We are putting out the call for open educators across the regions covered for Day 2, Africa and Europe, to share a digital postcard remixed to show what open education looks like in this part of the world.
Once published to the postcard site, you can share and download an image of your postcard. Reply to this post and share you postcard… and in a reply you can add much more information than will fit on the card.
So we have an example here, I will share a postcard my colleague @jan remixed to share the spirit of openness at the PYCON 2024 conference held in his home town of Bratislava, Slovakia.
I will leave it to Jan to say more about the CC videos created, but you have to admit those people are having quote a bit of fun being geeks. And bonus points Jan, for using a custom stamp in your remix!
I created this postcard to share information about an amazing (OEAward-winning!) open education competition that takes place in primary schools across up to 14 African countries.
WikiChallenge African Schools / Écoles d’Afrique has, since its launch in 2017, encouraged primary school children to create over 792 articles to Vikidia (Wikipedia’s baby sister) and has added 4,098 images, drawings, and videos to Wikimedia Commons. The contest grows open-focused digital literacy across Africa’s children.
This is what it looks like when a bunch of nerds and mostly introverts (yes, really) get excited about the community event that went really well…
Since we regularly use open source software (Python itself is open source), we try to bring the open source spirit to our teaching, too: with sharing, co-created materials, and work on projects that contribute back to the community.
@IslaHF As kids, we learned about salt by watching The Salt Prince (Soľ nad zlato) – I only wish we could have gone outside to hunt for salt ourselves!
