps that work on several systems) Firefox, Audacity, and Open Office for example

4.  Lack of local support (Create user groups)

3.  Buying a product, without giving the same kind of support as you usually do

3a.  Putting too much focus on hardware in the wrong moments

2.  Neglecting user interface (example the Drupal user interface, needs modification for regular users to use)

1.  Going for Open Source only to save money on license fees (You still need PD and probably should take license savings and put toward PD of the Open Source software)

Myths and Opportunities: Technology in the Classroom by Alan November on Vimeo

In this video presented by Mobile Learning Institute, Alan tours his hometown of Marblehead, MA and comments on the historical global vision of his community. Alan challenges us to think about the emerging role of “student as contributor” and to globalize our curriculum by linking students with authentic audiences from around the world. (For more, read Alan’s article, Students as Contributors: The Digital Learning Farm. novemberlearning.com/resources/archive-of-articles/digital-learning-farm/.)
