I'm pleased to share with everyone that I've managed to get myself in as a speaker in the Open Source Schools "un"conference in Nottingham next Monday 20th July. Although it's primarily focused on open source software, they have agreed to extend it to talking about open source content as well.
I'll be leading a session from 2:05 - 2:35 on the subject of "using Wikipedia in Schools"
More details are:
Session introduction: http://opensourceschools.org.uk/node/11659 Conference programme: http://opensourceschools.org.uk/unconference09 Venue: http://www.ncsl.org.uk/lcc-map.pdf
If you are able to come along please do - it runs from 10-4 at a venue near Nottingham University. The cost is free for all school and local authority staff and presenters and £55 for others. The key note speakers are George Auckland , Head of Learning Innovation at BBC Learning and Graham Attwell , Director of Pontydysgu , an e-learning company.
Please spread the word and please let me have any suggestions for the kinds of things I should cover.
Regards,
Andrew
