Music serenades a group of energetic blues dancers on the main stage. Upstairs, the rapid neon lights of a laser dance party give way to the serene tone of a yoga class. In the next room over, a twelve year-old is describing his idea to combine the elements of play and learning that came out of a youth design thinking hack. This is freespace and it’s day 27 of a grand civic hacking experiment. In my other life, I consult on economic development work for the city with a focus on the Central Market area, where [freespace] is located. Fast forward to May, when I was approached by my friends Mike Zuckerman and Morgan Fitzgibbons about the National Day of Civic Hacking. We sat down with a few mutual friends and talked about what to do for San Francisco’s Hack Day. The result is [freespace] – a temporary space for lasting change. .: Ciclo de Ideias Confluências 2011 - O que é? :.
About « Reclaim Open Learning. The internet is an amazing place for learning.
But recent high-profile forays into online learning for higher education seem to replicate a traditional lecture-based, course-based model of campus instruction, instead of embracing the peer-to-peer connected nature of the web.

Mystic Midway: The Pop-up Carnival That Awakens You. The just concluded Social Capital Markets (SOCAP) conference in San Francisco was full of productive energy, quality connections, and enthusiasm for social change.
SOCAP is an annual event that connects social entrepreneurs and impact investors in the good economy. At this year's SOCAP, I was excited to explore the Mystic Midway, a creative space that, at first glance, could have been confused as a misplaced Burning Man project with its carnival-like set and costumes. I discovered, however, a deeper purpose below the surface of the midway. This pop-up carnival artfully provoked SOCAP participants to explore the unique gifts they're meant to bring into the world.
