== Three Tiers of Hive == | == Three Tiers of Hive == | ||
=== Tier 1: Hive Learning Events === | |||
These are learning gatherings that bring network practice and connected learning principles to life for an inter-generational audience. Examples include Pop-Ups, Hack Jams, media production sessions, Maker Faires and other events. We brand these events in two ways: | |||
Hive Pop-Ups have an intentional program design towards fostering a “Hanging Out, Messaging Around, Geeking Out” (HOMAGO) experience. For more on HOMAGO check out this handbook written by the Yollocalli Arts Center and Hive Chicago. At these events, multiple organizations come together with some of their best programs and deliver activities via learning stations tailored towards three levels of users: | |||
* Those who sample (Hang Out) by searching the room for what interests them most | |||
* Those who lightly experience all the activities offered (Messing Around) | |||
* A smaller but focused group who lock into one activity for the duration of the event (Geeking Out) | |||
Participating educators get to both contribute to and observe what it’s like to see youth self-direct their learning and design their own experience in a networked space. Often the question, “Why Hive?” is better answered after seeing a Pop-Up in action: adults see youth interacting and learning with peers, remix and re-interpret their programs, become part of the energy in the room, and perhaps most importantly, see youth travel from different activities/interactions guiding their own path through the controlled chaos. We have distilled the Hive Pop-Up into a Webmaker Teaching Kit and this video details the Brooklyn Public Library Storymakers Maker Party/Hive Pop-Up. | |||

The Hive concept has really developed into a grassroots movement with Hive Learning Communities forming around the globe. Current examples include Hive India, Hive Bay Area, Hive Berlin and others. | The Hive concept has really developed into a grassroots movement with Hive Learning Communities forming around the globe.

=== Tier 3: Hive Learning Networks === | |||
Hive Learning Networks (HLN) are city-wide vehicles for implementing and spreading connected learning ideas, tools, practices and values. These networks are fully operationalized with a staff, sources of funding, ways to seed innovation projects and a system for convening its membership. They accept the responsibility to be engaged in the stewardship of Hive Global. New Hive Learning Networks will be admitted through a review process of the Hive Global stewarding body, MacArthur, Mozilla and a panel of independent stakeholders. | |||
The minimum requirements for Hive Learning Networks are: | |||
* Demonstrated alignment and programmatic commitment to connected learning values and principles | |||
* At least one dedicated, full-time staff member | |||
* An operational budget of at least $150K/year | |||
* A grantmaking apparatus that seeds no less than $15K into ecosystem | |||
* Participation in Hive Global stewardship beyond home city | |||
Specific characteristics of the networks include: | |||
* Demonstrated commitment to providing equitable, accessible connected learning and web literacy opportunities to youth | |||
* A laboratory-approach | |||
* Portfolio of funded partnerships | |||
* Cross-disciplinary collaboration | |||
* Incubation of inter-connected learning experiences for youth | |||
The experience of consulting and participating in nascent communities, indicates that the components of successful Hives share common categories and characteristics. A common set of self-emergent values, include: | |||
* Encompass innovative and transformative learning experiences | |||
* Understand community needs and bridge gaps in local education | |||
* Outcome-oriented | |||
* Youth interest-driven | |||
* Embody experimental, iterative, and open source practices | |||
