The World is Open: Introducing the Heroes, Gurus, and Revolutionaries of the Shared Internet

Abstract: In The World is Open book, Bonk reviews ten technology trends he calls educational openers that form the basis of the WE-ALL-LEARN framework. There are thousands of people who have led the way for each one of these trends. These are the heroes, gurus, and revolutionaries of the shared Internet. In this talk, Bonk spotlights the ideas and interesting stories of a few of the heroes underlying each trend. These case anecdotes will help personalize and contextualize global technology events that are often too overwhelming and frustrating to keep track of. He also outlines some of the technology tools, resources, and services that are emerging with each opener to radically transform education.

A copy will also be directly uploaded to the Ning for those without access to youtube.
