Introduction

Hello, my name is Ben Pedersen. Before I begin I would like to go around the room and get everyone's [name and] area of expertise so I know who I am talking to.

Now that I know more about all of you, I'll spend some time explaining my own background. I am an entrepreneur and a developer. I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a bachelor's of science in economics and two minors, management and mathematics.

I was tempted to get a minor in marine biology for a trifecta of minors starting with the letter "M".

mention self-taught?
mention other projects?
mention originally came to the University of Minnesota for Computer Science?

  • Non-linear organization of content is in the future of education. The Gates Foundation's Next Generation Learning Challenges awarded a $249,000 grant to Odigia to create a non-linear biology textbook called BioBook.  1 textbook, a quarter million dollars. Okeebo is a platform where any number of non-linear books can be created.
    
  • (business plan part?)
  • (social notetaking?)
• Help develop vocabulary
  
  • With Twitter you compose tweets, and you tweet at people. Be involved in the process of creating a similar vocabulary for Okeebo. Book, write, etc. don't quite capture what Okeebo does.
