As a brilliant example for keeping Open Education Week going, we salute the Alquimétricos team @alquimetricos for offering a brilliant activity for 3 days the week after OEWeek.
I urge everyone here who wants to be a contributor to a fantastic project to sign up for Collaborathon Alquimétricos – Kit Zero (Open STEAM resources for the classroom (March 14t-16).
They are offering multiple sessions over three days in Portuguese, Spanish, and English where participants will help by proofreading materials and participating in mapping activities. Mainly, it’s an opportunity to see up close a valuable and award worthy (hint) project 9 years in open education practice.
Sign up to be part of this Open Education Week effort.. I did, and I will be there tomorrow. How about you?
