Description
The future of education goes beyond classes, textbooks, and tests - and the future is here. Academy of One introduces readers to Open-Source Learning, a model designed to transform K-12 education as we know it. Using Open-Source Learning, teachers and students create experiences together - and anyone can create all on their own. Learners ask big, interdisciplinary questions, consult the experts, and use the internet to collaborate with people around the world, get feedback that supports improvement, and distribute their work worldwide in ways that provide value far beyond a course grade. Open-Source Learning is a strategic framework that students, parents, and teachers use to explore interdisciplinary questions, create communities of critique and support, and achieve extraordinary outcomes. Open-Source Learning is free and easy to implement; Academy of One features case studies and practical steps to help you get started today.
