Hi LeRoy
Peter is writing a paper at the moment which will give an insightful overview of our activities. Other team members are involved in writing up research as well, which will focus on different aspects of our work.
The Schome learners have been involved in a lot of creative / collaborative work. It is possible to get some idea by looking through the wiki, but there is a lot of information there, so it takes time. Perhaps a look at the last newsletter My Schome will give you a feel for the place.
This is taken from the main page of our
wiki:
You can download a copy of the MySchome magazine either as a pdf file (17Mb) or as a zip file (11Mb). This edition includes items on Archaeology, Schome in Space, Poetry, Sailing in SP, Trixxie's tips, Character design and much more ... (Mars is to be congratulated on pulling together a fantastic first edition - nice one Mars)
The
Schome Park Page also gives details of activities, and of course there is the
Schome blog.
The main obstacle in my view has been managing expansion. Literally hundreds of new people joined the Schome Initiative in a very short space of time, and I feel that sometimes we had some problems in ensuring shared understanding of overall aims and ethos. We are in the process of fixing this! Are there any particular risks that you are worried about? Would love to learn more about your research ideas.
I too could be described as being passionate about the learning experiences of young people (and older people!
), and get particularly excited about the potential of technology to help.
Your interest areas overlap with mine and those of most others involved in the project. Feel free to use any of the forum boards you can see to ask specific questions or start new discussions.
(P.S. I like the display picture too lol)
