She is passionate about the role of open knowledge tools in education because improving opportunities for participation in collaborative spaces is an important part of empowering individuals and communities.
Open and collaborative knowledge sharing tools have the opportunity to bring an innovative maker centric mentality into both formal and informal learning spaces.
Collaboration is the process of teaching, learning, and synthesizing simultaneously as part of a group.
