We partnered with COSOLA-MACILE, a non-profit organization focused on K-12 education in less advantaged communities.</p> <p>In July, we are travelling to Itabo, Dominican Republic to teach 6th-12th grade students and teachers about the Internet, Open-Source technology and Drupal, using Drupal Gardens as the primary teaching tool. The Pilot Program will run for approximately 2-weeks as an after school program open to interested MACILE participants.</p> <p><a href="http://cph2010.drupal.org/sessions/designing-open-source-internet-curriculum-drupal-gardens-sharing-our-dominican-republic" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://cph2010.drupal.org/sessions/designing-open-source-internet-curriculum-drupal-gardens-sharing-our-dominican-republic#comments Curious Decision Maker Project Manager Designer Developer Themer Introducing Drupal Case Study drupal gardens education k-12 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:01:01 +0000 misscs 15733 at http://cph2010.drupal.org
