[in SVK] “Vzdelávanie” podľa NGLSákov na NGLS 2

Ahojte NGL-Sáci,

pred viac ako rokom sme na NGLS 2jke rozprávali aj na tému vzdelávanie. Pripomeňme si nápady a návrhy vylepšenia toho ako sa učíme od NGLSákov. Prednášku za tím, ktorý si vybral tému vzdelávanie vedie Rasťo Geschwandtner, ktorý je okrem iného kurátor a organizátor bratislavského TEDx-u.


Link priamo na UStream je tu.

Takto krásne sme sa zahriali na minuloročnej konferencii a teraz je čas riadne načrieť do témy vzdelávania a nadizajnovať systém, ktorý je hodný 21. storočia. Urobíme tak 21. a 22. apríla na NGLS 3jke => ak aj tebe záleži na tom ako sa učíme, tak by si tam nemal(a) chýbať.
