Thoughts on the Future of the Jetpack Community

Group 1:

Group 2: - sense of community emerging; 3am hackathon, etc. shared purpose/vision & expertise. shame to lose it - look at browse as lens to social learning - what should we do with the course? run it again, become part of a bigger curriculum? what's the future? - ambassadors: spread the word, get people involved - connect this community with broader education world

DISCUSSION 1: do you want to collaborate in a community of practice

• yes
• yes
• only as advisor

DISCUSSION 2 (10min): what do you need to get out of the collab to keep motivation above threshold?

• access to expert advice feedback, access to macarthur people
• keeping the list alive, giving feedback, geting coding help and ideas from the list

DISCUSSION 3 (15min): 3 best ideas for collaboration moving fwd and on contest for next year

• the "champion" of the group is the commandante, pilot, navigator
• bring a learning scientist/educator/designer/potential users to the contest and have them give feedback to contestant teams early-on
• connect CS education departments to the courses; make it a lab for a community. if associated with university, might outcast non-academics and older people
• give people the code snippets to get started: now go crazy! twitter, quizlets, overlay, screenshots
• each alumni gets a code and spreads it to get street-cred for others signing up with their code
• pair a contest alumni with new contestant and give some sort acknowledgement
• in the contest call, specify the learning toipcs: deconstruct x, y, z. language, science, math, etc.
• "learning" vs "education" vs "hacking education"
• give challenges about subversive learning topics
• get paired up with a "geek big brother" that could be a former parole officer that cannot leave his laptop
