Our Core Values Open, collaborative, inclusive, community
Share class resources (especially) with developing world
Ideas and innovation in learning AGILE method of teaching/learning Learning in all directions (not just instructor to
students) failure ok
Tech Curious Walk the talk- try technology and social networks,

•Burrell et al. – making a mess: • Other players:/relationships
auctioneer, fish waste vendor, gender etc
• Tech: lots of other usage • Context: n/s, types of terrain, boards• Welfare= WAY more than income
•Can it be generalized then? •What to do in practice? • Be cognizant of debates• Local context• Don’t start with tech • Same old foundational factors in
design and implementation• Usually dynamic, changing, needs,
messy, ‘it’s complicated’
