On November 7th, from 7:00 - 8:30 pm, at the Plano ISD Sockwell Center (just outside of Dallas), I'll be speaking on the use of Free and Open Source Software in K-12 schools. This is free and open to the public. Details are available at http://edtechlive.wikispaces.com/Workshops. I will cover the use of Linux, Open Office, and many other programs that can be used by K-12 schools to decrease their software licensing costs, provide stable computing solutions, and introduce students to collaborative programming. I run the Open Source labs for the CUE.org and NECC ed tech shows, am currently working on a book for ISTE on this topic, and have a weekly web radio show on educational technology at EdTechLive.com. I'm looking for other school or district venues where you think this topic would be well-received, and to see if I might be able to demonstrate enough interest to find a sponsor for a more national tour. Please let me know if you feel your local school community might be interested in this type of a presentation. Thank you. -- Steve Hargadon steve@xxxxxxxxxxxx 916-899-1400 direct www.SteveHargadon.com - (Blog on Educational Technology) www.K12OpenSource.com (Public Wiki) November 6 & 7, Plano, TX: Two-day intensive Moodle Training with Michelle Moore November 6 & 7, Plano, TX: Two one-day workshops on the use of blogs, wikis, and podcasting in the classroom with Andrew Pass _______________________________________________ Fedora-education-list mailing list Fedora-education-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-education-list
