(just blurbs here for now - until i get a chance to sift back through - sorry for the messiness)
University content shared freely out of a creative commons license.
Learning is free, only thing you pay for is the assessment for credit.
Non-credits add value,,, because everyone contributes.
Dave Wiley's penn straight address: (he coined the term open content)

What it takes to become an instructor of a course that's an open course..
one photo a day - 365
Putting yourself out there (via personal stuff) helps you become an open educator - present semi public selves
Alec's video tour
1. twitter in 60 sec by jim gates,
Network proximity: facilitates new boundaries
use your twitter pics, etc, to show your pln....
2. now network via sprint
internet: not searching anymore - connecting
check out itunesu
Jonathan Zittrain - randomly kind to each other - Ted Talk
Kiiva.org
Michael Wesch - the machine is changing us,.... free hugs, and hand writing videos
reddit - photoshop story
these are the things you should be focusing on in open ed..... a lot of genuine caring
open courses:
1. have to understand that knowledge is changing
2. have to be involved yourself - need to be a part of pln before you become an open educator
Alec's grad course movie trailer
his course - Alec - go to weekly sync sessions to see some live
use mapalist - cool to show where all were from...
here's a Google Spreadsheet gadget for that now
And if want to continue learning beyond - take content and aggregate through reader (google reader)
flat stanley?

next course - fall 2010
Teacher as connector rather than content provider.
Actually more powerful..... offers much more to students.
No longer a skill set - but a mindset.
Something being free actually adds more value.
There's a value in being free - Alec actually brings more students into the university through his free courses.
This is the attention economy: Michael Goldharber

my aha from today - i need more time working on my student connections, then on grading, etc.... use thatquiz.org etc more - so i have time to get tv (my school) alumni tapped into ning, etc...
again: more focus on teacher as facilitator of connections rather than supplier of content
Check into Tammy @armoorefam - she's had success with alumni taping back into her ning.
