On April 11 & 12 Webmaker and Open Badges had teachers cutting, gluing, and sharing at the first annual Oppi Festival<\/a> in Helsinki, Finland. Since \u201coppi\u201d means \u201clearning\u201d in Finnish, this was the perfect place to have exciting conversations about celebrating learning; we challenged participants who came to our Mozilla Space to share what \u201copen learning\u201d means to them.<\/p>\n

\"Open<\/a>
\nOver two days, we held 2 discussion sessions and 4 hands-on workshops about everything from Mozilla\u2019s mission to web literacy\u2019s learning pathways<\/a> and the new Badge Kit<\/a> (still in private beta). When we first arrived, we were excited at the prospect of building teaching kit\"Oppi<\/a><\/em>s and sharing them with the Webmaker community. In reality, we were a bit too ambitious; the 50-minute sessions didn\u2019t allow for thorough introductions to Thimble and designing teaching kits. Even so, we had rewarding conversations about the intersection of privacy and collaboration, and spoke with young people about how to best surface these ideas in the classroom. And by preparing an etherpad of links<\/a> used throughout the unconference, everyone had access to all the resources as we went along; hopefully they\u2019ll continue to use them beyond the Festival.
\nWith exhibitors like Rovio\u2019s Angry Birds Playground<\/a>, speakers like Dr. Sugata Mitra<\/a> of \u201cHole in the Wall\u201d fame , and performances by talented artists like Finland\u2019s deaf rapper Signmark,<\/a> it\u2019s no wonder the 1300 participants were buzzing with conversation and ideas as they came coming through the Oppi doors. We look forward to hearing from the organizers of the Oppi Festival during this week\u2019s Teach the Web <\/a>call on Thursday.
