Three days are jam-packed with visionary speakers, interactive creation labs, and cross-silo networking with top thinkers and doers in education." The unofficial pitch: "There are enough venues for sensible, incremental ideas. Come to a place where people are free to share ambitious, ridiculous ideas." Early bird registration codes available. Stipends for folks willing to blog about open education ideas possibly available, depending. --g -- Greg DeKoenigsberg CTO, ISKME g...@iskme.org _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
