FOSSED 2010

Just finished two days of presenting at FOSSED 2010.  Groups of educators from the world of “open source  and free technology believers” met at Gould Academy in the mountain region of Bethel, Maine for 2/5 days (and nights) of learning and collaboration.

I presented in four three hour sessions, which was exhausting but extremely rewarding.  My topics this year were:

1. Successful implementation of Google Apps for Education (not open source, but no cost to education)
2. Using Google Apps in your Classroom (with Maya Crosby from Lincoln Academy)
3. Establishing a Personal Learning Network
4. Web 2.0 Tools for Transforming Learning

This is a Conference that I have been part of since its inception eight years ago. I am always astounded at the devotion and desire of the attendees to make a difference in education.
