This past weekend saw Toronto host, for the second year in a row, the 2018 Creative Commons Global Summit.
I attended last year as a participant but this year I wanted to do a little more by submitting a proposal to run a session about The Open Patchbooks. Rumour has it that my proposal arrived to CC as the very first submission. Fact has it that my session was accepted (YAY!) and slotted in as the very last presentation. Sunday evening at 5 p.m. (LOL!)
I’d been having fun throughout the weekend claiming that, technically, I am one of the headliners of the event. Like Beyonce at Coachella.
On the other hand I realized that in reality most people would be on their way home when my session occurred. Not to mention that the weather outside was utter nonsense.
Anyway, I figured I might as well get a little weird with it. I very much appreciate the eight of you who did attend. You are my heroes. You’re weird too, though.
The 31 embedded tweets below should explain things

I decided to do 2 weird things for this #ccsummit presentation:
-Tweet out all my slides via scheduled tweets a la #pressedconf18 (because it's 5 p.m. on Sunday and you probably left already)
-Do it in the style of an old music compilation TV commercial pic.twitter.com/sF8TfW3t0X— Terrry Greeene (@greeneterry) April 15, 2018

The Open Patchbooks! https://t.co/02sGfT6NCjhttps://t.co/aq2B67s6P4
Each person shares their story of their take on a teaching or learning skill. Put them together into:

The Open Faculty Patchbookhttps://t.co/usG1erfBVh@flemingLDS started collecting "patches" from faculty in Feb last year, when we got to 22 or so put into a book on @pressbooks and printed them for new faculty coming in for fall.
Still adding new ones! pic.twitter.com/447QX3pMSE— Terrry Greeene (@greeneterry) April 15, 2018
The Open Learner Patchbookhttps://t.co/02sGfSPcdJ
Started collecting the other side of the story this January. Again each contributor just picks one aspect to write about and share their personal take on it.
15 and counting! pic.twitter.com/KFOVMgsPSR

All new patches appear on their respective sites as they are received. We can then take a collection and move them to @pressbooks to publish a "quilt"
Have done one for faculty patchbook https://t.co/oEDYWOdWc8
and will do so for Learner Patchbook, too pic.twitter.com/4ASQY0S5V1— Terrry Greeene (@greeneterry) April 15, 2018
The next 5 slides will show you some of the topics that these young, up and coming Open Learner Patchbookers shared to:https://t.co/02sGfSPcdJ pic.twitter.com/Do6n305FK9

A wonderful and powerful story by @katelongfleming about what it took (and still takes) for her to be out. Thank you, Kate.

Bullying continues into college and maybe there's even less support to help those affected. See this patch about how it affected Mary and what she's learned about how to deal with it. pic.twitter.com/yjJJWVfJpP

But Wait! There's (Hopefully) More!
We will keep posting as long as we keep getting patches for either version. Write one about your teaching, about your learning, or make it into an assignment for your students.
Connect with me @greeneterry to do so. pic.twitter.com/1q0w2Qgql9— Terrry Greeene (@greeneterry) April 15, 2018
