Main Findings/Deliverables Useable site for free exchange of resources and discussions:  General information and active m3f student site  Habits of mind and practice (comfort level)  enCORE learning and exchange of ideas

Main Findings/Deliverables Providing a process and development of new resources: Secondary educators in the new media digital arts community have limited opportunity to develop new curriculum material. * Training the Trainers Symposium (T3S) workshop Furthermore, technology is under utilized in most subject disciplines. It is hoped that through this site new curriculum ideas are developed. * Festival – Student Workshop

Main Findings/Deliverables Providing a process and development of new resources: This is an opportunity for free access not only for teachers in Ontario but internationally. Teachers could plug in and self-direct interdisciplinary curriculum for a culturally diverse student population that exemplify good practices and highlight the variety of ways students learn. * KITL room

Implications for Open Source/Open Access  Student based educational project  Students become the centre and work with software developers to create a sub-enCORE layer for secondary educators interested in new media.  Student collected materials/curriculum ideas for resource section of enCORE – for free access of information.  Student established dialogues between industry and secondary teachers to promote the growth of the site.

Implications for Open Source/Open Access  Student would develop a way for the M3F teachers’ conference to be available ‘on site’ so that there would be no limitation of attending conference on new media.  Student would develop ways to increase communication practices between teachers (participatory method).  Student would develop links for secondary teachers to become more aware of post-secondary media programs.

What communities are affected?

How I benefited from SEP  Gained insight into wiki systems and how this can be used not only for documentation but following ideas  Found that enCORE had a potention for new media industry, teachers and students to engage in discussion  Watched the evolution for community development  Proud to be part of an open-source system to develop curriculum and share ideas

Conclusions and Next Steps  Curriculum development for industry and teachers  Moving system into more subject discipline  More International connections for students, teachers and industry  Way to follow evolution
