The Open Minds Conference is the first national K-12 gathering for teachers, technicians and educational leaders to share and explore the benefits of open source in education. Virtual Learning Environments that provide 24X7 access to teaching and learning resources, cutting-edge and easy-to-use desktop applications, coupled with powerful management tools and low-cost computer strategies make the classroom of tomorrow available today!
Schools around the United States and the world are discovering the the benefits of open source software. In Indiana alone, over 100,000 students use open source software every day. Not only does open source save money, it allows schools to extend the benefits of technology more broadly, affording a better education to students.
# Are you looking for ways to provide more technology with less money?
# Could your teachers benefit from a virtual learning environment (Moodle)?
# Do you want an inexpensive solution for all of your students to access their school work from home?
# Would you like to save money in software licensing fees?
# Have you thought about developing a transition program to open source software?
# Are your school personnel looking for ways to "boost" learning?
Join us on October 9-11 in Indianapolis, IN for the Open Minds Conference! This is an unparalleled opportunity to talk with teachers, administrators and technicians from around the U.S. and the world, with a projected attendance of 500.
Dozens of sessions that address teaching and learning, leadership and technical issues related to open technologies make this conference a "must attend" event.
