The Open Web is facilitating the power combinatorial creativity like never before. While creativity has always been about remix and “standing on the shoulders of giants”, our networks now allow for boundless creative connections and collaborations. What happens when hundreds or even thousands contribute even the smallest bit to the project pie? How can educators and students participate in established crowdsourced projects, as well as develop their own? The Cloud has become our campfire, where we compose and share stories with the ever increasingly varied media available to us. Technologist Dr. David Weinberger famously noted that “The smartest person in the room IS the room”- can we then apply that concept to creativity? Could what we make together be more poignant, more powerful, and more interesting than anything we could have created individually?
In this session participants will explore various established projects and imagine how they might be applied in their courses or professional development plans. We’ll also take some time to ideate one or more original projects that could be implemented with existing tools.

and Whitman and a lot of 19th-century authors
used pre-internet models like Kickstarter…
not just going to rich patrons…
but people going to dozens or even hundreds
of people to fund a creative work,
a book where their names might
be inscribed in the first edition or a concerto

CROWDSOURCES GRADUATION SPEECH”
I think 99 percent of it is the process —
that’s sort of what it’s about —
is basically everyone being
able to be included

Like a recipe, meditation practice,
or familiar song,
the prescriptive nature of these assignments
was intended to guide people
towards their own experience
