In the Classroom with David Preston

What does open source learning look like on the ground?

On Tuesday, April 21 from 10:30-11:30am PT (1:30-2:30pm ET), David Preston opened up his classroom at Righetti High in Santa Maria, CA, where students use open source learning,  an emerging education practice that allows students to capitalize on the scope and power of the Internet to create and manage their own learning experiences and produce interactive material that is available online to everyone. David is an open source learning pioneer and coined the term in 2009, and he discussed with Howard Rheingold how this shapes his classroom environment.
