> Dear Educational Leader:
>
> Schools around the United States and the world are discovering the
> benefits of Open-Source Software. In Indiana alone, over 150,000
> students use Open-Source Software every day. Not only does Open-Source
> Software save money, it allows schools to extend essential educational
> software to students' homes and into after-school programs, providing
> extended learning opportunities at no cost.
>
> Are you looking for ways to provide more technology with less money?
> Could your teachers benefit from a Virtual Learning Environment (Moodle,
> Sakai)?
> Do you want a solution for all of your students to access their school
> work from home?
> Is your school community looking for ways to increase student engagement
> and learning?
>
> Have you thought about developing an Open-Source Software strategy to
> increase technology access while controlling costs?
>
> Join us September 25-27, 2008 in Indianapolis, Indiana for the K-12 Open
> Minds Conference! This is an unparalleled opportunity to talk with
> teachers, administrators and technology staff from around the U.S. and
> the world. We expect more than 600 attendees, from the US, Europe, Asia
> and North and South America. Dozens of sessions that address teaching
> and learning, leadership and technical issues related to open
> technologies make this conference a "must attend" event.
>
> Teaching and Learning sessions will feature experienced teachers from
> around the world demonstrating successful strategies and techniques.
> Technology and Infrastructure sessions will feature experts from around
> the world on issues such as: connecting to your local Windows or Mac
> authentication server, managing large and small network deployments, and
> using interactive whiteboards in classrooms in Linux and open-source
> environments, and more. Additional sessions designed for Leadership and
> Policy will demonstrate how policy initiatives and effective strategies
> for using Open-Source Software help to meet your educational objectives.
