[K12OSN] Open source conferences - NCCE in Portland, Feb 17-20

[Paul Nelson]

Hello Folks,

It seems like not very long ago when there were NO open source events
at regional conferences. Then teachers started coming with students
and other grass roots efforts started to show up all around the
country. Then Steve Hargadon stepped up and put on some GREAT open
source programs at NECC and now we're seeing demand at regional
conferences. I think this is all good.

Here's a short list of some of the workshops happening here in the PNW
at NCCE 2009 (not to be confused with NECC, the large national
conference which will be in Washington DC this year).

• Open Source for Schools
• Moodle for n00bs (newbies)
• Web 2.0 Basics: You mean you can do THAT on the Internet?
• Create Powerful Learning with Moodle
• Free Internet/Online Tools to Increase Student Achievement
• Multimedia Moodle Marvels
• Managing Moodle for Teaching and Learning
• Web 2.0 All you can eat buffet
• School 2.0: Living Learning and leading in a flat world
• Making Moodle Matter for Learners and Families

I hope some of you will post links to your own regional conferences on
the http://K12LTSP.org wiki.
