Hi Adam, SJ, and Caroline, and everyone else on these 2 lists,
It is time to sign up for hands-on workshops at the CUE conference in Palm
Springs, CA, March 4-6 next year. I was thinking the best thing would be to
have the CUELA laptop library in the Open Source "pavillion" where folks could
play with the XOs and also someone there to help them download SoaS. This could
be paired with a one-hour "concurrent session" about what new and exciting
things are happening with OLPC and Sugar in Southern CA.
A three hour workshop using SoaS on PCs (not Macs...I won't push my luck),
would be another very good option.
Another option...Caroline, or any other educator, would you be interested in
doing a 3 hour workshop with me if I also I did a one hour concurrent session?
(They would not be concurrent with each other) I would already get a free
registration for the one hour and you would get one for the 3 hour. You would
have to join CUE (Computer Using Educators...a grand old organization...been
around and growing for 25+ years!) which costs $40 (registration costs $195
such a deal!).
Here is information from the call for submissions:
Concurrent Sessions (Deadline September 11, 2009)
Concurrent sessions are one-hour, lecture-style presentations that address all
areas of the curriculum and appeal to a variety of teachers. Sessions may be
given by a single speaker, team or panel who can address the needs of the
novice user of educational technology as well as the more experienced
professional.
Hands-On Workshops (Deadline June 8, 2009)
Hands-on workshops are three-hour presentations for 25-30 participants in
either a Mac Lab or Windows Lab. Each registrant will have their own computer.
Topics on specific software applications should also be curriculum related.
Please specify all equipment and software applications required for the
workshop. We are also interested in hands-on workshops for hand-held computers
and digital cameras. Commercial or vendor-led workshops are not offered at CUE.
Instead, we'd suggest that interested vendors sign up for a corporate room and
plan your own sessions (see below for information).
What do you all think? Any recommendations? Any takers? If no one wants to
submit a proposal for the 3 hour, I will do one about SoaS with a little
backgrounder on OLPC's successes, especially the ones we hope to have up and
running in SoCal by then. But, let me know asap as the deadline is next Monday
(June 8)
Caryl
Note: You will have to cover your own transportation, lodging and meal costs.
