OLPC is organizing a [[Curriculum Jam]] in Manila, scheduled for the first weekend of October (5-7). We'll be working with teachers [[Curriculum Jam Fall 2007|around the world]] who are running Curriculum Jams in their countries at the same time. We'll be creating learning activities - developing miniature classes (45-minute lessons) to teach (anything we want) to local schoolchildren, who will actually take the classes on Sunday afternoon and give feedback on how to make the learning experiences better. After the Jam, we'll upload all the lessons plans we've generated to the internet and release them under an open content license so that other teachers around the world can do the same thing with their classes.
