* Profile: …a graduate of the Univ. of Oregon. I wrote my honors college thesis on metaphors to replace “Intellectual Property” that encourage stewardship of the commons of ideas. [http://ottonomy.net/thesis The Free Culture Commons and Future Generations]
* Project: I would like to develop a short curriculum on open courseware resources for a small group of advanced high school students in a summer academy program. My goal is to teach students how to use OER and some individual strategies to enable classroom cooperation (and beyond) with web-based tools.I also want to develop a package of web tools that can be adapted to a range of middle/high school courses, which I can also use to host [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_school "free school"] classes on my own server. I aim to help local teachers use OER strategies within their traditional classrooms.
