<div>Our Motto: '''"TOGETHER WE KNOW EVERYTHING"'''<br />
<br />
<br />
and a warning from [http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2008/pulpit_20080321_004574.html Robert Cringely]: '''we've reached the point in our (disparate) cultural adaptation to computing and communication technology that the younger technical generations are so empowered they are impatient and ready to jettison institutions most of the rest of us tend to think of as essential, central, even immortal. They are ready to dump our schools'''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGCJ46vyR9o]<br />

<br />
The three key aspects of [[Open Education]] are: 1) [[Open Content]]; 2) [[Open Instruction]]; 3) [[Open Assessment]]<br />
<br />
EDUCAUSE [http://connect.educause.edu/Library/EDUCAUSE+Review/EDUCAUSEValuesOpenness/47921 defines] the range of openness to include:<br />
<br />
* Open standards and interoperability<br />
* Open and community source software development<br />
* Open access to research data<br />
* Open scholarly communications<br />
* Open access to, and open derivative use of, content<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If education is to be transformed, these seven aspects need to be tackled concurrently [http://unschoolingrules.blogspot.com/p/introduction.html]:<br />
<br />
The Seven C’s of Education.<br />
<br />
* Curricula: How the content is chosen, validated, organized, and presented.<br />
<br />
* Content: The material supporting any learning objective. Ironically, content used to be considered the most important part of an educational model – thus the proliferation of tests. But in the age of Internet, content has gone to being the least important.<br />
<br />
* Coaching: The individual attention helping each student overcome their individual weaknesses, answer specific questions, and leverage their individual strengths, as well as provide motivation.<br />
<br />
* Customization: The ability to identify and meet individual needs.<br />
<br />
* Community: A group of peers that both make learning more effective and engaging.<br />
<br />
* Credit: Proof and documentation that a level of competency has been reached (which also provides motivation).<br />
<br />
* day Care: The ability to house students for a specific time.<br />
