Michael Jones: “Reinvent the Wheel! Why copy when you can create?”

Michael Jones started Open Equal Free in 2011, in the hopes of spreading his passion for education. He is working to develop the world’s largest and best database of open educational resources while also working closely with nonprofits in the developing world to improve the work they do. His goal, as the organization’s name suggests, is to make great education Open, Equal, and Free to everyone in the world, especially the developing world.

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED’s mission, “ideas worth spreading.” The program is designed to give communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level.
