I took these at the Generation@ event on July 4 2006 to show the sequence of the Open Space event run by Policy Unplugged, with Futurelab. They used occasion to launch two reports available here. These examine social software and learning, and the potential of open source approaches to education. Interview with facilitator Johnnie Moore here.
