We will be @ Datapalooza in DC.

Tuesday, October 9th we have been invited to the Datapalooza event at the White House (yes, that White House) in Washington D.C. to present on various architectures and applications we have been developing and deploying that use open educational data to better provide educators more tools and resources for their classrooms to support Common Core Standards implementation.

We are excited to get a chance to showcase some of our development and see all the great work going on by various partners across the nation at this event.

What is Informal About Informal?

While some of our methods may seem informal, we continue to ask the question, “Does education necessarily need to conform to formal conventions?”

We are striving to best identify both formal and informal learning opportunities all as OPPORTUNITIES. Whether in the classroom, or at home around the dinning room table, where learners can find appropriate materials and resources and combine those with a will to learn (or a deadline to keep), we want to be there.

“I never teach my pupils I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.”

-Albert Einstein
