Hackschooling
September 30–October 4
 | Goals:
|
Lesson six considers how being digital and the hacker spirit can change education in the digital age. Contemporary approaches and educational practices were invented when the world was much bigger and empires had to be maintained. The goal of education was to standardize thought and practice in subjects that had to maintain the daily workings of a colonial system that did not have access to instant communication. While these days have passed, public education remains mired in the past. How might ubiquitous digital technologies change education for the better?
Wikipedia Work
In this lesson, you’ll begin to work with WikiEdu for additional Wikipedia training for your project.

Complete all reading and training under Week 8 on the WikiEdu dashboard.
