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.
