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


Group 3: dc mOVING forward

1. 

what does being in mean?

All in to the principles. Consistent interest, at least in principle


2. What value prop? • I don't know. • would like to be involved • a role to take on • (Not sure what and what level they'd want) • (Anxiety about levels of interaction/involvement) • (Anxiety • Cover to take time during work • Official-like website, publicity that can name names • Need an angle to present to our bosses ∘ show we're making an impact, giving our places of work a benefit ∘ interest, devotion to Open Ed. ∘ Documented collab. with other institutions ∘ Language teaching technology--part of a university initiative that I can play into ‣ What will the administrators respond to ‣ (Sounds like "what can I show to MacArthur to justify Design Camp:: what can I show to my home base/boss/institution to justify my participation in Design Camp future) ∘ presentation from FireFox people to institution/home base about FF to convince the powers that be that it's worthwhile to look at what we're doing ∘ demonstrate the FF potential to dumbass CIOs who love MS and IE ∘ help us show our higherups the value


3. • Establish an "education" category in AMO • Highlight it and make it something special (see #2) • Demo , document learning benefits from FF and Mozilla • Demo the RIO of FF • focus on tech. and how it's used to help learning • documentation on jetpack • style-guide to writing documentation ∘ set formulas ∘ good, bad, and ugly examples • ideas about paths toward becoming a leader in the community ∘ marketing ∘ drum-beat • certification/training via moz-dev network • code snippets ∘ with explanation documentation • how are all the Mozilla projects interrelated? ∘ examples of how people are putting them together • "7 Things About" ∘ Jetpack ∘ Google search ∘ (quick, simple, direct 1-pagers describing a technology/project -- search "Educause 7 Things") • talk to groups/classes/ etc. about why Mozilla is best tool for open education ∘ "Don't build a website, build in browser" • Move beyond "open" being enough of an explanation ∘ also need to demo tool quality • Events on many scales, levels of formality, cost • check Spread Firefox • resource page for ambasadors and ambassadorettes ∘ tiny presos that we did that are relevant to jetpack, but maybe not a full ambassador
