Presentation Title: Bread and Butter: Civilization, Toast, and Open Content

Presentation Description: This presentation takes an initial idea – how to make butter in 15 minutes – and traces how to bring this initial concept into a set of openly licensed resources that can be used in a World Cultures class. The session is focused on process, so the techniques described can be used across grade levels.

The session covers planning, with an introduction to licensing and publishing.

    A really well thought out session. I like the way you started simply – making butter – to using that as a jumping off point for exploring early world civilizations. So many questions could come out of this for research at any level of school.
