March of the Penguins: The Continued Movement of Open Source in Education   
David Thornburg        2258 - Open Source    
The past two years have seen a noticeable upsurge in the use of Linux on student desktops, and in the growth of open source software in general.  As this trend continues we are seeing advances of the open source concept in other areas of education as well.  This dynamic presentation provides a current update of the growth of open source tools for education, and looks at other education-related open source projects, including courses for credit, textbooks, and even hardware. The gathering momentum of this surge will soon sweep across K-12 with great force to the delight of those who are prepared, and to the dismay of others.

RSS: Connecting Ideas and Knowledge
Will Richardson 5007
RSS is a powerful yet fairly untapped tool that educators can use to easily track many sources of information and knowledge. But it's also evolving into an effective way to connect people and ideas in ways that we've been unable to before. Using RSS, we can not only read what others write, we can read what they read, and even read what they create in easy, time-saving ways. This session will take a look at the tools and strategies that can make RSS an integral part of every educator's professional development and practice.
